'Never Leave Me'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I get Monday off for the first time since I started working in this department! Due to the recent reshuffling/upheaval around here, we've been taken out of the "support staff" category and no longer all have to be here on days when only the tax people are here (because they don't get any time off before April 15th). We do have to have minimal coverage, but it's not going to be me, at least not this year.
(eta: Presidents suck anyway.)
Well, some of them are sucked...
I just bought a ticket to see Gogol Bordello on March 4th.
::jealous!::
I had monday off. Then they took it away and told me I have a floating holiday after April 1. Buh?
People who do not show up to important video cons who are the KEY PEOPLE to talk to suck. I had to call his freaking boss, who pulled in two people who had NO CLUE and I didn't either and then he finally shows up. I mean, jesus.
And I got asked to hand over the keys to the kingdom. Again. Seriously, you can keep asking, the answer has been no for 15 years. Do you really think that is going to change? The gods say no, I say no, got it?
I have to be in by 9 tomorrow. Bah.
Tickets are still available, Kathy! They're playing at the Riv!
Daycares are NASTY LITTLE GERM FACTORIES AND I HATES THEM PRECIOUS.
Babies = Carrier Monkeys.
Now I was gently reprimanded for escalating to the boss I did. Should've talked to the group lead a level below. Well, fine, except I didn't even know what group he was in! Sorry I got your buddy in trouble, but sheeit. He didn't show until 45 minutes after the scheduled start time and that was AFTER moving it an hour later. Not my problem, people.
Huh.
ABC News' Teddy Davis Reports: On Wednesday, a top adviser to John McCain said more definitively than he has in the past that he will step down from the Arizona senator's presidential campaign if the presumed GOP nominee faces Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., in the general election.
"I would simply be uncomfortable being in a campaign that would be inevitably attacking Barack Obama," said McCain adviser Mark McKinnon in an interview with NPR's "All Things Considered." "I think it would be uncomfortable for me, and I think it would be bad for the McCain campaign."

Woot! Go Texas!
Court overturns Texas ban on sex toys
A federal appeals court has struck down a Texas law that makes it a crime to promote or sell sex toys.
"Whatever one might think or believe about the use of these devices," said an opinion written by Justice Thomas M. Reavley of the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in New Orleans, "government interference with their personal and private use violates the Constitution."
Under Texas law it is illegal to sell, advertise, give or lend obscene devices, defined as a device used primarily for sexual stimulation. Anyone in possession of six or more sexual devices is considered to be promoting them.
= "there's no way in hell we can beat Obama, and I don't want to be stuck with a loser when everything tanks"?
