10 til 5 on Friday at end of month and one of the systems for reporting has gone down. Fun times in IT.
Yep, been there....

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

fucking hell.
I just got a call today saying I'm supposed to report to my new school (School Z), the one I'm working at in the fall, on Monday. Even though the principal at school A told me I was supposed to come back to her school on monday and I left stuff there and I am mid project.
Sigh.
Clusterfuck.

But, on the upside, just got back from Book Expo. I missed out on the ARC of Gaiman's new book which made me sad, but otherwise, I'm pleased with the amount of books I hauled home. Should be enough reading for the summer.

You know, we could experiment and cancel football.
I lost my motivation to clean anything about 20 years ago. Is there somewhere to buy that kind of thing?

I'm glad Book Expo was fun. I don't suppose you can put off one of the principals, Kat?

A fair amount, GC. The other books I missed was the graphic novel Plain Jane (being given at the DC Comics booth at a signing at 2) and copies of the follow up to the Mysterious Benedict Society which my kids love love love.
Burrell, I sent an email to the the HR people for both schools and the principals saying, "Wait. I was told something else. Where am I supposed to be?"

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Glad we're all cleared up, Burrell.
Wow--I look at this fanciful clothing talk, and I had a relatively whimsy-free childhood. I'm not sure how much of this is a third world thing, or just my parents being hard asses devoid of metaphors. But it was very clear to me and all my friends what was normal clothes and we'd wear nothing else out and about. We might play in stuff (uh, nightdresses on the head for the subordination to the European ideal of beauty), but we wouldn't even hang out with our parents decked out like that.

Wow, the Cubs just won a game that they were behind 9-1 in at the end of the 5th inning. That's when I got disgusted and stopped following the Tribune "from the cubicle" watch-n-post. Oops!
