Just saw a comment on a news board that sent a shiver of anticipatory delight down my spine: "wait until Obama nominates Hillary for the Supreme Court."

I've never worked on my birthday, and don't ever plan to.
This is why I miss getting Columbus Day off. It so often gave me my birthday off.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

In work news, I have to create a 1-page CV for an academic. I'm starting from 12 pages! I have gotten down to 3.5, which I think is pretty darn good, if I say so myself.
