I am a little bit of a work-a holic, I will admit, and I hate making people disappointed in me. I work late and early at my regular job, too, which led to 3 days this week of working from 6:30 am - 8:40 pm, plus travel time-- so now I am tired and cranky, and I have been doing this to myself since high school (I used to work tirelessly on the school paper, and once ran National Foreign Language Week when my teacher broke her leg. I volunteered (again in high school) to spend the summer cataloging music with our chorus teacher, and I regularly worked 40 hours a week in college, and in the summers in high school) I have to learn how to say no, but at this point, at the theatre, no one is asking, just assuming things will get done.
Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
What are people doing this weekend?
All the homework I haven't gotten to all week because it's been so hellaciously busy at work.
Do I sound excited?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I'm excited this weekend because I don't have any plans in between tonight and Sunday afternoon. I hope to sleep a lot, and then we'll see. Sunday is a coworker's wedding.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
I'm seeing a show tonight. Tomorrow birthday brunch w/the fam. Sunday is a first birthday party.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil
The usual: dishes and TV tonight, bookstore work, apartment cleaning and laundry tomorrow, and then some shopping at Target and also trying to track down boots for winter on Sunday.

Dancing tonight, then picking up [cough,mumble]thisgirl[mumble] and watching a movie and, um, stuff. Possibly a dancing class tomorrow. I desperately need to do some laundry. And cook some real food. I'd like to go to the farmer's market and buy some pretty flowers cheap before we stop having them.
...that doesn't feel like much. Maybe I should consider making plans.

My hours are supposed to be 8:30-4:30. I'm getting much better of actually leaving somewhat on time.
This weekend, I'm going to try to see at least one of the museum exhibitions I've been meaning to see forever, probably Chihuly at the De Young.
"I leave at 5:30. I can make an exception on rare occasions but I need advance notice."
I think everybody should be able to say something like this, regardless of their actual home situation.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
One thing I really like about academia is no set hours. The summer that I did office work, I nearly went crazy with having to stay in one place until a certain time.

Lament of the Support Schlub:
"Hey, everybody, this Friday we're having the big quarterly meet-n-greet with the execs, with the catered lunch and everything! Reserve this two-hour spread and take a bit longer lunch to eat and chat and get to know your co-workers!"
Except for you folks in support. We've scheduled you in to these twenty-minute slots, so don't dawdle.
Oh, did we say twenty minutes? We're a little busy. If you could just scurry out there, scrabble together a quick plate of food, then hustle on back here, we'd appreciate it. Gosh, we just appreciate you real hard workers, we really appreciate it. OK, ten minutes, if you really have to.
Sorry that all the really good food was gone by the time you got out there, but, hey, it's free, right? And there's most of that bean salad left. Shouldn't you be getting back to work?
