You were very nearly devoured by a giant demon snake. The words 'let that be a lesson' are a tad redundant at this juncture.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

This weekend I have a birthday party, costume strike, and an end of year BBQ for theatre. I would also like to sleep because I am exhausted.

Much ~ma for Cash and Owen

Jesse, you have the perfect weekend. Has it already started?

Cash and Owen, safe mouth vibes your way.

I tried to get a cottage on the beach for Thanksgiving. They reserved in less than a minute. Sigh. Oh well.

Vibing for Owen's mouth!

I can has a social life this week! Yesterday was dinner with smonster and brenda and had a great time (yay for Buffista dinners!!), and tomorrow is movie night with two friends I haven't seen in a while. In between, I'm stuck here until late to make up for leaving early yesterday and then I'm working my usual 4-hour shift at the bookstore tomorrow.

I've got Sunday off to get things done around the apartment, and I have to go shopping for a replacement answering machine/phone for my living room (the current answering machine stopped working this week for no particular reason, but it is at least 12 years old).

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Oh!! This afternoon I'm having a massage!!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Has it already started?

YES. Today is Furlough Friday. Good times.

I would like a massage!! Although I did have one two weeks ago...

I'd be okay with Furlough Fridays if I actually got the day off. Instead we are having a "strike" for one day. LAme.

There was a raison in my pumpernickle bagel - not right.

No. it' not right at all.

I think what irks me about the work stoppage is that it proves nothing, messes with my years of service for retirement and requires me to take either an unpaid day off or to take one of my days as PN.

I'm really tempted to take the thursday before + the friday as sick days and give myself a long weekend?

We've only had one furlough paycheck so far, so we'll see how I feel about it next month. So far, the days off are great!

I just had to cut off my nails because one was breaking way down. Sad! I'm still surprised I can grow my nails past my fingers.

I hate my sick day situation this year. At 9 days taken, things are triggered for it to be noted in your review - maybe nothing happens, but whatever. I am at 4.5 days already. In addition, I have already taken 2.5 of the 3 personal days I get. And I know I am just feeling like a day off because the March/April stretch of no holidays. Thing is though, because I am my own worst enemy, the next three holidays look like this: travel, family staying with us, US Open & family staying with us.
