Tonight: Boskone, tomorrow: 8 hours of programming class, then Boskone. And Sunday: Boskone.
I'm not sure what happens Monday, except that I DO have class on Monday night.
Take jobs as they come -- and we'll never be under the heel of nobody ever again. No matter how long the arm of the Alliance might get, we'll just get ourselves a little further.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I found some Wonder Woman printed flannelette on a clearance table at my local fabric store for $1.99/metre, so I bought 7 metres. My friend is WW obsessed, so I knew I had to make them for her. She doesn't know about them, so it will be a total surprise.
That's fantastic!
A co-worker here at my full-time job works part-time at the local Jo-Ann Fabrics, and she was telling me that their sales are way up--no surprise, with this economy.
Sewing from scratch is not cheaper than buying cheap clothes, though, even if you don't take your time into account. For example, I just got clearance pajamas for like $6.
OK, by the skin of my teeth I met a stupid deadline I kept forgetting about. Technically, the deadline is Sunday, but yeah, no thanks. I sent out the thing I promised people "this afternoon" by like 12:30. I got half of my department out of a long and boring meeting that everyone didn't need to be in. I am officially done!

Done is good, Jesse.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
I was all excited to leave early and my boss actually did leave early, but then I remembered that mac is brought in to me on Fridays, so I couldn't leave anyway. I did the remainder of my 2008 medical and childcare reimburseables. Looks like I was off childcare by $72, but on medical I under contributed, so I will max that one out.
I'm also really grumpy and don't really know why. I am generally dissatisfied with everything.

My 24 year old devoutly religious half-brother and the parents of one my daughter's schoolmates are arguing about the effectiveness of abstinence-based sex education in comments to my Facebook status.
Gah.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

Ha. The school board in my town voted last night to replace the current abstinence-only sex ed curriculum with one that actually mentions contraception. I posted my pleasure at this step. The paper said we are the ONLY SCHOOL DISTRICT IN GEORGIA that is now (well, will be) teaching about contraception.

I just found out last week that my current school is not allowed to teach contraception. Abstinence only.
