Screw those people.
Yeah! Like anybody walked around saying, "Hey, Happy Year Zero!"
Pretty cool except for the part where I was really terrified and now my knees are all dizzy.

With the chaos of converting between Julian and Georgian, and the post-dating of Jesus' birth and all, we can do a little Handwavium over the early parts of the calendar.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
ZenKitty, I'm so mad you're working through your vacation. You need to not count it as time off.
I'm mad too! I worked 12 hour days for two solid weeks including weekends to prepare for *no one doing my job for two weeks* and then last week my manager handed me a stack of work for another journal that had to be done in two weeks, and there was no way to finish it all before the vacation had to start.
I have to officially take it as time off, because I can't carry those days over. But you betcha I'm keeping count of the vacation days that I've had to work. Next year I will be taking that many days off and not reporting them. I consider them stolen, and I'm gonna steal them back.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
tommy! Your geek cred!
Hey, sometimes I gotta go with my gut.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
That's a relief. Stick it to the Man, Zen.

Nah, that I blame on... what do you call it when you're so narrowly focused on a problem... forest for the trees or something. No wait, my boss wrote the stored procedure - I blame him.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Working at home means I'm home for the telemarketer call. Woo. Hoo.

Fantastically strange cake sculptures
OK, the Jesus-head cake isn't freaky because it's a Jesus head cake. It's freaky because it's a smiling Jesus head cake that's looking bemusedly up at its crown of thorns.
