And then there goes your re-election.

I think that's probably the case. But it's so transparently trying to have it both ways. It's absolutely morally wrong until there's a tough consequence to standing by your morals.

Wordy McWord. Also, what msbelle said.

JZ, I would read your Bible fanfic!

Ooh, that sound great, JZ. I was just talking about Mary, and how HOLY SHIT the whole story is, when you really think about it. Possibly I should not say "holy shit" when talking about the BVM, but seriously.

In other news, I am feeling very productive, as I have made a vet appointment for my cat and called the old vet to have records sent over. And I made the appointment for after Christmas, in case anyone heard me talking about wanting a new carrying case.

I just ran my cashflow until next pay day and hate my lack of day to day budgetting. At least my lunch today is paid for.

Do people get gifts from their bosses?

I did, unexpectedly, and now have no time to get her something before Christmas. I'm not quite sure what to do.

I kinda refuse on principal on gifting up the work chain, unless I am just friends with my boss. Last year, I got him a jokey gift of gum because he chews it constantly. But I don't think he got people anything this year and as head of a department I think that is odd.

I have sometimes, have not other times.

Ditto. Although I have received gifts from reports (who I also gave gifts to). I forgot about this year, so, sorry team!

It's not too late to send a naughty santa to the office. ijs.

My boss will usually get me something small, like a gift card and a loaf of limpa bread from the Swedish Bakery (we're both 1/4 Swedish and she lives near Andersonville, the Swedish neighborhood of Chicago, so it's a little tradition we have). I use my discount at the bookstore to get her Russian Icons calendar every year, which she always reimburses me for, and then I get her a greeting card.

I bring cookies or some other treat into the library for everyone to share, but I don't give individual gifts to people. I do tell my department that on the day before the Winter Break I do not expect them to come back from lunch, and I shut the library down.
