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.
PTO is the best gift ever.
Kinda hard for me to do as I have to clock in and out.
Well some friends of Buffy played a funny joke and they took her stuff and now she wants us to help get it back from her friends who sleep all day and have no tans.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
It's not too late to send a naughty santa to the office. ijs.
A what?!? You did not just suggest I send a stripper to my former office.

Always Anti-fascist!
Well, even with murder, there is a self-defense sort of mitigation, Maybe that's it, although it's more like what Connie said. Mary got called by a spirit...she knew things were going to be okay, eventually, right(I'm not sure if she knew how the Son of God part was going to play out, though.) I'm not sure more mortal-type women feel that all the time when they become pregnant unexpectedly.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I've never received a gift from a boss, and when I was a boss I never gave one. I did receive gifts from my employees, but not Christmas ones, just ad hoc stuff.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
My craziest bosses have always bought me the most gifts. I think they thought they were buying me putting up with them. Seriously, one year my boss bought me almost more than my mom did!
My semi-non-crazy boss and I exchange really tiny gifts (like a little bag of candy or something) now.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I'm in a weird situation here, because none of my actual bosses that I report to are likely to give me holiday presents, and I didn't send any of them one (I did send some candy to the SF library staff, but my boss won't eat it), but I have gotten one box of candy from a partner, who is sort of my boss too, and may get others next week.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame
I'm not even sure who my boss is this Christmas. The great guy who hired me has moved to a different position and they haven't replaced him or realigned us to anyone else. So, all I really want for Christmas (work-wise) is a spot on the org chart.

I meant to send some treats to coworkers, but meh.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
But, erika, the self-defense argument would apply to "life/health of the mother". If people will excuse my indelicacy, the rape/incest clause is something more along the lines of "he had it coming."
