Buffy ,'Get It Done'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I like that kind of stuff, Jesse.
But if I got laid off right now, I've probably already done the bulk of my holiday spending. So it gets to suck and I'm out the dosh anyway.
Yeah, but maybe you haven't given it away to people yet, or had the big holiday dinner.
I mean, it sucks big time either way but I think before would probably be better.

Well, faced with privation, you do what you have to do. I can't imagine the grief of having to unwrap and return presents. Not that I think I could return what I've bought, though. Etsy.
I'd probably be looking to skip people on Christmas if I got laid off just before.
There will be a research librarian position opening up at the Supreme Court after April - if anyone is interested, get your resume in order!
That's an awful lot of trauma all in one place. I would have thought Elian Gonzales was earlier, but maybe I can still make an argument that culturally, the decade didn't start til the election, if not 9/11.
Our holiday party is this afternoon. I'm supposed to be one of the official photographers. I just know that all afternoon I'm going to have Brian Krakow in my head saying, "The thing is, when you're yearbook photographer, you're never, like... in the picture."
Come to think of it, I've missed Brian Krakow. Maybe it's time for a rewatch.
Well, if you are one of the official photographers perhaps one of the others will shoot you. In fact, perhaps the photographers should make a pact to shoot each other.
Wow. Those pictures made me tear up, and I didn't even click on any of the traumatic content. I hope no one here noticed.
At least Usain Bolt makes me tear up in a good, amazed way. When the vendors found out I was Jamaican the conversation quickly turned to him. And then from there to Tiger. I think he's as good a topic as weather these days, if you want to get a little casual.

Certainly the decade will likely be thought of as the Bush-era (or error). One can argue that there was another president named Bush, but that's a presidency that will be forgotten pretty quickly. Bush senior is the Millard Fillmore of the modern age, whereas Bush junior is more the James Buchanan.
The 00s sucked.
How sad is it that Paris Hilton is one of the more pleasant pictures in that set?
