Ugh, ita -- that just sucks.
I know, world in peril and we have to work together. This is my last office romance, I'll tell you that.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

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?
Oh, ita, that sucks. ~ma to you.
The travel gods have not been kind today. It took me 1.5 hours to get to school today making me 10 min late for 1st period. It normally takes 55 minutes.
Some of my FB "friends" have posted that Barack Obama thing. They're no longer friends.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I forgot today was "take your sons and daughters to work" day. This should be interesting.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Here in Chicago, some schools are telling parents not to bring their sons and daughters to work today. Because if they do, the kids will be marked absent.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
Bring your son or daughter to work day kind of annoys me-- because it seems like it was started so that girls had images of their mothers' working. And now it is a) open to everyone and b) there are all sorts of activities so that no one is really seeing anyone working!

Because books.
I just turned my head too fast and pinched something awful in my neck/shoulder. OW.
It's sort of unfortunate -- taking my kids to work would mean letting them watch me copyedit or write in my jammies. Whoo hoo.

Yeah, they've completely lost the point.

Since I have been working from home more often than not, CJ tried to convince me that letting him stay home today would count as "take your kid to work". Ummmm, sorry Charlie.
Plus I did go to the office today. Which I am regretting big time. My headache does not appreciate the florescent lighting nor the big barometric change. Working from home would have eliminated one of those.

I dunno. My boss' kid just watched us have our boring meeting. She was wearing headphones most of the time though. He did introduce me and tried to explain what it is I do.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

There were some articles last year about a woman whose kids went to a school that allowed Take Your Child To Work Day as an excused absence. She was a stay-at-home mom and wanted to keep her kids home to show them the stuff she does during the day, and the school wouldn't allow it, because they said that isn't a real job.
