You must have really needed it, Suzi.
Weather.com tells me it's 54 here right now. No wonder I'm freezing.
I'm just trying to tell you that we have nothing in common besides both of us liking your penis.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
So, my old job has a new CEO. This year, instead of the previous free time Summer Friday situation, the new CEO is making them increase the M-R workday to shorten Friday. I have already seen one pissed-off Facebook post... we'll see what else shows up! Classic. I have to say, while I'm always happy to take free time off, I think it's fair to remember that you aren't actually owed it.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Sorry to hear about the hard school day, msbelle, but glad it's ending in a snuggle fest.
My day has been great--took MiL on some errands and had lunch at Joans on Third, then came home and made a couple tee-shirts. But my afternoon/evening is going to be stressful. Franny's after care has a big production tonight and she's singing in it. And the after care events are always chaotic and full of over tired, over stimulated children. Fun!

We always had to do that at our office. And we were split into groups, A and B, so the whole office wasn't gone every Friday afternoon.

It's not uncommon. And as far as I can tell, my job doesn't even HAVE Summer Fridays! Woe.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Work is asking for my home phone and my home email address. Man, I really don't feel I should share that stuff. I'm such a compartmentaliser.

Yeah. Not being owed free time is important for me to remember too. I have a conference period and I'm always peeved when I'm expected to have, you know, actual conferences.
Can we talk about the insanity that my life has become? Tonight I have an orientation at 7:00 PM. Tomorrow I have the senior awards assembly from 6:30-8:00. Then my students go to Disney all night for Grad Night. Friday we have school and then I have another meeting at 4:00.
Moreover, did you all know there is a website called Medwow where you can buy used medical supplies. It's intense. Someone is looking for a surgery table!

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
We have heard through the grapevine that there will be no more get let out early before holidays. It is annoying, but frankly, it means I will take the day off. I always hated taking the day off, and then finding out everyone else got to go home early.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
We had early release summer Fridays at my job, which I never remembered to take. I'd wander around looking for people whose input I needed on various matters, and then go, "Oh, yeah, summer Friday." Then the Powers that Be canceled them. Or so they'd have us believe. The office tends to look awfully empty around 3:30 on the nicer summer Fridays.

Do you have to *go* to Disney night, Kat?

Good god. I went right to a Winchesters vs. the zombie doctor place there.
