Six minutes until I can leave. Tomorrow is some random holiday, so I don't have to be here at all, yay!

tick-tock, 5 minutes

If one were to hypothetically work at a university, would one typically get the days that the university is closed off? And would these be paid days off?

Define "closed." Classes not being in session does not mean closed. We close for major federal holidays, and that's about it. I think it's 13 a year.

Add-Ons are the third-party extensions you can add into Firefox. To get to them, go to Tools->Add-Ons, and select the Extensions icon. You can enable/disable them at will there.

If Firefox is driving you crazy, Opera, Chrome, and even IE8 are all worthy alternatives. I can't say much about others because I haven't used them.

I honestly don't know. I'm looking at it from a student's perspective. There are days when my school is flat out closed. You can't go anywhere or do anything on campus.

When I worked at a uni, it depended on the office.

lisah - did you ever get a chance to talk with your neighbor about the chair at sara's house? I have a couple other vintage things if you see her soon to talk to her about.

This year, we call those days, "furlough," and we do not get paid. Otherwise, the library is open every weekday (and most weekends) whether classes are going on or not, except for obvious holidays like 4th of July. And most campus offices are the same.

msbelle, I just found a dozen other good videos in the boys' room. Chicken Run, Disney's Hercules, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, and more.

Opera looks very pretty. I'm tempted.

When I worked at my grad school, I learned that the offices were closed on Fridays in the summer, but (at least admin) staff had to take leave or not get paid for those days. Sweet.
