Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

July 1 really doesn't say much to me for me except for the convention of fiscal years, which means that I get to that date and think 4) What Did I Forget To Turn In That Was Absolutely Due Yesterday?

I go to the new fiscal year, too. In the library, they close certain systems (linked to finances) for the year-end rollover two days in advance.

Three for the fiscal year. Team university, high five!

Yep, we're handling a bit of "OMG tomorrow's a new fiscal year and we have to get these eleven-billionty things signed right now!" panic at my office, too. We're not part of a university, but we sort of budded off of one, and it looks like the chronology stuck.

My thought - this year, at least - is "it's July 1 and I'm off tomorrow! I have a FOUR-day weekend!"

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

My thought - this year, at least - is "it's July 1 and I'm off tomorrow! I have a FOUR-day weekend!"

Me too. I just came back from a five-day vacation, and I so need another one. One that doesn't end, preferably. With pay.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

People on the internet are being very wrong today, in many ways, and I have a risk log to complete for an meeting sometime tomorrow and my head hurts and also? Whine. Total whine.

I'd love to take Friday off for a 4-day weekend, but I have too much to do tomorrow and Friday. Feh.

More like "holy god where did June go??" and "when is it going to be nice and summery in Seattle, and will I ever get to enjoy it if it is??"
