We get pretty decent vacation days, and they treat our sick days as "occasional absences", which means they don't give us a set amount, and they don't accumulate or roll over.

I decided I needed a mental health day today, so I am taking one of the two personal days we get a year. Pretty soon I am going to meander up to SF to get pedicures and eat oysters with Juliana.

I realllly want to take a mental health day, but am hoping to have a job interview soon, so I'll take the day off for that.

Lee and Juliana are the luckiest.

But in my defense, it's the sort of thing that's just stupid enough to be believable.

Hey, it's why I asked. These days you never know.

Congrats Vortex and flea!

Something cute from this weekend. My daughter had a sleep over with three other girls. The twelve year old girl in the party happens to be in L's class even though L is ten. Apparently, they don't get along. Anyhow L was staying with grandparents that night be he said he wanted to go back home at 11:30 knowing the girls would be leaving at 12:00. At one point he was sitting in the living room pointedly looking away from the twelve year old girl. Meanwhile from the way she was beaming she was clearly enjoying his reaction. It's cute and funny the way they interact.

It was a needed thing, even though I am also taking two vacation days at the end of the month.

I've had a week off in February, I've got three days off in two weeks, plus I've got another week in June, with a week planned for October. We're not allowed to take more than a week at a time--tech support coverage issues.

If I had a pushup bra I could control from my phone or my iPod, I would totally move my breasts during conversations. I'm really good at poke facing. And there's a chunk (Gondola Committee gondola-voted on the Gondola Rules, M!) that's not.

I feel kind of bad that I remember Colin telling me I've met Jerry Minor better than I remember meeting him. I...think he was nice? He wasn't not nice, and he wasn't not funny, because I don't hate him or think he's a waste of stage (I do that a lot), but what the fuck is wrong with my brain that I forget people so easily--I swear, most of Montreal is remembered for me-D in Vancouver has custody of the first 3 years, and Colin and sister share the second 3. Large chunks of New Orleans are missing, and New Orleans wasn't a large enough chunk for that to be excusable.

Too much work this morning. I hope I forget that.

I bought the wrong pens yesterday. Sunday night I missed my bedtime because I insisted on sorting *all* the pens in the living room--I missed bedtime by at least half an hour. That's how I knew I needed more. But apparently not the right ones...HELP ME I'M DROWNING IN PENS.

Art is killing me right now. I need structure and a place and I have neither. I don't know what I'm doing.

So...anyone want to take bets on when I get the Easter music out of my head?

Memorial Day

There's Easter music? Or do you mean "Jesus Christ is Risen Today"?
