le nub, my birthday never falls on Thanksgiving. Pity my poor mother, who always made Thanksgiving for 20+ people, and had two daughters with birthdays on Nov 20th & 21st who insisted on having their own cakes.

I had a supervisor who once made a point of staying until the bitter end so the rest of us wouldn't have to, and now that I am the supervisor, I try to do the same.

Happy birthday, Sparky! You are good people.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

When I'm hung over, nothing is better than a egg & cheese on a salt bagel.

The status is NOT quo.

Happy Birthday, Sparky! And way to pay it forward.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Salt bagel with cream cheese and tomato. Or everything bagel, especially if "everything" includes salt.

Everything bagel with regular cream cheese or veggie cream cheese. Or egg & cheese. A sesame seed bagel is fine, but no substitute for everything. A proper bagel should, at the very least, be both oniony and garlicky.

Sesame from Montreal is the one true bagel. After that (well after that) are NY style bagels, where I can be more forgiving of the extras gunking them up. Salt, onion etc.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

I do like a plain bagel with cream cheese and lox. Quite a bit.

I just survived a trip to Trader Joe's. I figured the afternoon before Thanksgiving would be crazy, and it *was* packed, but I had no trouble getting parking, and I got everything I needed, and the TJs employees were handing out samples of pecan pie and wine, so it was all good.

And now I am back at work, where I will work until 5. I can think of only 2 instances in 17 years where Big!Boss let us off early.

Well, I got movement on my job. My application "has been referred to the selecting official for consideration." No indication of how I scored.

Do I sit on this, or do I call the guy and badger him?

I think I call.

... balls. He's out. I'll have to wait until Monday.
