And, btw, we don't get Evacuation Day anymore! Even though it is super conveniently on the same day as St. Paddy's.
It's a real burden being right so often.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
I wish I had a day off. My last one was the 7th and my next one will probably be the 28th.

Coding and Sleeping
Current workplace is putting on the pressure not to leave. Sure it makes me feel like the prettiest girl at the dance at times, but it isn't much fun.

We currently have nine people in one department at my job who came from the same department someplace else. Apparently, it's getting rough on the latest people to leave.

OK, am I crazy or should I not need to install a new modem to get phone service through the cable company, when I used to have phone service through the cable company with the modem I currently have set up? I've spent more time trying to get someone to tell me I don't need to, than it probably would take to just swap out the stupid thing, so maybe I'll just do that.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
No napping where other people (co-workers) can see me.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
What the actual fuck, BBC:
The LSE said Panorama reporter John Sweeney posed as one of its professors on a study trip in order to film undercover in the country.
The union's Alex Peters-Day said the BBC used students "as a human shield".
Sweeney said the students were told a journalist was with them but that the LSE was not as it was not an LSE trip.
And of course the students deny that they knew there was a journalist along with them, as John Sweeney was pretending to be an LSE history professor.
Because, you know, we just loved losing all of the public's trust over the Jimmy Saville Newsnight thing, why not do it all over again with PANORAMA???

Art Crawl!!!
I took today off to finish moving and I'd gotten to the point of just staring at stuff so I moved one of the last big paintings and realized that I probably need lunch. So I'm taking a break to eat, watch Mad Men and visit my buffistas.
I'm trying to tackle a room that I need things out of and haven't touched. Egads, I have alot of stuff.
Also, there are rooms that just won't get done. Argh.

Explain to them that it's traditional in business to show appreciation with MONEY and POSITION and whinging about loyalty is a bit hollow as you learned loyalty meant jack shit the last time you got laid off.
