I am definitely up for a drink and post. Going back to work today was dire. I think it made the reality of not getting awesome job sink in.

Also, bought tickets for a concert tonight and my friends who were going to go aren't, and I am definitely not up for going alone.

I'm reconsidering the wisdom of working on Thursday. I have vacation time I can use. I should use it, right? And then today would be my Monday and my Friday.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

The fourth is a picture of 3 of the 4 guys from "Anchorman".

If the missing one is Paul Rudd, I have no interest. Curse his adorableness.

Take the day, shrift.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

The missing one is Steve Carrell.

I'm gonna do it, Cass!

I think taking some time to relax and make a dent in the giant backlog of TV I'm behind on is a wise choice. I haven't had a chance to watch any of the new QI or Never Mind the Buzzcocks.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

I'm glad you are taking the day, shrift. Seems only right.

Somewhat related to fucking goats, I never realized that "fucking the dog" was a Canadianism, which I learned in this article: [link]

And lead to the discovery of this QI bit: [link]

Still waiting for plumber. I got bumped to the 5-8 slot. 'Emergencies.' YO, I CAN'T FLUSH THE TOILET. I SCHEDULED A WEEK AGO.

Not the plumbers fault except by over-extension. Which the warranty people will be made aware of.

Unamused.

WTF, sara--yeah, they may be thinking you scheduled therefore aren't an emergency, but....no. Just luck/timing/holidays/generous neighbors!

An old coworker saw me post on FB I was in the airport, and stopped by to say hi. How fun! I haven't seen her in probably 5 years?

I'm hoping Thursday/Friday to get some organizational/onerous work done. Fingers crossed no new fires popped up over the holidays that I will need to deal with.
