I've managed to work at least two hours on every day of my vacation except Christmas (and including today, of course)
Pretty cool except for the part where I was really terrified and now my knees are all dizzy.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
So bored. No one here to send me home early.
My boss is in some meeting about taxes. if he doesn't come back by the time I get back from lunch I'll text him to see if I can go home. Sue, I can ask him if you can go home too if you want.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
I've managed to work at least two hours on every day of my vacation except Christmas (and including today, of course)
My boss assigned me this week's articles, which can normally be returned the following Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday (though ideally they want them back as early as possible). But she said "Please start them immediately, because next week is my last week before vacation." And I get what she's saying -- she only has next week to wrap stuff up, but, seriously, your vacation is not my problem. But I want to help out, so I'm doing what I can, even though I have a deadline for my other client, too, which means I'll be working all weekend and then have nothing to do next week. Which would be okay, except for the part where I'd like to enjoy the weekend with my husband.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Shoot, my manager just came by to discuss something else and didn't mention leaving early today, and I didn't think to ask until after she'd walked away.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
Strix, I'm sorry. Did I meet Greer? I know I saw Cosmo and Gimlet.
Our office closes at 3 pm today, but I'm off until Monday. Going back to work will be difficult.

I am doing a very boring training, that is due by Friday--there was a "pretest" and I got 11/12, but still have to sit through the training. BOO!
Yay for Buffista get togethers and pictures!
I went to bed about 7PM last night (but I'd been up since 2AM), and thought maybe I'd get up early and get stuff done. Instead, woke with a headache and got up around the usual time. Did manage to go buy food for tonight at Trader Joe's prior to any madness there. Hoping i don't have lots of leftovers, though.
In theory we get let go two hours early today. In reality, I'm leaving at about 12:30 because I have an eye appointment. :)

Oh! Random question for the buffistas: So, my sister and BIL have a 3 year old (foster kid who may be eligible for adoption soon). And sister's BFF and I were in the car with sister and kiddo, and singing...and sang "Shake your booty" and my sister informed us that she does not want to use the word "booty" around the kiddo and it is not appropriate language. We were flabbergasted--obviously not trying to use actual foul language, but we didn't think of that as inappropriate, and both thought of it as a kid-friendly term for butt, but my sister thought the word has been overly sexualized and is not ok anymore. Thoughts? (I mean, obviously I'll do whatever she wants, when around her, but...just curious)

Sue, I can ask him if you can go home too if you want.
Please! And My coworker.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Alcide just walked past me. Real life is a good look on him. shame about the busted arm, though.
