Nilly, you have never offended me; I can't even imagine that happening. It's always good to see you here!
Strix, I am so furious on Micah's behalf, I want to find that hypocritical, cruel, selfish, thoughtless woman and... and
gently explain to her
why she is wrong. Repeatedly. With a
shovel.
M is going to be so very, very pissed. Which seems to be against the whole point of the holy day.
Good luck, Calli!
I hope that works out, Theo.
Hi, Nilly!
My To Do list is telling me to go out to lunch today, but I have yesterday's salad in the fridge. I may pick up a cheeseburger for dinner instead of going out to lunch, that seems like a reasonable compromise.
Zen, oh yes. My feelings exactly. And Connie, he's going to be rightfully pissed. But he's going to be really SAD, and that gets me the most.
Hey, it's October! The date son my filenames don't need a leading zero on the months!
It's the little things.
There are protests going on at the University of Georgia, because homecoming is on Yom Kippur.
From the statement from the university:
The president already has directed his staff and the athletics department to inventory important holidays like Yom Kippur and to place them on the calendar several years out to help us avoid such a conflict in the future. Important holidays, such as Yom Kippur, are highlighted on the university's master calendar so that all can be aware of these dates when scheduling events.
That's right. From now on, they're going to use a calendar.
inventory important holidays
AKA, "read the fucking calendar there are Jewish people in Georgia YOU ASS."
That's right. From now on, they're going to use a calendar.
AMAZING!
I have to confess, my organization has an event this Friday night, scheduled last-minute, in conjunction with other organizations.
I am trying to work out how to justify going to the Art Wine and Chocolate Festival on Saturday rather than fasting. It'll probably just be something I will have to remember to be sorry about next year when the High Holidays look more convenient for me.
ETA in fact, I can put that on my calendar. Thanks for the tip, University of Georgia!
