I was up until 12:30 last night with work, so I took a goddamn sick day today and feel no guilt about it. Especially since I was sick this week (though mostly recovered today).
Love isn't brains, children, it's blood, blood screaming inside you to work its will.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

Ooh, I almost ragequit this morning! Because apparently although we're a 5-star Library Journal library in a major city, it would be fine to stop subscribing to the New York Times and Wall Street Journal.
I mean, I am all for modernity, but, standards, people!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
That is the correct call, Dana.
I've been thinking about how I'm just going to have to work a regular day on Tuesday, when we're closed, but the good news is, most of the work I've been doing this week is in service of a meeting that is Tuesday morning! So maybe I can just come in for part of the day.

Wait, you're closed but you have to work anyway? That bites.
I'm on a conference call for work about our jobs and it is....depressing. They're basically trying to outsource us to Bulgaria and Mexico. I mean, over the next few years. But still. They're desperately trying to spin it as a good thing ("no, your job will be EASIER!"), but everyone is pretty skeptical.

I guess technically jobs are easier once you no longer have to do them...

I don't understand how that would work for your job. Unless Bulgarians get special discount airfares.

I am lucky that I have a four day weekend, because I am so done in.

Dying here. The guys working on the water have been trading wisecracks all day. Now Other Guy just strolled past me singing "Dean in white satin....."

My company went to all HDHP (High Deductible...mumble, whatever) medical insurance for next year. They made us sit through a "Here's why it's awesome!" presentation. Which sounded like making excuses and bullshitting from where I was sitting, but maybe it was awesome from some other seats?
