I was supposed to go to my SIL's house for her hubby's birthday, but my dog has been so freaked out by thunderstorms and people playing with fireworks that I can't leave her. Zoe may be 75 pounds and fierce looking, but if she hears a boom she is shaking in my lap. We live close enough to the beach that it will be very boomy. I love it, but I won't be able to go out and watch unless DH and I take turns cuddling with her.
Wesley: Hey. Hey, Gunn. Is something weird going on? … Charles, you just peed on my shoes. Gunn: I'll be damned. That's weird.

So I'm working today, given the exigencies of 24-hour tech support, and it's known that if things are slow enough you have a chance of being sent home early. However, I also know that, like Fight Club, you do not ask about going home early. The on-duty supervisor just wandered over to my desk, which is next to the other guy who's got the end-of-the-day shift, to tell us about a guy who just went to his office, to quote the supervisor, "whine" about people getting to go home early. Apparently there's a thing he wants to go to. Supervisor asked if we would be annoyed if he successfully whined into going home, and we said no.
So yay, points to me for nobly not hinting that I'd like to go home (though I'd really like to) and for the other guy making himself known as someone who asks for goodies. Pettiness, thy name is office maneuverings.

Not Billytea. But as I understand it you are fined modestly for not voting. I presume the bill is mailed to you the way it is when running a red light is captured by a traffic camera in the USA. Also if you wish to not vote as a matter of principle, you can cast a blank or spoiled ballot. You only get fined for not showing up. Dunno what they do if you get sick or trapped in a collapsed tunnel or something at the last moment.

She is in my hood. I miss living near a pile of Buffistae. I need my impending raise to be enough to cover travel. So many places I want to go and people I want to visit.

Good that you were able to get together. I need to get out and about more often, and more people need to visit Florida.
