Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Wow, have fun, Pix!
I feel like we should start a "my opinion, let me show you it" tumblr in the vein of "yo, is this this racist" and let people ask us stuff and we can just tell them what we think.
That would be amazing.
I am so tired of not sleeping through to my alarm! And it's not like I've gotten anything done in the extra half-hour at work, either. Dumb.

I slept hard last night, but not enough. And still I must get up and face the day. Does that seem right to you?
Have fun, Pix!
My fire drills never end with ice cream sandwiches. Then again, we only have one flight of stairs and most employees do not have to take them. But still, I'm going to mention the ice cream to our Safety, uh, Person next time I see him.

Also, Scola's link is very interesting, I might bring it up when I meet with my great-grand-boss in a couple of weeks.

My company does the annual review, ranking thing. It will be interesting to see how that evolves.
Last night's graduation ceremony for the Arapahoe Rescue Patrol was very nice. There were 13 members who graduated out, normally there are around 6. The chief had very nice words to say about CJ when it was his turn. Then after the graduates received their plaques, my co-chair and I were called up and given flowers and a goodie bag as thanks for all our time volunteering.
I didn't get a chance to look at my bag until I got home. I received 2 movie tickets to the theater around the corner, a set of bbq tools (my tools had gone poof after one of the team bbqs, and a small bottle of Jameson.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
My Opinion, Let Me Show You It is *brilliant.*

Nice, Suzi!
We don't do the ranking, at least not that I know of, but we do do a formal annual review and honestly it does not fit into our general corporate culture.

Comcast has not yet arrived in the guaranteed 7:30-8am window. I know you're all shocked.

So nice, Suzi!
We're in review season now, which is good times. At least we don't have ranking of any kind, or even any kind of numbers attached.

And now I'm waiting for the Comcast guy to find a parking space. 10 minutes late is better than I expected.
