Go, Jesse! And yay, David!
(and commiserations with Volans' news)
Oh, I'm gonna go to the special hell.

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.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
That's actually pretty unsettling, Volans.

Ann, that's a ferret.
Interesting, Volans. Especially since we're taking advantage of the existing days off to visit San Diego. (I work a condensed schedule, which gives me every other Friday off -- including 1/13.)
Edit to Add: I've done a Google search. The Powers That Be are encouraging agencies to be flexible on telecommuting on those days, but I can't find anything on closing the government on those days.

Eeep, our licensing guy says his inside sources are saying that not only did our pitch go well, but that they want to Fast Track it. We'll officially know by the end of the week.
Every single fucking digit crossed and that is making my toes uncomfortable and also it is hard typing.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
DC always shuts down for Inauguration Day - no mail, public transit is on a holiday schedule (even though they tell everyone to use it rather than driving in), massive street closures, security all over the place. And, for those who do drive in, if they park anywhere that might be anywhere "near" (near being defined as somewhere a paranoid security person thinks might, possibly, somehow, come within several blocks of anyone associated with the administration, security, the police, etc.) the parade route, their cars can be towed away and parked someplace else ... with no notice of where. There's usually a spate of complaints afterwards from people who parked their cars someplace they were sure was OK and find them gone, report them stolen and later get whacked with massive fines for having been parked for extended periods of time in a non-legal parking place.

Pool is closed AGAIN. Universe is mocking me.
I guess this means I have time to go to Ace and fix my sink tonight.
Joy.

Or, you could stay home and rest, sara! Totally a legit option given the circumstances.

I love webcams on weather and traffic sites, I can get real-time updates on the status of tricky intersections on the way home during snowstorms.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Yay, David!
