Reading about the refugee influx to Italy and Greece this year. 170k to Italy and 160k to Greece. More ppl moved into Texas than that this year, Over 400k this year. I know it is apples and oranges. Refugees come with nothing, need a ton of resources and aid. Still it pisses me off that TX fought refugees coming to the state when clearly we are taking in massive population influxes.

Also, the population of Greece is about 11 million; Texas is 27 million. Texas is also 5 times larger than Greece in terms of square mileage.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
So in addition to receiving gifts, I have done some housework and grocery shopped, and now it's raining so I can feel secure staying on the couch for the rest of the day.

Oh right. All that.
I did not mean to minimize the impact on them, more criticize our asshole Gov for fighting against a few hundred.

I worked from home today and cleared up the last things I could clear for 2016. I found out I have Monday off--for some reason I thought the office was open. So that was a nice surprise.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
criticize away, msbelle
I just looked at how much work (as in for my job) I need to do in the next week and a half before I leave for Philadelphia and I may need to go hyperventilate somewhere. Ugh.

So much for vacation. I mean, I guess I shouldn't complain that my 3 weeks between semesters isn't really weeks off. That would be a loooong vacation.

I've been working from home this week. Work is super dead, so I really should devote some time to documentation and proposals or what have you, but instead I've been doing homework to finish up my Stanford class, which I have to finish by Jan. 2nd. I'm on the last module before the final exam. After today, I'm off for 5 days, so of course I woke up with a sore throat.

Huh. There is a "Sierra Club Singles" midnight hike on NYE that starts at Sur la Table in the Ferry Building. Blowing my mind a little.
