Giles, if you would like to get by in American society, then you are going to have to follow our traditions. You're the patriarch. You have to host the festivities, or it's all meaningless.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Nah, I just learned about it. Have not taken action yet! (And I was just thinking about everything I want to do after work today, which added up to.... about 45 minutes of house tasks, so obviously I'm not also going to do a 20 minute errand today!)

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Just had both today's and tomorrow's standing meetings canceled. That's the kind of Monday morning I like to see!

On the other hand, I wrote my self-eval! I half-wrote it on Friday and finished it now! I should wait and re-read it again later, but really I just want to send it off and be done.

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

I just booked a trip to San Francisco!

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I get it, Jesse. "A solution exists" is a valid announcement! Good job on the eval.

Nice, Matt!

ETA Woot, Scola in SF!

I too am full of don’t wanna.

everything I want to do after work today, which added up to.... about 45 minutes of house tasks, so obviously I'm not also going to do a 20 minute errand today

Hahhha. I totally hear this. There are various errands I have been putting off for a week or more because they somehow feel SO time consuming….they’d take at most an hour and probably less, and wtf am I doing with my time otherwise anyway? But no. I did manage to accomplish one because I realized there was a store near a friends house that I was going to on Saturday, so it was on the way.

I also have the don't wannas, but unfortunately my Monday meetings were not canceled.
