It's been a while, but I don't remember a coffin and urn section
I mean, an urn is a container!
Spike: We got a history, him and me. Fred: What? Spike: It was a long time ago. He was a young Watcher, fresh out of the academy when we crossed paths. It was a, what-you-call battle of wills and blood was spilled. Vendettas were sworn. It was a whole-- Fred: My God you're so full of crap. Spike: Yeah. Okay.

Natter 77: I miss my friends. I miss my enemies. I miss the people I talked to every day.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Usually when I think of New Year's Steve I think of Steve Rogers, but this year maybe Steve Trevor?
Juneteenth will be a Saturday, are y'all getting Juneteenth (observed) off? That seems more momentous, somehow.

I need a gif from The Big Lebowski mentioning modestly priced receptacles and somehow working in The Container Store now

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
I'm watching cooking shows and drinking tea while watching ltc cycle between dressing up like a princess, running around with a sword and shield, playing with her new pink haired doll, and playing with her new robot dinosaur that roars. It's delightful!

Work gave us day after T'Day and Christmas Eve as extra days off...
EXTRA days off? Don't most people who work in offices get those as a matter of course? I know retail made a big deal out of Black Friday (up until this year, anyway), but I didn't think that was a thing for most white collar jobs, and around here everything but convenience stores and pharmacies are closed on Dec. 24th.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I haven't had either off. I do get the federal days that I haven't had in other jobs, like MLK.

We get the day after Thanksgiving off but our warehouse is open. We don't usually get Xmas eve off but we do get Dec 26th. We also get Good Friday off which still seems weird to me.
No changes to our holiday schedule for 2021. I am kind of looking forward to our annual Winter Party that is usually the Friday before MLK day not happening (I assume, they haven't actually said but it can't possibly happen as it usually does and if they want to do some sort of Zoom thing I am definitely not attending) because that always made the long weekend feel shorter.
I am fulfilling one of my least favorite roles, human mail merge. Bah.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Typically my job gives the day after Thanksgiving and a half-day for Christmas Eve. (But then we're off until after New Year's.)

I look more rad than Lutheranism
I miss the weird inappropriateness of my old job giving us the National Day of Prayer off. (Actually, although I really like freelancing, I do miss paid time off in general.)

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I’m off from the 19th all the way to the 4th. I only get paid for three of those days, though.
