What does admin leave mean?
I walk. I talk. I shop, I sneeze. I'm gonna be a fireman when the floods roll back. There's trees in the desert since you moved out. And I don't sleep on a bed of bones.

Means work is closed, no staff on site. I get paid, I don't have to charge it to vacation or sick or anything. Just 0 hours, full 8 hour pay.

I just looked up Drew Brees' bio. He's like the Mary Sue of quarterbacks.
Look up Fujita - there are a couple of Mary Sues on that team. I mean that in a good way. And I think the coach my be one too.
Seriously - I couldn't be happier at a Super Bowl outcome. If it had been the Pats instead of the Colts, I'd be happy that the Saints won, and that's something I thought I'd never say.
Of course, I never get tired of seeing Peyton Manning making that face when things go wrong. So that's a gift with purchase.

Oh wow. 3 city parking garages have gone free, first come first served.

Okay, so not like liberal leave. I'd take it as a day off, barring emergencies. Especially with the one you already stepped up for this weekend.

God, I could use a massage. And I say that having never had a professional one. I ache. Thank god for the swimming because I'd be in so much worse shape if I weren't in the shape I am now. I'm seriously stronger than I was this summer.

Okay, you need to do something about that.
Ooh, I have a Groupon for a massage at the pricy place in the lobby of my building. Should do something about that too.

I totally am using saturday as bargaining chip. They really haven't fleshed out the policy on admin leave for telecommuting. On friday, when admin leave started at 1 pm, they excluded telecommuters from taking it. But they haven't stated what happens on full day admin days. Technically, I should be off the hook, since I don't have a telework agreement, we just fudged friday, calling it an emergency. But I will monitor, as much as I am able.

I am leery of strangers touching me. I know. It's weird.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I have an appointment for a massage from a friend next Thursday. That's way weirder than a massage from a complete stranger, to me.
