What would I do with my time if there was no web?
That is a question I ask myself frequently. I would get a lot more done, that's for sure.
Most people is pretty quiet right about now. Me, I see a stiff -- one I didn't have to kill myself -- I just get, the urge to, you know, do stuff. Like work out, run around, maybe get some trim if there's a willin' woman about... not that I get flush from corpses or anything. I ain't crazy.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Yeah, I don't know. I guess spend more time bullshitting with coworkers, but that looks so much less like working!
I need a tumblr of my own, I think -- I want to subscribe to things that aren't Good Stuff.

No Veteran's Day off for me, but I'm taking my birthday (11/12) as a vacation day so I do get a long weekend.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
I post this here mostly for Jesse, who is one of many that shares my absolute LOVE and ADORATION of all music things from the 90's: [link]
I'm not even sure WHY that popped into my head today, but there ya go. You are welcome.

Ann, that's a ferret.
I have tomorrow off and work the day after Thsnksgiving.
I'm kind of weird. I actually like working the day after Thanksgiving. Traffic is near zero. Nobody's around and nobody's going to call. Which means it's the perfect chance to get lots and lots of things done. Or, if I don't, who's going to notice?
And I can save the annual leave for a day when traffic is typically crazy.

And what's with all the carrots?
Erin, I do HR if you would like me to look your resume over. You have me on fb.
Our company provides service to state and county governments..all who will be closed tomorrow. We will be open. I hope they at least bring in cake or something.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
Last year I worked from home on Thanksgiving and, aside from the time spent spraining the hell out of my ankle, on the Friday and weekend afterward. We had a huge project at work that was supposed to be completed Dec. 1. It was my first Thanksgiving without either of my parents, so I figured drowning it in a ton of work was a good way to adjust.

I used to have SUCH a crush on the lead singer. I think the way he flung his hair really turned my 16-year-old self on.

This is me for the two working days between Christmas and New Year's - it's so relaxing to finally be able to get shit DONE!
