Well, my worksite is closed. But I have to take a vacation day because my employer (I'm on a subcontract) doesn't observe it (I get to float the holiday, but not until april. Bullshit beancounter crap.) Oh wait, excuse me, they observe it as a "day of service to honor MLK's legacy." By which they mean, service to them. It's so tin-eared I began ranting loudly when I saw the email.
Zoe: We're getting him back. Jayne: What are we gonna do, clone him?

Oh, modern life.
I just emailed my sister asking for a recipe for a kale salad she made for me once. She sent me a link to a blog, which had sourced the recipe from another blog, which had sourced the recipe from a cookbook which I own. So that was a pointful wander through the internet.
meara, I can't imagine getting through the winter without those two long weekends! That's so evil!

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
msbelle, there was no injera link? I don't think we have an Ethiopian place here, and even if we do, I know I'd be too shy to ask them about it!
Scrappy, motorcycle trip through the desert, woo! You've passed some sort of coolness rite of passage now, I'm sure.

meara, that sucks. I complain mightily about Canada's lack of long weekends between Xmas and Easter, but MAY? Ridiculous.
We were out of Feliway (the cat pheromone) for about a week. Any doubts about it having an effect are gone because Oz was a massive asshole without it, and is much better only 3 days into having it again. However, it does not stop the cats from waking me up early.

smonster, i do have Susan's FB, and actually, she writes for the publisher I work for!!
But I have been a week off of FB, and I am scared I will interrupt my groove of work-til-I-die tonight if I go there.
Trust me, that was my first thought, she she specialized in Napoleonic, and I WILL be hitting her up soon for references. And silly me, I thought 3 shelves of reference books was enought for copyediting!
Back to work. Please send hot decaf apricot tea.

Sox, I'm cofax7 on both LJ and DW. I post linkspam, mostly: I don't have access during the workday, so I can't have long discussions anymore.

My new office gets MLK, Memorial Day, 4th of July, Labor Day, Tgivng (and the Friday after) and Christmas. That's it. Coming from the land of the Fed (ah, Columbus Day), it gonna suck.
