Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Not supposed to be at work. At work. Getting double pay does not make it worth it.

I'm at work even though I'm on vacation, and I'm not getting double pay either. Someone who knows I'm on vacation just asked me to do something for her. grump whine And of course I did it. My only comfort is that my boss is also "on vacation", and I've been getting emails from her all morning, so she's working too. Next year, I swear, I'm not waiting until December to take all my vacation days in a lump lest I lose them. (I make this vow every December, you know.)

It all feels like such a game.

It's all such a BS game.

But! I have a good job, and a nice new floor, and I've started losing weight again, and I'm going to see Star Wars Friday with a bunch of cool folks and it's free, and I'm going to London with my BF in a couple weeks, and life is pretty good. So. Gratitude not grumpiness.

Ah, crap, I've got to finish the Christmas stuff today.

oh I would be getting double pay, but I left at noon and I will change it to a half day vacation and probably take another half day next week.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Maybe this is weird, but I've been keeping an eye out for Ginger's obit. Looks like it was published today.

Thanks Dana. I'm glad to see Mr. Peabody and Buffy were both mentioned.

Thanks for linking to that, Dana.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

Thanks for the link, even though for a moment I was puzzling at the idea of an obit. Why would Ginger need an obit. Oh. Yeah. Right.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Thanks, Dana. That made me cry but also think about how Ginger would probably be annoyed by the "courageous battle" part.

I did an annoying amount of work on a vacation day yesterday, but at least it was visible to higher-ups?

Not weird, Dana, I have been checking for it every day.
