I need a clean-up/catch-up day at work. I have a million loose ends that could probably be tied up fairly quickly if I'd just take a few minutes to do them. What I need is for nobody else to come up in this mug tomorrow; then I'd turn my phone off, put on some Descendents, and knock a few o' these things out. I wonder if people would buy it if I sent out a presswide email saying that everyone has the day off tomorrow. It would probably work if not for a couple of low types who would undoubtedly blow the whistle on the operation by reminding everyone that they would have to take personal days in order to get the day off. Sucker-ass perpetrators.

I even decided against taking a sick day to sleep in today because I have too much stuff to do here. How sad is that? I can't even slack right these days.

And I know that I shouldn't complain about the weather, because I know that my upstate-NY and Canada folks have it worse, but 17 degrees F? With a windchill of 3? Damn, dude. My hair even froze this morning. I haven't had that happen in years.

i have no concept, no idea, no inkling of what anything below 40 degrees really feels like.

and windchill? that just baffles me. i mean -- everyone knows it's colder when the wind blows so why have like two temperatures to rub it in?

;) you need to come to california -- sunny and 65 in los angeles. and it's even warmer in the malls! :O

If there's anything I need, it's some fun balls. :)

I'm so disillusioned about this weather! I made it through my first winter in the northeast last year with no problems (other than that it was just too freakin' LONG), but already I can tell that this is going to be quite a different beast. I think I'm gonna have to take your recommendation and head west. Y'all publish books out there, right? Or maybe I could write copy for the thriving California adult-entertainment industry.

I'm toying with the idea of a national holiday called "Shut the Hell Up Day". Ideally, everyone would stay at home. If people do go out, they're not allowed to say anything or make unnecessary noise. :)

That sounds good! Everyone could wear black, and it would be like St. Patrick's Day--if you saw someone not wearing black, you'd get to slap the mess out of 'em. :)

Say it isn't so!!!

I know, I know, but all my good ornaments are at my Mom's place, and I can't handle a tree with generic ornaments. Plus, I'm having Christmas down south, and I never feel right going off and leaving a tree to sit around over Christmas. I might get one of those little rosemary trees if I can find one, though.
