Bleeeeh damn coworkers making jokes about being "poor" when they get to spend fall break at the goddamn beach. I want the beach. I want anywhere but here.
 
Ramada offers an employee rate at Wyndham properties. I should see if they also have a "friends and family" rate, too.

I had an NYC vacation at an $8.15 an hour wage. No reason you can't do just as well or better... with a little inside help. :)

(I'm not back at work until Sunday night. No way I'm going anywhere near the place on WVU Homecoming weekend. :p)
 
Just ended a whole week of vacation.
Had enough free time to play video games for all of 3-4hrs during that whole 7-day period.
This is why I don't get to watch movies.

Finished new build for Cranky (details forthcoming).
Accidentally installed as Legacy BIOS instead of UEFI and didn't discover until after he'd loaded most of his stuff.
Then did it again* (but caught this one before the loading commenced).
Third time's the charm...

*Thanks, ASUS, for working really hard to make sure people trying to install Win7 won't fail, even if it means extra work for people who do know what they're doing.

Cats don't need computers
 
@PatrThom it's because I always thought Cranky was a cat, because you only rarely mention that name, but never who it is (you probably did at some point, but I certainly don't remember or didn't see it)
 
Oh good, my mom is now complaining that America is not America anymore because my kids had to go school on Columbus Day. :facepalm:

Is she aware he's not an American hero? Or American? Or anything closely resembling a hero?
Hey, we never get St. Patrick's Day off, so whatever, Columbus complainers.

Basically, Columbus Day exists for two reasons:

- A bunch of Catholics thought kids needed a positive Catholic role model, so they lobbied Congress and picked this guy.
- The banks wanted another bank holiday.

More specifically, the Knights of Columbus were looking for an Italian-Catholic role model for little Italian kids to look up to.
They should have tried harder.
