Apparently I won't have to move to Canada after all. According to this map, I already live there!

So. Over. It.

That's where I'm at today with work and this job. I'm over it. Can you believe that they're playing "Pin the Tail on the Donkey" in the break room right now? It's part of the Cinco de Mayo "fiesta" they're having. Maybe I'll go grab a virgin margarita, take it out back and spike it. That will make getting through today easier. Why are weekends so short? We're 1/3 done with the run of Shoestring and I haven't cried yet. I'll probably lose it at the cast party. Man, I hate it when they do events at work with free food. People always encourage you to eat. I never want to. Cheesy office events drvive me nuts. They feel so forced. We had a Superbowl "party" and a March Madness "shootout." I quote these simply to highlight the ultimate cheese factor and fakenosity of it all. It's Friday. I'll make up words if I want to, dammit. Oh well, the new job search continues. I think I'll take lunch early. ROTF...

More airport shenanigans...

I have a love/hate relationship with air travel, as most people do nowadays. It's bad enough that I got violated on my airfare because I had to fly on short notice (nearly twice as much as I would have paid if I bought my ticket an extra week in advance). But has anyone else experienced the same type of wretchedness that comes with flying today? In the 2 years after 9/11 that I had to travel by air, I was "randomly searched" by airport security on nearly half of my flights - the locations of such occurences were the following: -Kansas City -St. Louis (on the connecting flight from KCI to LaGuardia) -Ft. Lauderdale -London Honestly...the only one that made sense was London. And that was the most blatant example of racial profiling that I had been subjected to - only brown people were pulled aside before getting on that plane. After the searches died down (have not been subjected to one since London), I then had to deal with delays. The one (and only) time I flew out of Phi...

Speaking of regularly scheduled programming...

...seems like the Supreme Court took advantage of the Va. Tech tragedy to make their official decision on "partial-birth abortions." (I use quotation because there is no such medical term as a partial-birth abortion. It was penned by the anti-abortionists.) The procedure has been officially banned, and there is no allowance for an instance where the procedure would be medically necessary. I am pissed. Honestly, people need to realize that the government should not be dictating what I can choose to do to my body. The decisions I make should be my own, and between me and my doctor (and my family, when applicable). Some right-wing, red state, Confederate-flying redneck from West Bumblefuck does not get to tell me whether or not I can have an abortion. They can disagree with it. By all means, call me whatever you want, but you don't get to make the decision, and you shouldn't influence the people who make the the laws that control that decision. For a while I had been jok...
