I'm Home

Sorry for the delay. I've been home for almost two weeks now. I've seen...two of my friends. (To be fair, I've actually ran into four, but Lili and David work at Starbucks, and I didn't get to exchange more than a "Hey" with them). I've hung out with the bothers more than anyone else, what's up with that?

Seriously, where are the rest of you guys? I know of at least one person who's currently in another hemisphere, she has an excuse.
Eh, whatever. I'll let it slide for now.

So yea, I'm back at work, 8-4. Actually, I'll be 9-4 this coming week; I was informed that "there was no need for me to come in at 8" except to basically grant me a pay cut. Thanks Miles, you gave me a 10% raise but cut my hours 14%, I think there's a perfectly good reason for me to be in at 8. Heck, I even do things 8-10, before you choose to show up. Lee, Sue and I talk about projects and plans and review meetings and everything before we get 'busy' during the day. I'm pretty sure I'll find a reason to be back at work at 8am for most of the rest of the summer.

On a different note, I know of someone who'd like to weigh in on the whole gay-marriage amendment issue:
"One method of assault may be to effect, in the forms of the Constitution, alterations which will impair the energy of the system, and thus to undermine what cannot be directly overthrown. In all the changes to which you may be invited, remember that time and habit are at least as necessary to fix the true character of governments as of other human institutions; that experience is the surest standard by which to test the real tendency of the existing constitution of a country;"

That, my friends, George Washington, urging all future Americans not to rush to amend the Constitution in an effort to change human institutions.

That is all.
If you'd like to hear more about what I'm up to, you'll have to talk to me yourself.
