TV and Veteran's Day

Last night I watched 3.5 hours of TV. Three and a half! It started out gloriously, but by the time I went to bed, I felt sort of disoriented and had a bit of a headache. Oh well... In case you did not watch TV until your eyeballs fell out last night, here's how it went: teen angst on the OC continues as usual, more people got fired on The Apprentice, and more people died on ER. At least I got some emails written and other miscellaneous things accomplished while I was parked in front of the tube... having a laptop is nice.

I'm mildly annoyed that I had to come to work today. It seems everyone in the world has Veteran's Day off, except us. Okay, maybe I'm exaggerating a little, but it's a federal holiday! I guess this is one of those reasons that people work for the government...

Yeah, it's nice having today off.

Of course, I'm being an overachiever and am putting in 4 hours today so some JPL people can do some work using it this afternoon.

And I seem to remember working last Veteran's Day, although I was really, really annoyed about it.

I would like to point out that Gavin was only at work, because, like he said, he is an overachiever. Have no sympathy for him.
