Extra hours and extra pay which is good since my job ends on 9/30. The bad part is I'll be outside in the cold and probable rain and maybe even snow. Got drenched today and caught a chill so I'm not too thrilled about that part.

GIs loved being able to call home in the days when when our communications were mostly limited to snail mail.

If you could get to a MARS tent, you had to get in a long line.

When I worked for the federal government I was doing a job I loved and did long office hours and took work home every night. Sometimes got paid overtime or accrued comp time, but I didn't care.

Doing the work meant something, paid or not.

that doesn't recognize any American holidays, and not a lot of Japanese holidays for that matter (e.g. no Golden Week off)

...with our older son, helping him and his roommate pack up their apartment in preparation for tomorrow's move to a new one.

I wa an extra-good mom and broke into a sweat cleaning their disgusting bathtub. It looked gray, but was actually back to its true color of white by the time I was finished! I was dripping sweat by then.
