People with 'real' jobs with benefits and stuff get about that. I don't have a 'real' job. I don't have paid vacations or sick days or health insurance or anything. (Well, not health insurance through work, I'm covered by the University via The Boy™.) I've never had a job that had benefits.

sorry, I didn't mean to go on about it. Do we get to eat lots of food as it's Independence Day? Or is that the other one? ____________________________________________________ tiny ball of rage. hilarious, condensed rage - Snazz I never really lost my virginity... it just sort of eventually wore off - Chris Addison Um...

Eh. Doesn't matter. I'm used to it.
It's America, Domi. We don't need any excuse to eat lots of food.  The 4th is usually centered around picnics/BBQs and fireworks. ******************************** The only really sane person in there is Igor, and possibly the turnip. And I'm not so sure about the turnip. ~~ Terry Pratchett |

Independence Day is usually the following:
Beer Food cooked over an open fire Explosives More Beer (or other alcohol) Yes, this is a GOOD combination. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Discordian Priestess, Keeper of the Golden Pine-Apple. "You are a Woodmonger. When people want something hot, they seek you out. Why, you've given the entire township wood. It's valuable stuff. Wood, that is. Brown gold. Texas timber. Environmentalists may worry that you're contributing to global burning, but really, what are the alternatives? Using the liquefied remains of prehistoric organisms? That's just crazy talk!"-Royko  blog or not |

The lake about 3 miles from my house has a huge concert (usually oldies and country/bluegrass type stuff) and fireworks display on the fourth. We have a big group with lots of kids going down there tonight after I get off work.
Domi, there is no mandatory vacation. I have a rant, but I'll save it. Thanks to Bill Clinton we now have the Family and Medical Leave Act, so at least we can't be fired now for having to take time off for a prolonged sickness or taking care of close relatives. (but you only get 12 weeks, and they dont' have to pay you). ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Discordian Priestess, Keeper of the Golden Pine-Apple. "You are a Woodmonger.

If we tied a big rope round America we could pull it into the EU!

Hm. Must be a southern thing, Mark. I've never heard of that.
Being the 4th, though, I want a hotdog. It's the only time of year that I actually desire hotdogs (real ones, not veggie ones. Every once in a while I want a veggie hotdog.) ******************************** The only really sane person in there is Igor, and possibly the turnip.
