My company doesn't let us roll over days anymore so use it or lose it.  But the policy is very pro "use it" so there's no real obstacles to take my days off unless I have scheduled work.  They are also giving us the last week of the year off, not part of my PTO. 

I have days currently schedule at the end of October because I was planning on seeing Judas Priest, but since that's not happening I am likely taking those back and putting them onto two different Fridays.  I kind of want to spend this Friday just vegging and playing the Battlefield beta so I may burn one day this week.  Then I'd still have 8 more days to burn on top of the already scheduled 3 other days I have in.  It's honestly a nice problem to have.  It's real great to work with a company that values your time away and promotes it.

Columbus was indigenous?

No, but for the past few decades there has been push to rename the holiday from Columbus day to Indigenous People day. It gained more momentum in recent years.

Holy crap. Had the first (phone) interview this morning for that Loss Prevention job with Amazon. I thought I bombed it.

A few hours later, an email comes in congratulating me to making to the next and final round, date to be determined.

I just don't understand what they were trying to achieve with any part of the song, either individually or as a whole. You know what? It's the Platypus of Dream Theater songs. That bill doesn't go with that tail, or that strange little furry body, or those webbed feet, and oh god why does it have venomous spurs!? And then you find out it lays eggs too. The difference is that the Platypus is somehow functional despite being a crazy mishmash or leftover animal pieces

DRUMEO are doing a Neil Peart tribute with a replica of his giant Time Machine kit I think...

I'm not a fan of Rush at all but that should be a fun video.

For all you RUSH and NEIL PEART fans...

Blast from the sort of past. Glad you are on your way to getting healthier, and that you made it through the difficult times and are on the way up. I am joining you on the improved health quest. I started in April and have made good progress. Here's to improving health all around.

Weird request.

Does anyone speak or understand Latin quite well? I want to write something and have it translated into Latin, and not through something like google translate. Anyone know anyone?

The one time I needed assistance with Latin to inscribe inside my wife's engagement ring, I called the local high school and asked to speak to the Latin teacher. She was happy to help me.

If not a Latin teacher, a Catholic priest.  Seriously.   Unless you're translating dirty limericks to your girlfriend...

Yeah, two years of Latin was mandatory at my high school. Don't remember any of it except for "baculum habet" (sp?) which translates to "I have the stick" and is what the drunk priest who taught us Latin 1 would yell at us when we were acting up.

Also a good idea. Hopefully he doesn't ask why I need it. Not sure a priest is gonna be too cool with a prog rock concept album about a gay catholic committing suicide and being told that god loves everyone. But maybe! Guess I gotta write the part in English first.

I got lucky and went to the one public high school that had a Hebrew teacher.

Unfortunately he was not a great teacher and I am pretty sure I learned nothing.
