Bah. Bah bah bah.

Happy Labor Day today. I’ve never belonged to a union and am not employed at the moment, but good on you! *thumbs up*

I went to see Rush Hour 3 tonight (shush) to get some of the icky details of my messy life out of my head, and it was really good. Plus? The popcorn was fresh and had just the right amount of salt and butter on it. That’s pretty royally fabulous, in my book.

Then, a nice dinner out with Phil before the kids came home, then the usual drill (and I mean DRILL, as in sergeant, as in rigid discipline, as in power tool to the head) of baths and bed ("But we didn’t get to eat! Dad only got us Jamba Juice!” Arrrrrghhh.).

And finally, in the quiet evening, I sat near the fan and played with the css and code of a site I’ve been making for my own amusement—perhaps you’ll see it here one day; it’s designed to dish up one random post per visit in a fun and snarky fashion, in case I decide to move to Pago Pago and don’t want to do the daily thing anymore. But I digress.

The mistake came in not shutting down completely after I got my header and backgrounds to line up and for all the parts to fit together flawlessly. I can work on the floats later. I should have walked away. But then I saw an email in my inbox and clicked.

GAH.

The one job tailor-made in heaven for me by perky little cherubim was filled by another candidate today, though they were so impressed with my resume that they want to keep me on file, if I don’t mind. Actually, I’d rather have a job, but sure, go ahead. File away.

And now I’m going to go read something until I fall unconscious.
