MysticWicks endorsement: "I've always, always regarded the Discordians as being people who chose to be Discordians because they can't be arsed to actually do any work to develop a relationship with a specific deity, they were too wishy-washy to choose just one path, and they just want to be a mishmash of everything and not have to work at learning about rituals or traditions or any such thing as that."

Cainad (dec.)

Wake up at 4:30 am. Consume magical fizzy elixir of life* and hike across the Siberian Tundra that lies between my front door and my car.

Arrive early at job site in Manhattan after 1.5 hour drive. It is 3° F, or -16C, and it's an outdoor site. No one around. Sit in car to kill time, eventually someone lets me in. Luckily, there's a heated trailer office to wait in.

2 hours later, word finally comes through that the trucks needed to work today are fucking frozen like goddamn woolly mammoths. Get sent home, consoled by fact that I'm getting paid anyway, plus pay for the holiday. Parking ticket negates monetary gains of working on holiday.

You bet your ass I'm leaving early every day this week. The Law of SLACKTM requires that, for every action, there is an equal and opposite FUCK YOU.

Sorry, I've just heard a little too much "fuck those bloodthirsty savages" lately and I'm starting to get a little sensitive about it. I know it's cool to be against whatever those other people are for, but maybe we could have a little less genocide-justifying manifest-destiny bullshit in with it.

For what it's worth, I was only yanking some weirdo's leg.

Oh I know! No worries there. But there's some sort of meme drifting around Facebook that the natives deserved it, and it's alarming me because I think a fair number of people believe it.

Everyone deserves it.  Except US.  THOSE fucking guys, THEY have it COMING.

This is AMERICA.

Every man Jack of them!

So, despite having had no sleep, and one less member of staff than any other shift in the past three days, I've discovered a number of discrepancies in the last few days.

Not of anything important though, just the number of actual students present in the building.

So more, or less?

I'm not sure which of those possibilities is more disturbing.

I'd put money on more. It's London, if there's one kid who's halfway savvy he'll have his room rented out to 8 people for great rewards.

More, but because it's half-term, and most of them should have been away, according to the handover notes we were given.

Fortunately, our set up here, where members of staff are sitting on the door 24/7, mostly militates against the worst student behaviour, but then you have to ask how were students in the building and not recorded if someone is always at the reception?

I mean one or two, maybe.  But this was six, plus inaccuracies in the other students in the building who we are not responsible for (except in a very general landlord-tenant way).

Got minimal but sufficient sleep.  Sorry to hear you've been run so ragged Cain. Hang in there sir!

Just not feeling right yet myself. Wondering if I'm getting into a manic phase. Sleep is usually the first thing to go and then the sleep dep catches up and makes the mania worse in that my running mind keeps running but gets incoherent.

I have regimens to help, but I may be a bit scarce here for a bit while I reset.

I  think I rocked my genetics exam, but I probably won't know until tomorrow.

I should really be entering grades right now, or going to the post office, or going to the store, or changing the catboxes.

But I'm not.

Oh or reading 4 articles and writing summaries and criticisms.

Also I seem to be having a bromance with a 28-year-old in two of my neuro classes. We're totally just friends, but we text each other like we're dating.

So, I just found out the source of all that bullshit about Jesus being 100% identical to Horus and Dionysus and Mithras and practically every other deity in every single culture in history. Fucking Zeitgeist the Movie. Jesus fucking Christ (no pun intended) is that really where all this fucking patent nonsense is really coming from in the unskeptical atheist community? It's NWO nutbaggery.

When you get thoroughly debunked by a biblical literalist, you're doing some higher level idiocy.

I went to the post office and the store (I now have almost everything I need for my trip, except for a duffel bag and a stupid hat) and when I came home, grades were posted. It bumps me up from a borderline A to a solid A, so that tells me that my current level of studying is perfect.

Now I will change the cat boxes, make dinner, and drink a beer while logging grades while dinner cooks.

I AM DOING IT YOU GUYS.
