You can turn off the heat now.

No. Really.

Ugh.

I don't mind it being warm. I do mind it not getting below 70 until sometime after midnight.

Blarg.

Stuff, stuff, stuff.... Blah, blah, blah.

Lame... So lame.

My lead Ryan's last day is today. I am sad about this as Ryan is the first person I've really felt was a friend here at work. There are other people I talk to and there is another person who I'm becoming friends with, but Ryan and I have tons in common. We talk about Star Wars and comic books and LotR and stuff. We send each other preview and movie links and lots of stuff.

He's going back to California and getting married. We're going to have a lunch for him today.

I am going to miss him.

Because the reults are pretty funny, really...

"Katrina is..."
..Tropical Depression 15 (TD 15) with maximum sustained winds of 35 mph.
..Country, heart and soul.
..a resident of the Albany landfill.
..twenty-seven, working at an advertising job she hates and dealing with her mother's...
..a daughter of a very different place.
..so furious, she fights the trio single-handed, until Warren cracks her head with a bottle of bubbly.

And my favorite...
In addition to being a faculty member of Stillpoint School of Advanced Energy Healing and a Certified Medical Intuitive, Katrina is also certified as a master...

Wow.

This is really interesting.

I will admit that I didn't say the pledge of allegance in high school due to the "God" in it. I felt that patriotism and religion shouldn't have to be together like that. I also didn't say the "God" part of the Girl Scout pledge when I was one, because I felt that it was saying that I had to believe in God in ways that I didn't in order to be a good person.

Very interesting.

"The court noted that the U.S. Supreme Court has said students cannot hold religious invocations at graduations and cannot be compelled to recite the pledge. But when the pledge is recited in a classroom, a student who objects is confronted with an "unacceptable choice between participating and protesting," the appeals court said.

"Although students cannot be forced to participate in recitation of the pledge, the school district is nonetheless conveying a message of state endorsement of a religious belief when it requires public school teachers to recite, and lead the recitation of, the current form of the pledge," the court said."
