Good Friday Could be great

They call it Good Friday, though for the person who started it - I doubt it was enjoyable. Nowadays, much like Christmas, Good Friday is looked on by many as a perfect day to sleep off the festivities from the night before. Well, except for me, and the rest of my ill-fated crew. Residing in one of the most Catholicism-dense cities this side of the vatican gives us no respite from the perils of the 8 hour workday. I'd call my clients and chat about it - but - they belong to the first group I spoke about. Thank Mac for iTunes. I'll sit here and chill and think about how this could be a great Friday if only I too were in bed.

No resume, Tom. Only thing you attach is fiction. Bring something else to the table, and we'll be there for you, boyo. Rather looking forward to your fiction writing. YOu seem like you've got a creative mind for it. Show us something other than negative thoughts that are unbased, and we'll love you.

To Whomever, Thanks for the compliment. Everything is funny. A tsunami, a guy named Kevin, a pencil I despise advertising politics and that all-too-familiar Prozac pose tossed around at cocktail parties. I freelance because I enjoy thinking of ideas and it helps support my fiction writing habit. I’ve attached my resume in case you want to take a chance. Sincerely sincere, -tom

Man, any holiday jacks with a freelancer. Most of my clients had the day off. So they pretty much jack around all week instead of calling me with work. I did shoot some skeet today in honor of jesus getting his first tooth or whatever.

So basically you can have Lent starting on Easter, after Lent is over? Man, that's going to suck. No meat on Fridays for the rest of the year!

But now that I think of it, that's kinda screwy. We're not supposed to eat meat of Fridays during Lent, and the Sabbath is on Sunday. According to the Bible, the Sabbath is actually Saturday. So does that mean we screwed up, and we were supposed to not be eating meat on Thursdays?!?

I gave up lent for lent, so I'm really glad its almost easter, so I can go back to denying myself things I Iike. Hmmm - somehow I think I got that wrong... /pours another glass of County Antrim's finest/

Todd - I guess it will kill you to know that my girls and I are decorating Easter eggs right now... well... I'm taking a "webby break"...

I know the feeling Todd - the most difficult thing I do every Monday through Friday is not spend every minute with my children.

My wife brought my 14 month-old daughter to come see me for lunch today – she had the day off and I didn’t. We had such a great time eating, played in the flowers a bit, then as they were leaving and I was going into my building my daughter stretched out her arms to me and said “DADEE! DADEE!” I almost quit on the spot.

I am not so sure that its work so much as maintaining a presence in my office. I guess I could leave, but my chair would get cold.

Some of us have no choice but to work! :-)

If you're working, and nobody else is working, why are you working??? And Michael you're dead meat if you don't make it next FRIDAY! Two Adhole parties in one week - I knew you were p-a-r-t-e!

I'm working a half day because this skeleton crew bit is for the birds! I used to give up stuff for lent... this day marked the countdown to whatever it was that I gave up. My roomie gave up chocolate for years... she was such a bitch though... it was worse than her giving up alcohol. Happy Good Friday and hope the iTunes keep you going!

I LOVE GOOD FRIDAY! Being a Catholic, this is a real exciting holiday. I mean, Good Friday marks the day that Jesus was buried in the tomb (which doesn't seem good, but hang on).

Anyhoo, he stays in the tomb for 3 days. Then, a couple of days later, on Easter, he comes out! And, if he sees his shadow, there's 40 more days of Lent. Man, I hope he doesn't see his shadow on Sunday. I wanna eat pepperoni pizza on Fridays!
