Well, it’s been nice knowing you all, but this is it – the end of the world. I’m not sure if there’s a set time for it to happen (like, midnight or something), or if it’s going to happen all at once, or be kind of a rolling thing across the Earth. I guess it kind of depends on whether we get hit by Planet X (which those incompetent fools at NASA have still failed to see) or there’s a pole shift or a violent solar storm or, I dunno, maybe a plague that kills everybody who doesn’t smear lamb’s blood on their front door. Either way, I guess this will be our last day together. Or not.<\/p>\n
The day certainly started out the way you’d expect an apocalypse type of day to start. At least up here. Very heavy rain came through, and the temperature is such that it was a mix of rain and wet snow, so the roads were pretty slushy. And very, very dark. Then I got stuck behind some putz going 40 mph the whole way in. Once I got to work, I found that my computer had been updated over night, which means I had to log in again, and, ever since they installed a Zenworks upgrade a while back that means it takes, literally, about 30 minutes before I can start using my computer. Very annoying.<\/p>\n
Good thing I didn’t have any Xmas shopping to do.<\/p>\n
One person who probably wishes this really was<\/em><\/strong> Armageddon is John Boehner, who couldn’t even get his House Republicans to back his “Plan B” (told ya you shoulda called it Plan 9). So now they’re doing what responsible public servants do in the face of the devastation to the US (and world) economy should we plunge into the pecuniary precipice: they’re going on break until after Christmas. <\/p>\n I really hope Obama isn’t going to take this opportunity to cave in on more cuts to Social Security or something. <\/p>\n Oh well, I suppose I’d better get some work done, just in case the world doesn’t end today. <\/p>\n Stay safe out there, and let us know if you see any signs of the Rapture or something.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Well, it’s been nice knowing you all, but this is it – the end of the world.
