Public Budgeting might be evil

So I got up this morning, made a pot of coffee and some banana nut muffins and sat down to what will be my final day of studying for comprehensive exams. I've been attacking the material with the fervor of a zealot for about five days and hopefully my ability to cognitively retain information will pay off tomorrow morning, 9 am. I hope, I hope, I hope...

In the meantime, I've managed to bathe every day and have left the house and/or called a friend/family member at least once a day so I don't emerge Friday looking like this (click if you dare).

It looked for a minute there on Monday like I might have to go into work (um, yeah, really, don't ask) but fortunately my boss rained down positional authority (thank you boss man) and the ridiculousness, um, I mean situation was averted. I had forgotten what it was like to have someone back you up. It's been a long time...I'm gonna have to thank the boss man. I believe these are those moments that if you don't stop and just remember to be grateful you lose out in life. Or you win but you're an insufferable prick and have to live out your life knowing that it's only you man, you have no back up and no one cares if you fail. Because they hate you because you're an insufferable prick.

My brain's fried...

Anyway, when I got up this morning I watched The Most on the History Channel which only comes on very early in the morning and is hosted by a very handsome man, Mike Rowe. He hosts Dirty Jobs, too. What a fox! (trying to bring that word back). It's the smart/funny thing, I'm telling ya. I'm just a sucker for it. In any event, this was one of the segments. Pretty much goes to show you why Communism is stupid (read the entry and you'll see what I mean, i.e. why it took so long to complete).

And here's some Mike Rowe from Dirty Jobs. mmmmmmm......


I digress. Wish me luck.
