Deftones - Be Quiet And Drive (Far Away) |

Work was pretty tame today. I had some catching up to do on a couple of projects. The phone calls have started to come in, including people who haven't enrolled yet. Most students have been able to enroll since the end of October/early November. Class starts next Thursday. Slackers.
They're predicting a lot of snow tomorrow, but it won't come in full force until we're all at work. It's not supposed to stop until the time we get off of work. I seriously doubt they're going to close campus in the morning. It will be a blessing and a curse if they send us home at noon.
Every year the offices in my section, called Student Success, participate in the "Student Success Olympics" which entails playing random games against other people and offices. Sam and I got silver in free-throw doubles yesterday, Kathy and Kim got gold and silver, respectively, in "Puzzle Mania", and Sonja got silver in Texas Hold 'Em. The events were in the evening today and included bowling, checkers and DDR. I bowled and only scored 100. The way it's judged is by the average of the top four scores of your team. I missed the cut for top four, so that's good - our average wasn't hurt by my poor showing.
We've been watching Burn Notice. We just started the second season yesterday. If Natalie ever goes to sleep tonight (she's currently bouncing off the walls instead of going to sleep) we're going to watch the second episode. It's good stuff.
I'm going to go see if I can help get her to sleep.

We are a nation leading the global arena in perilous wars, occupations, and aggressive operations. Without the consent of congresses, through preemptive executive fiat, millions of innocent civilians have been murdered using our tax dollars (the fruits of our labor).
Throughout the years, from president to president, we have seen nothing but the radical increase, expansion, and privatization of the military industrial complex. The previous administration campaigned on a non-interventionist foreign policy, and a cease of nation building. The current administration campaigned on ending the American wars and transparency. The false promises have coaxed us all into the expansion of wars through regional occupation and operations, to unprecedented military spending.
In the midst of a terrible economic crisis it is inane to discuss economic parity while turning a blind eye to where our money is actually spent. Yet this is what the social work profession continues to do. It is disheartening that the social work profession is fixated on treating the symptoms of war (PTSD, TBI, Etc) rather than even speaking up regarding the elimination of the cause. Additionally, as funding for our social service programs are cut, we are quick to accept the notion that our economy is bad, while holding on to the hope that it will get better, while at the same time allowing funding for wars to increase.
If you are on Facebook and you feel the way I do please click on this link and join SOCIAL WORKERS AGAINST WAR: http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=185008904932
If anyone is interested in helping moderate the page I could use good people to help stimulate discussions, and seek and post social work related articles. Thanks guys!

So once I get all the videos of Christmas loaded I'll post them, but they were taking a long time to upload so I gave up.
I have to go to work tomorrow and I don't want to go. I guess it's better, since I've done very little with my vacation but relax (and play World of Warcraft). This week will be pretty easy but then it will start getting busy again the week after.
I watched the Broncos lose to the Chiefs today. I figured they would since we typically split the season series with them. Plus, since we needed to win to have any hope of getting into the playoffs, I knew they'd find a way to lose to the hapless Chiefs.
Anyway, I'm going to go watch TV or something.
