It's the WEEKEND!

And a long one at that.

About 80% of the rest of the office has already left...most taking vacation, some just on "personal business."

My 10-year old daughter wants to get her ears pierced. Peer pressure. We may let her do it, but she loses major, major credibility points. She has brought this up before, but always backed away because of the pain.

My 14-year old wants to go see the MATRIX II tonight. We would rather that he did not. He won't. We have tickets tonight to a local live theatre show, which we have had for weeks. A new girl has joined his school and her mother seems to be on a total campaign to corrupt our kids. The mother continually tries to set up group trips to "events" that are strictly "R" to "X". She even offers to buy tickets. Outrageous!
