This is how awesome my company is:
They’re nice enough to give me the day after Christmas off, but if I want to take Christmas Day off, I have to use my paid time off. Or, I could volunteer to work.
Same goes for New Year’s. I work New Year’s Eve. If I want New Year’s Day off, then I have to use paid time off. Oh, but I get Monday, 1/02 off.
Whoopie! I get Monday, December 26th off! And January 2nd off! Thanks so much, big company. I didn’t need that paid time off, anyways (note: sick time and floating holidays also count as PTO, so basically, I’m having to forego some sick time just to get Christmas and New Year’s off).
Some people would say “You’re lucky you even have a job.” Fuck them. They probably all have Christmas and New Year’s off. Paid.

the good & the bad
You what makes me sad sometimes (well, ONE of the things)? When I accidentally see what’s trending worldwide on Twitter.
No, seriously.
I mean, the internet is a wondrous thing… we’re able to share information to the world instantly! That’s just awesome! And we can share ideas and insights and apply them to things that we didn’t think they’d apply to… take, for example, this story: Gamers Decode AIDS Protein That Stumped Researchers For 15 Years In Just 3 Weeks. That’s incredible! (The article has been updated to add that really, it only took them 10 days. TEN FREAKING DAYS) That’s just… wow!
And then, you look at Twitter. What’s trending on Twitter? Now, this list isn’t as bad as what was trending a while ago, but come on; #IGetRealMadWhen ? #TheresNoWayInHell ? THIS is what people are talking about, worldwide?
Pervs.

Isabella Soprano is #1
So, I’ve had a Flickr account for a few years now (2005), and while I’m not using it as much as I used to, I still manage to check in there every once in a while. Plus, I have to finish my Domo Project sometime…
Anyways, so my friend Michele tweeted that her most viewed photo on Flickr is a picture of French Toast. So that got me wondering… what’s my most viewed photo of? Well, if you know me, then you know the answer is pretty easy – my most viewed photo, nay, my top ten just HAS to be something porn related. So for me, the real question is… what’s my most viewed photo that has nothing to do with porn?
What I found out made me laugh… because it’s sad. Sad for me, sad for you, sad for society in general. But it’s funny. So let me throw you some stats:
My top viewed photo: Isabella Soprano. Not a bad choice, people.
My highest ranking photo (views) unrelated to porn? #166 – my friend Stacy showing off her (back then, still in style) Uggs.
The highest ranking photo with me in it? #2 – me, with Taylor Rain. My highest ranking with no pornstar? #190 – me at The Brookfield Zoo. For reference, that #190 ranks well below Domo’s first appearance at #179. And if you think that’s funny, we both rank below #172, a vagina shaped pillow and #177, a sign at a balloon fetish booth. Not of goings-on at the booth… just a picture of the sign.
The highest ranking picture of Joelle and me together is #188. The highest ranking picture of Joelle by herself is #189. Both still rank above my #190, but we’re all below this urinal cake at #183.
I suppose I should feel insulted, but when you consider pictures like my #192 , well, I guess I can see why I’m ranking so low.

Of course, this will have its own category…
This’ll be a quick one:
