WHAT THE FRACK??

...local Republicans unveiled their line of official clothing for the party's national convention this summer in St. Paul. They modeled the outfits, including Zubaz pants, at the Mall of America

ZUBAZ?!? I am seriously leaving town during the convention. This has only strengthened that promise.

(yes, I know they're a Minnesota company, that doesn't make it right)

ETA: PTO request has been submitted! I'm officially leaving town and you're all welcome to join me up in Brainerd!

Run away, Leigh.

No kidding. It's over my birthday too, just to make it a little bit worse. =/

[pbvalla.livejournal.com]

Gross, dude.

Road. Trip. Fo' realz. *points to icon*

I'm planning to go hide out in my cabin in the woods. If I can get off work.

[seimaisin.livejournal.com]

Take me with you? ::clings::

[leighblack.livejournal.com]

You're always welcome!

Maybe I should have like a week-long birthday party up there. Come at any point you want to escape the conventioners. We do have plenty of room...

[seimaisin.livejournal.com]

I'm in! I totally want to be a real Minnesotan and escape to the lake every once in a while. :)

Doing the math...I have 75 hours of PTO right now. I already have 64 hours requested off in the future. But I'll still be getting another 76 96 hours before the end of the year...so that gives me 87 107 hours yet? That's almost 11 over 13 days. So I think I'll be fine to take all of Labor Day week off and carry a couple days over for the cruise (besides the 5 days I'll automatically have in Jan) AND still be able to take a couple random mental health days. YAY! I'm requesting that whole week right now!

I'm sure you're glad you got to read all that. =)

I fail at math
AND HTML *sigh*

Dude. I am in awe of your vacation time. Though, I still haven't done all the math to see how good I'll be set after the end of July - I start accruing my 4th week this year! \o/ Right now, all I know is that I can take the two days off next week, two days in August when Amy's here, and the usual holidays and still have enough time for both Christmas and TRB. I might have more time floating out there? I need to add it up!

[leighblack.livejournal.com]

I know. It's crazy! I get 24 days + 3 floating holidays + I can carry over up to 5 days. One year, before they put the limit on how many days you could carry over, I had like 40 days off. That's TWO whole months. I, of course, used it to stalk rock boys.

Holy fuck, that's hideous.

And I totally had no idea that those crime-against-nature pants were supposedly fashionable. Really. On what fucking planet?

[leighblack.livejournal.com]

The only thing I can figure is that some 80yo Republican thinks they're the bomb or something.

[shutthef-up.livejournal.com]

We totally need to commiserate. I've the Democratic National Convention here in Denver.

I haven't heard anything about the 'fashions', but I think you're going to win that round for hideousness hands-down. The Dems could probably come up with something worse, but I doubt they actually will.

[leighblack.livejournal.com]

Unless it's Members Only jackets and leg warmers, I don't think it could possibly be worse.

What the hell is 'official' convention clothing anyways??

[evilprettykitty.livejournal.com]

Seriosly? If only I didn't need air condition because of the MS!

[dazeebean.livejournal.com]

Ok, so like I haven't even looked at the link, b/c I just CAN'T!!! (It'll bring me back to 4th-5th grade)

Anyway, if its in the cards for me then, I'm in too!!!

(Not that I was going anywhere anyway?, but this way I'll have a fun weekend;)

[rockerlee.livejournal.com]

Zubaz? Are they KIDDING? Do they think it's the Republican Convention for the 1992 election?????

[leighblack.livejournal.com]

Dude, I have NO idea. No idea at all.

[counterfeitcoin.livejournal.com]

Come on, no one's actually going to wear those. ...Are they?
