Today's thoughts:

I was furloughed for a few days from my job. I had Wednesday until Sunday off. That's OK, for 2 reasons: One, there was nothing else I could do there. Two, I needed the time off to grade papers, do my taxes, and study for the MPRE.

Biggest problem? No one seems to know what furlough means. Hell, I doubt I can spell it. Anyway, it was nice to have a break. Monday I go back to work to try to convince people to spend their time to help others.

Speaking of which, I'm looking forward to Oprah's Big Give. Maybe watching that will make me feel better about calling people.

I did finish my taxes and was disappointed to find out that I get no refund. Well, I didn't have an income last year, but I thought my expenditures would maybe qualify me for a return. And then I remembered, it's an income tax! Without an income, there's nothing going! Still, never hurts to hope.
