( Private to self )
It's definitely Monday today. I used to try varying my nonwork days to try and make some other day of the week take Monday's place, but no! Even if I spend Monday doing nothing, it's still Monday.
It's enough to make a guy superstitious.

It's oldschool tax day! Personal taxes are not actually due until Monday.
Accounting frustrations: No, you cannot change to a LIFO system when you've used FIFO since you started up. Yes, I know LIFO makes you look better on paper and you really really really want to grub for investors. I also know that you're trying to manipulate shit somewhere with the switch, unless you're just trying to give me a migraine.
Why did I think it was a good idea to take a few longtime clients with me when I left my old firm again? Insert disgusted noise here.
Ah well, once the fiscal year-end close is done, I can go back to focusing on my own projects. And regain lost sanity.

Are we done? Does eeeeeveryone have the rah-rah out of their system? (I'm going to guess the answer is no.)
No, I will not be at the rally. Ever since my first run through college, I have avoided all parts of the political process apart from my due diligence of research and actual voting. Any and all rallies, meetings, groups, and assorted Causes are no. There are some crazy freaks in some of those groups, and the only way to avoid them all is not to play the game. And to walk through certain parts of campus with eyes closed and/or can of pepper spray at the ready. (Mostly a joke.)
That said, for the record? I personally could not give less of a shit if anyone's Augmented or not. I know a few, and they're about the same as everyone else plus a few things I can't do. As none of them so far know one end of a balancesheet or earnings statement from the other, I rest easy in the knowledge that there are things I can do that they can't, so there's really no difference from the rest of life.
Of course I reserve the right to care in the future, should any Augmented decide to try to set me on fire or kill me with their brain.

Gotta love politicians and their inability to think things through on a practical level.
I mean, sure. OK. Register the augmented. It sounds good, and with enough impassioned yelling either side makes a decent platform for more yelling. But here's the thing: one way or another, it'll never fly.
How many augmented actually have immediately apparent augmentations? I don't have the numbers, but I'd bet it's a vanishing minority. The rest of them? You're only going to know if they tell you, or if there are genetic or blood markers for augmentation and you forcibly test the bejesus out of every single American citizen. So, either get only the obvious and the honest and call it a win even though everyone with a brain'll know it's a lie, or alienate the whole country, augmented included.
It'll never affect me one way or the other, but I hate seeing moron reasoning take center stage.
