Delay of gratification matters

So I had a stressful day at work again today, and I know it will be followed by the same tomorrow as I will be acting as Branch Chief once again. I've been pretty on top of the issues with a very low staff, so I'm pretty happy with my performance - but I'd really rather just do my ER work and be left alone! I don't have class until 8 pm - so I have time to try and finish my paper. I am haunted by this paper, and I have to finish it, reading two sample wills, and prepping about 50 pages of criminal law by 6pm tomorrow.

So, I get off work and am very tired. I'm stressed. I need to get things done, and now. Discipline demands no less, and possibly more. So what do I do.

I stop by Hecht's on the way home and buy about $100 worth of 1/2 priced Godiva.

Oh fuck you administration!

President Bush's top intelligence and military officials said Wednesday that terrorists are regrouping for possible new strikes against the United States.
Scary! So...what do we do to defend ourselves from these scary brown people?
They said the best defense was for Congress to approve the president's military and anti-terror budget.
Great solution! Spend money on credit or else the terrorists win!
Hey, the twits were scared enough to elect a president based on fear - now perhaps we can blow even more money on credit towards special-interest programs, but now it's to fight terrorists! We are against big government...except when the brave US needs to run around protecting itself from what might be a threat somewhere!
