Because people are taking this too seriously.

The Rules: Post info about ONE Supreme Court decision, modern or historic, to your lj. (Any decision, as long as it's not Roe v. Wade.) For those who see this on your f-list, take the meme to your OWN lj to spread the fun."

Or not. Can YOU name a Supreme Court decision other than Roe v. Wade without looking it up? Before coffee?

Dedicated to the far more threatening attempt of the Who Cares If It's Actually Period, Let's All Sing Steeleye Span faction on SCA_Bards to take over the Known World,  I give you Campbell v. Acuff-Rose Music (92-1292), 510 U.S. 569 (1994).

My brain is full...............

Seriously. For weeks, I've done nothing but:
1. Review and update employee history records in our database, a process that requires cat herding dozens of foremen into getting their guys to fill the things out and turn them in so I can call back on dozens of them and say, "Dude, tell Joe X that he needs to put down the name and phone number of his emergency contact" or, "What's Pete Y's address, because he wrote 1840 Manteca, California and no street name." Then cross them off a check list as I go through and update the database. (This with regular payroll routine thrown in the middle of it.) Then sort them into alphabetical order so that when we send them down to HQ and they don't send someone their holiday gift card on the grounds that we never sent them, I will have copies to refer to and say, "Oh, yes you did, I have proof, here it is, give the guy his damn turkey."
If I ever get through the stack, I'm going to redesign the blasted form and send it to HQ with a plea to adopt something that does not confuse the average construction worker because it's so badly laid out.

2. Write documentation. For DAYS. Sarah who? Supreme what? But I can go on for pages about Japanese arts and history. You should see the ziggurats of books surrounding my desk in the garret. 

3. Construct and compose various and sundry things that the documentation supports (because the documentation has, in some cases, taken as long or longer to write).

4. Get up to pee.

5. Eat.

My brain is full. So full it won't shut off at night and keeps clicking through checklists and, "Did you do this?" and "Don't forget that."

I'm punchy from sleep deprivation and you want a war cry??????????????
