How bittersweet to celebrate Labor Day when the American worker is suffering so in this economy.

@Lymed: I keep reading and sighing, not having anything else to say. (We've had a rough go in my husband's plant this week.)

Speaking of jobs, though, I noticed something interesting on lifehacker yesterday - a job posting for Controller at Gawker.

I immediately got massively pissed that it wasn't listed here.

That is all.

@labeled: I saw that too, but didn't think much about it because I don't live in NY.

Can we have an open thread Monday to amuse those people who have to work? I'm not one of them, but I am willing to sacrifice part of my day on Monday to amuse them.

So I guess my Monday will be spent staring at a blank computer screen, while crying salty tears.

Have a great long weekend!

@BabyJane: I was planning on cutting out the pictures from my Edward Gorey books and having conversations with them.

@lilbobbytables is a la-di-da feminist: I'm going to design a line of Jezebel action figures, so that when this happens again, I'll be prepared. In the meantime, I'm just going to disemvowel my own emails.

@BabyJane: I know how to make action figures! Well, actually, I know how to customize action figures. But that's the same, right?

@Zombie Ms. Skittles: I think you need to make this happen. We can have one for each of the editors, a few commenters and a troll that Hortense can ban!

@CurtCole: You will get an adorable little man in a striped shirt and you WILL LIKE IT, mister! If you play your cards right and I feel like being ambitious, you might score a bottle of wine.

I technically have a 1/2 day today too! I love getting off early every Friday. Anyone have any big plans for the holiday? We're going camping with my Dad's family. I'm hoping my gramma doesn't get drunk & talk about sex toys like she did the last time. I think the BF was traumatized.

@cb831: That sounds far more entertaining that what I have planned: panicky last-minute wedding prep.
