Getting canned with, like, 3 month's severance pay would be pretty awsome.

Capn - Man, am I with you there.

Steve Jobs announces a partnership deal with Amtrak, MTA and American Airlines. Under the title "iMove", it'll be an asthetically-appealing, competitively-priced form of mass transit.

I would like my roommates to spontaneously vaporize along with their smelly boyfriends. I would like a closing date nailed down. I would like to be paid for the month that I've worked and not been paid. Other than that, today is a swimming day, so I'm good.

Not on preview: That's awesome Dalek.

I'm kinda hoping that my workplace will go under, too. I qualify for unemployment. I could use a few months on the couch.

I would like for lipstick thespian to get a non-temp job that fulfills his creative side and gives him health care and enough money to get a car. I would like for my friend croctommy to get a job in his chosen career that does not require him to move out of town, and gives him enough money to live in a place where he can have a dog or two adopted from the shelter. I would like for my orange sweater, my green sweater, and my margarita sock to be resurrected from their woolsucking deaths.

Alito thrown out, no emails/calls about any problems at work since i have a day off, and impeachment/resignation of the entire administration. Just those little things.

Since amberglow covered the essentials, I'll wish for cures for cancer, AIDS, and the common cold.

Someone to rub my back while someone else does all of my laundry. Maybe a puppy would hang out with me, too.

posted by cmonkey 10 January | 12:05

I would like my boss to buy me dinner. And to announce she'll buy me lunch everyday.

I also want to make it to the Kiehl's store so I can stock up on lip balm.

posted by ThePinkSuperhero 10 January | 12:07

cmonkey- I can send my chihuahua to your house. If you lay down flat, she'll jump all over your back. She can't do laundry yet, though.

Redistribution of wealth.

On a practical level, I would like to make it to the gym.

free chocolate for everyone (the ones who don't want it, can pass theirs to me), and not the kind that's made by enslaved children... that fair trade stuff

posted by MightyNez 10 January | 12:18

I second both Smart Dalek's and matildben's idea.

Unrealistically, I would love a large sum of money to polish off my debts and then to buy the gorgeous orange bedspread I saw on Devon St as well as take another week off. Hell, I'd do it right and take the month off, add the beautiful handsewn quilt to the orange quilt order, fix my desktop and go north to see my family.

Realistically, I would like a smooth reintroduction to working life and a nice reuben sandwich.

Well, me and two of my co-workers just ordered in cheesesteaks from Wogies, so one of my wishes has come true.

posted by jonmc 10 January | 12:27

I'd be satisfied with my headache going away.

posted by mike9322 10 January | 12:35

Me too, mike 9322. Mine, that is. And an end to this sore throat/cough.

Also for your headache to disappear, too, because it was your idea first.

I'd like the number I'll be calling in a few minutes to be a positive path toward an even better damn job (visualize moonbird teaching violent youth in a recovery program).

posted by moonbird 10 January | 12:41

Those fucking cheesesteaks are taking forever.

posted by jonmc 10 January | 12:59

Screaming eyeballs would be nice.

posted by DeepFriedTwinkies 10 January | 13:04

I think rebirtha's the only one who has eyeballs that scream. Other forms of screaming can be arranged, however.

posted by matildaben 10 January | 13:08

They arrived. But they forgot the chili on my fries, the fucks.

posted by jonmc 10 January | 13:10

- Me getting a puppy
- Sunshine would be nice (it was there for a couple minutes, but faded fast)
- A cure for diabetes
- The disappearnce of my extra poundage

And the ol' standby:

World peace

Well, 'Mats covered me fine with her post.

So I wish that all of my friends fall madly in love (if they ain't already), or fall madder if they are.

Let's have a crazy rash of weddings, anniversaries, slumber parties and whatever by year's end.

posted by Lipstick Thespian 10 January | 13:25

I can arrange falling madly in love but I'd like it if you asked for it to be equivalent on both persons' behalf.

posted by matildaben 10 January | 13:28

Mars has world peace. It's overrated.

I would like to be torn apart by wolves today, or failing that, to get through my workout without chafing. Thanks.

margarita sock (sort of, mine were a different style from the same company which doesn't seem to be made anymore)

posted by matildaben 10 January | 14:25

UPDATE: My headache seems to have dissipated. My wish for today has come true! See, folks, that's the key to happiness: aim low.

posted by mike9322 10 January | 14:30

I'd like for all the muscles in my back to relax, just once.

Hey, I just think they should be allowed to scream, given the opportunity. Nay, made to scream, when the time is right.

I would like to stop itching.

Are you coming on to me?

I second amberglow's wishes and add I would like a winning lottery ticket. So much for aiming low.

It's five o'clock. Is it too late for me to get a million dollars?

IRFH is in the Lower Mainland? Cool :^)

Not that anyone cares, but the record is 28 days in 1953. We're probably gonna break the record.
