"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

I've got MLK off, and I'm taking a personal day tomorrow. Go team 4-day weekend!

Two years ago we lost President's Day, Patriot's Day (which is pretty much only celebrated in Mass. and Maine), and Columbus day because our clients in other states didn't take them. However, we got 3 additional personal days as recompense. Which reminds me, I need to request Patriot's off as coming into Boston on Marathon Monday (and there's always a big Sox day game too) is of the suck.

Not having has never been the thing I've regretted most in my life. Not trying is.

he said he still felt it was an imposition.

Ass. Hat.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

We get Memorial Day, July 4th, Labor Day, Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years plus two "personal holidays". So 10 is generous in my book.

Add in the day after T'giving, and that's what we've got.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

he still felt it was an imposition.

Two words for him: 1990 ADA. Just because some folks require extra assistance because they are disabled...argh. Idiot. If he pushed to have the meeting offsite for the sole reason of the extra work it's going to cause, he could open himself up to a discrimination lawsuit.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

He just--he's monomaniacal about production. He resents anything which means he has to be flexible. Sad thing is, I know he thinks his devotion to the work makes him a problem solver, and he doesn't realize his obsession with only ONE part of the work makes him a problem.

I’m responsible for my own happiness? I can’t even be responsible for my own breakfast! (Bojack Horseman)

Good Friday and Easter Monday, Nora.

Nice!

We get pretty much everything, but not those two days. But, MLK, President's Day, Veteren's Day, Columbus Day, Patriot's Day (which is like the best day off EVER).

Coding and Sleeping

I used to get Patriot's Day off here in Missouri when I worked for a company based in Boston.

Our wings are not tired.

The kids have off school, which is surprising because I thought they would use the day to make up hurricance days. I work every day.

Now Bob Marley's widow is saying her words were twisted and she will not be moving him.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

::glowers at people for whom the concept of day off means something and involves pay::

As I've mentioned, the handful of days that Jilli and I get are ONLY because of companies what have been sued by temps insisting that agencies pretend to care.

I have no idea if Monday is a Company Holiday at Jobplace.

If it is, the only thing it changes for me is how I bill for that time. It occurs to me that the older I get, the more bitter about that I become.

Paul has Monday as a holiday day, but has to work in the morning. The time and a half will be nice, though.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

They finally gave us MLK day off a few years back, so we no longer have that long dry spell between New Years and Memorial Day. Add in my six weeks of PTO (I've already taken one day this week for my cold), and it's not a bad set up here.

I work for the Lege

Hayden, mind if I ask which one? My job involves contacting state legs on a regular basis--I might be getting a hold of you someday, and not even know it's you!
