I got a call at my house at 11 asking where I was.
Wait, these are the people who can't seem to make a single damned meeting and they are calling your HOUSE on a paid holiday?
Twits.
We don't have any more holidays until...memorial day? The one in may.
I am!

But I have papers to grade anyway.

I'm working. We're all hoping for a 3 pm close, but it's not looking likely.
However, we did hit our year budget target yesterday, so the chances of at least being bought lunch by the bosses are fairly good.
Yeah, I'm in today too. The only religious holiday we get off is Christmas.
well poop. I would give you all off if I were in charge.
sara, not the same people, but I appreciate the outrage.
I'm at work for a few hours today, too.
Article in today's NYT about the housing bubble: [link]
I saw that article, Tom. I am hoping the bubble pops soon enough for me to actually buy something someday, but not at the same time as the currency crashes, because you still have to have money to buy a house.
Yep, I am waiting on one disaster or another. That is how I plan my life.
Is it wrong that I want the housing bubble to burst, just so this woman will suffer?
"It just seems like everyone is doing it," Laurie Romano, a 26-year-old self-described real estate investor, said with a giggle as she explained why she was attending an open house this month for the Nexus, a 56-unit building going up in Brooklyn's chic Dumbo neighborhood. She and her fiancé, a dentist, had already put down a deposit on a Manhattan condo earlier in the week and had come to look at another at the Nexus.
I think it's the giggle....
I cruised into work late this morning. Because it's a paid holiday, and I started earning overtime yesterday.
BigBoss is buying us lunch, which is nice, since I discovered yesterday that half of my coworkers weren't asked to come in today. Now lunch just needs to arrive before I decide that my desk looks like good eatin'.
On the bright side, at least her fiance will have steady work repairing all the broken teeth for people who get roughed up by loan sharks over bad real estate investments.
