You know, with the exception of one deadly and unpredictable midget, this girl is the smallest cargo I've ever had to transport. Yet by far the most troublesome. Does that seem right to you?

sara, if you are going to be cranky girl, then go full out and tell them not to use your desk. I mean really.

Anyone comes in, I'm going to flat out tell them they can't have anything on my desk. Had anyone ASKED in the first place, I would have made that clear. And I don't know who organized this.

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

Sarameg, any time working adults get to goof around, I say one should do one's best to support said goofing.

They are welcome to, but don't forcibly involve me.

I'm not a big joiner when it comes to games and such. Never have been.

They have the day off in Ireland (for All Saints, or All Souls.) Maybe you are in the wrong country.

Yup. Why did I leave? Why? Also, I never knew it was for religious reasons. I always just thought they needed another bank holiday.

Silence means security silence means approval

When I was a kid, the Catholic schools got 11/1 for All Saints.

We never did. All Saints was a school day at Cascia. As was Easter Monday (though we did get Good Friday off).

We used to get All Saints off in Chile, too. Catholicism has got to be good for something.

There is only one person at work dressed up for Halloween. She came in her bathrobe, slippers and curlers and it is awesome. I am kinda crushin' on her right now. Not a good look for a party at a club, though.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

When I was a kid, the Catholic schools got 11/1 for All Saints.

The Catholic school on my block when I was a kid in suburban Chicago always got Nov. 1 off for All Saints Day. It seemed entirely unfair that they got my birthday off and I didn't. Also, the parochial school kids liked to come to the public school and make faces at us through the window on days that they had off that we didn't.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I never got Halloween off in Canada either. Canadian national holidays. Canadian provincial and territorial holidays.
