Ooh, client
is
in today. So there is much work to do. Occasionally my boss lets me leave early on Friday - I'm hoping that'll happen today.
One of my bosses is off today. The other (Jewish) boss is here. They know I'm not Christian, so I can't say I wanna leave to do the Jesus thing....
Last night we were having a conversation about things being open today or not, and all the Jews (ie, everyone in the room but me) were surprised that everything's not closed for Good Friday.
I am pretty sure I said this last year, but at my high school job at a small grocery store, we closed from 12 -3 on Good Friday so everyone could go to mass.
My folks were surprised that I don't have today off. They were surprised on each Good Friday for the past seven years, too. At least they're consistent. I'm sure I could find things to do with a day off, but I don't think the bosses would find, "I have to finish the S1 Battlestar Galactica DVDs" a good reason for me to leave.
Huh. I neglected to put on mascara today. (This is only notable in that I'm on autopilot in the morning, so usually it takes something really disruptive to change my routine. Of which there was none.)
Good enough for me, Calli.
We get sent home every year at 2 pm, but no one ever tells us until 2 pm, when they send out an email saying "If your work is finished, the Dean says you can go home."
This is how it usually goes with us, except it's always 3pm - I'm amazed we're getting out so early, and with actual prior notice.

Heh, this amuses me because the first name of the guy who would be letting us go early (not that I expect that to happen) is "Dean". If he ever referred to himself as "The Dean" I'd never stop snickering.
Whoo, shrift!
80 degrees here today and I get off at noon. Yay.
It's 71 degrees here, it looks like a hell of a storm is rolling in, and I have to be here until 6. Boo.
My "new" car (bought in September) has headlights that actually turn off when you turn off the car in general, so I am much less likely to run down the battery.
My Malibu does the same thing, as well as the auto-on. If my next car has manual lights, I'm so screwed.

I used to be support staff for an elderly professor whose first name is Dean. He used to scare students and others into doing what he wanted by always leaving it unclear whether he was "the Dean" or not.
I think I have plans to go for drinks with at least 3 different groups of people today. Alcoholiday!
