Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, pandas, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Random question:
When it becomes July 1st, do you:
1) Think, "The year's half-over!"
2) Think, "The year would be half over, except January through June has fewer days than July through December, so the year isn't really half over until...." [and then do the math in your head]
3) Not care.
There are people who don't know that about you??
I have them all fooled. Mistress of deflection, me.
3) Not care.
That. My year segments on the solstices and equinoxes (because I have a fear of winter and short days) and my birthday/the new year, to a lesser degree.
My year segments on the solstices and equinoxes
I do that too. I segment more on these, but I still slice and dice the year up in other ways.
July 1 really doesn't say much to me for me except for the convention of fiscal years, which means that I get to that date and think 4) What Did I Forget To Turn In That Was Absolutely Due Yesterday?
I go to the new fiscal year, too. In the library, they close certain systems (linked to finances) for the year-end rollover two days in advance.
Three for the fiscal year. Team university, high five!
Yep, we're handling a bit of "OMG tomorrow's a new fiscal year and we have to get these eleven-billionty things signed right now!" panic at my office, too. We're not part of a university, but we sort of budded off of one, and it looks like the chronology stuck.
My thought - this year, at least - is "it's July 1 and I'm off tomorrow! I have a FOUR-day weekend!"

Me too. I just came back from a five-day vacation, and I so need another one. One that doesn't end, preferably. With pay.
