There should have been a Schoolhouse Rock episode on abdication.
I'm hearing "AB-di-ca-tion! Abdication!" to the tune of the Hallelujah chorus. (I think there actually is a Schoolhouse Rock already set to that, but it works for abdication, too.)
I can handle the Oz Full Monty. I mean, not 'handle' handle.

I mean, the last abdication was during the Great Western Schism! I love that I get to use the word schism!

Ab-dication! When monarchs! Step do-own!

Stuff like having Lunar New Year off is why I occasionally want to leave my rural enclave and live in a metropolis. It's like, hey, some places acknowledge people other than white people exist!
But you live in a pretty non-white (or nonwhite adjacent) rural enclave!
N&G had off today for Lincoln's Day and they have off again for Washington's Day next week. Seems like a boondoggle to me.

Ugh. Which reminds, we are reaching the point of the school year where it begins to feel like it May. Never. End. March won't be as grim this year with spring break at the end, but then April and May will both be long slow slogs.

Really? I thought that was what Presidents' Day was created to avoid.

I thought so too, -t. But I was also surprised that schools in your neck of the woods have ski week the week of President's Day (at leas they did when I worked there). Euphemistically called "Winter Break" which was separate from "Holiday Break" or "Spring Break."

Sue, I hope the rest of the trip more than makes up for the sucky start.
Today, the HR assistant walked into my office and said "happy anniversary". At first, I thought she meant the firm's 10th Anniversary in Norcal, but it turns out she meant that it is my 5th anniversary in this job.
I've never had one of those before. It's weird, and I'm not sure I like it, but at least they gave me money.
