Huh. I do have a 3-day. [This means I'm 0 for 2 on remembering/knowing about holidays this year. Somebody remind me when July 4 rolls around.]
And boys -- let's watch the swearing.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Msbelle, that is ouch indeed.
I just got a text from the newlywed cousin--her and her oldest sister have an LA layover tomorrow, so I get to see them! Not celebrate, and no wife, but still. I've seen the young one once since I've been in LA. Once.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
I have a three day weekend, not that it matters since I've basically been out sick this whole week. But what I will be doing is: installing Pro Tools 10 whoot!

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I am in the midst of a 5 day weekend (all unpaid, though, so not that exciting). And I have a cold - I am telling myself that my throat and sinuses are irritated by environmental factors and I am not actually sick, it just feels the same as a cold. For some reason, this seems better to me. I am about to try the folk remedy that I just coined of "feed a fever, drown a cold with alcohol", see how that goes. Often worked in college, as I recall.
I'm so sorry, Scrappy. I'm sure you will land on your feet with your usual aplomb, but that's a drag to have to.

No three day weekend for me either. My roommate has gotten used to the government--she was all "how can you not?" And surprised when I said I didn't think I had ever gotten MLK day off

Our wings are not tired
Have fun with Pro Tools 10. I'm sitting at a Pro Tools rig right now and will be at one all weekend.

I am the fly who dreams of the spider
So I work 8 to 4. Boss is pretty firm on sticking to a 40 hour work week. I'll be logging at least 4 hours on Saturday tomorrow. At 2:30 she tells me that if I want, I can clock out early to compensate for me working the weekend.
Um, no?
Hi, I'll be taking a proper half-day next week, so sorry.
I've been taking active measures to undermine her freaky control tendencies, which has been giving me mucho pleasure. Deferring hers and mine needs to another department, which on one hand seems like a workaround, but really is just insulting to the woman who should be doing that work, and despite her Excel deficiencies, seems to be on top of things.

Our wings are not tired.
No 3 day weekend here either since it is unlikely that any of our customers would be closed. I'll likely go home for a very long lunch so that I can watch the inauguration events.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Well, I'm getting a three-day-weekend all right.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
Where are we discussing Downton Abbey. I'm doing a rewatch with Beau (he never saw it before) and his reactions to DA are hilarious. in episode 2 of season 1 he could not STAND Mary. Had a hate on for her like I've never seen.
Now he is calling Edith names. About 5x through any episode he says to me: why is she always running after Mary's men? What's her problem?
then when she got recognition for her work in the hospital (S2) he growled: "she doesn't deserve any applause with her stank ass. Sybil deserves applause."
