My office closes for Good Friday and my usual 9/80 day off would be on Friday so that got bumped. I had actually planned to take it today instead but then this class got scheduled so I'll have Monday off.
Now you can luxuriate in a nice jail cell, but if your hand touches metal, I swear by my pretty flowered bonnet, I will end you.

You know, Watergate may just have taught some people some things. All those aides who refused to follow That Man's orders re: Mueller were probably thinking "I'm not the one who's going to be sitting in front of a million cameras explaining why I did the President's dirty work. Mama didn't raise me to be John Dean."

My office is closed for Good Friday (a fact I forgot until my boss reminded me when I said we should schedule something for tomorrow) and I am therefore going antiquing with a friend who freelances.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I don't think I got Good Friday off even in grammar school (I think we had a half-day?), so I am fascinated by all of this!

Our wings are not tired.
We always got Good Friday off, but my public high school was so Catholic that they made church announcements along with all the other school announcements.

I mean, the population at my public school was Catholic enough that I can basically tell you who wasn't Catholic in my class (me, one Greek Orthodox, one Jehovah's Witness, one Sikh, and I guess some non-church-goers.)

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I used to get Good Friday / Easter Monday off when I worked at the BBC (because the UK office was closed), but that was a while ago. The kids are off for spring break, but that's been true all week!

I find it kind of weird that we are closed for Good Friday, honestly, but I'll take the day off.

Yeah, we got the whole week off when I was in school.
