We are off today for Good Friday and for our many Jewish students who have big Passover celebrations starting up.
Most people is pretty quiet right about now. Me, I see a stiff -- one I didn't have to kill myself -- I just get, the urge to, you know, do stuff. Like work out, run around, maybe get some trim if there's a willin' woman about... not that I get flush from corpses or anything. I ain't crazy.

The status is NOT quo.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
So do you usually get Good Friday and also the first day of Passover?

The status is NOT quo.
No, we only get Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur as full days off guaranteed. Good Friday just overlaps with the first full day this year.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
Rather than getting Good Friday off as a holiday, we get a floating holiday that we can use at any point throughout the year, traditionally employed on one's birthday if workflows cooperate.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
some years we get two floating holidays, but I don't think this is one of them.
I was thinking of extending my leave 2-4 weeks, and now I'm feeling guilty about not being at work or not going back "on time". I chatted with the department gossip-monger and she hinted that I might not get my same journals back, and now I'm freaking out a little that I'm messing myself up work-wise. Rationally, probably not, but who's rational? If I were entirely rational, I wouldn't be taking leave.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Back from my MIL's house, where we had the first seder. Second one's there as well.

No guilt, Zen! You do what you need to do.

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".
Second one's there as well.
Someone should have taken a picture of my face this week when I learned that overseas there is more than one Seder.

I saw a license plate that read UROUT, and I hope that the guy driving it is an umpire.
