Well, you'd better not be thinking what I think you're thinking, because my answer is the same as always — no threesomes unless it's boy-boy-girl. Or Charlize Theron.

Very cool, msbelle! Um, that you worked with Opal Lee, although it is also pretty cool that you get tomorrow off. We do not, although I suppose they could make an announcement to that effect this afternoon but considering our VP of People has not been replaced yet I don't see that happening. Yay federal holiday in general!

Our wings are not tired.

That is simply awesome, msbelle. I may have whooped when I heard that it was instantly being observed.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

We received a 12 paragraph email from the president of our school about our dedication to antiracism and the importance Juneteenth. None of those paragraphs included a day off tomorrow, alas. Working with Opal Lee sounds pretty cool, msbelle.

That’s awesome msbelle! I figure we don’t get off for veterans day or Columbus Day or Presidents’ Day so I’m sure we won’t get Juneteenth either even if it’s a federal holiday. Oh well.

t, 108 is WAY too many degrees. Good grief. I thought you lived in a temperate Bay Area climate!

I anticipate zero of my medical offices will be closed tomorrow.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I figure we don’t get off for veterans day or Columbus Day or Presidents’ Day so I’m sure we won’t get Juneteenth either even if it’s a federal holiday.

Yep, same. We do have a pretty full slate of Juneteenth DEI programming tomorrow, and folks have been given blanket permission to attend those panels/workshops/etc, which I think is a good move.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I get federal holidays off, and yet no last-minute email saying we don't have to work tomorrow. Working is dumb.

We don't generally follow Federal Holidays, but I'm hopeful we might get Juneteenth off next year.

I thought you lived in a temperate Bay Area climate!

We get fewer of these days than somewhere like Fresno, at least, but when they do hit they are brutal. Just got off the phone with one of my salespeople who is actually nearby (a lot of them live in the areas they service) and she signed off with "stay cool" which I of course took literally and then that struck me as incredibly funny. I may be a little loopy from the heat. [disclaimer - I do not think I am in actual danger from the heat, I don't have air conditioning my house stays relatively cool with the curtains drawn, I'm just uncomfortable. If I do feel like I'm in danger there are cooling sites open I can go to, I think the library is one]

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

I got the notice that we're closing tomorrow. Yay! I was a little worried, since the annual celebration takes place right under my office windows. I can sleep late, maybe run some errands ... and I've discovered that a local bakery makes a really good frozen coffee (better than a frappuccino), although they don't open until after I've left for work and close before I get home.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Happy Birthday Cass!

They may well be giving us tomorrow off(no e-mail had shown up stating that before I left) but I still am going in for a full day. Hey, maybe I'll get overtime pay.
