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.
You like ships. You don't seem to be looking at the destinations. What you care about is the ships, and mine's the nicest.

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.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
It is so wild to me that there's a new holiday, effective immediately! (We get it off as of last year.)
One of the people key to getting Juneteenth recognized is a woman I worked with years ago with Habitat for Humanity in Fort Worth. Her name is Opal Lee and I know she has been featured on several national news programs.
Oh wow! I just missed a talk with her today!

Thrive to spite them
I spent a nice day with dad and I'm at mom's to spend the night here and have more time with both of them tonight and tomorrow.
Somehow mom has turned into someone who flips between 5 or 6 shows at once. Mostly trying to avoid commercials.
In the past hour we've watched parts of:Dr Pol, Beating Bobby Flay, Olympic trials, horse racing, tennis, some animal patrol thing, and a few others kind of on rotation .

Our wings are not tired.
I'm glad you've had a nice visit with your parents, askye. I understand avoiding commercials, but I do it by having a big buffer or streaming!

We get tomorrow off but, they waited until the very end of the pay period to announce this and it's actually kind of fucking up our time cards. I'm not sure how it's all going to work, and we got a plaintive email around noon today from the timekeepers asking us to please stop emailing them; we will know when they get guidance.

Yeah, that seems crazy to have a holiday in effect immediately!

My city announced they will observe on Monday, which doesn’t really make any practical difference to me but is pleasing.

that seems crazy
It's the good kind of crazy. The bad kind was getting the time off here in DC because of an insurrection.
Not that I have today off; not a peep out of my workplace.
