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.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
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.

Thrive to spite them
I'm glad I can get time with my parents but I wish I could spend time with my dad more and without my mom.
They aren't arguing or anything but they are on their 3rd version of "I get so many spam calls every day. Can you believe how many calls we get?. This is ridiculous "... comparing where the calls are.comign from, how often etc..I guess it's better than comparing health problems

In other news, I am now a proud great aunt for the second time. My niece in law had a baby boy this morning. (6 lb, 14 oz) Both she and the baby are doing fine. My sister's going to love getting her grandma on at close range—the other grand child is three states away.
