So, who has today off?
I do. My wife works with nothing but fundies, so every year, I like to call up there and wish them all "Happy Bill Clinton Day." Drives them nuts.

2. Fundies without Presidents' Day off?
That's downright unpatriotic. Please call her bosses and explain that to them.

3. My office is closed to the public, but it's a work day anyway....
sorta like teachers' inservice days, i guess. So, no customers/employers to deal with, few phones ringing, lots of loose ends tied up.

5. That's not so bad.
Anytime you don't have to deal with customers, it's a good thing.

6. I'm not technically out of school...
But what I'm actually going to do is another story. I just ate a big bowl of cereal in the best bowl ever. It's deep, it's big around, and it's yellow. I got it on sale at Bed Bath and Beyond. Best. Bowl. Ever. Fuck school today. I'm staying right here. hunkered down in the covers.

8. Alright you bunch of slackers!
Get to work. We can't have all this non-productivity going on. It's hurting the economic recovery!

9. everyday is President's day
Edited on Mon Feb-16-04 09:42 AM by soundgarden1
when you're unemployed. But I put up the President's Day Tree today in the living room, and I put a big star with a picture of Bush right on the very top. Then I set up my Hot Wheels track with all my favorite Nascar racers and played racecar all morning in a Nazi uniform my granddad tore from a Kraut Major in WWII.

Happy President's Day!

12. This "President Day" thing is freaky
If someone in Brazil tried to institute such a thing, people (me included) would say this is not Stalinist Russia and you can shove your personality cult up your wazoo.

But what do I know? We're such a backwards, third world culture.
