So who else besides me is gonna be stuck at work or school for most of the 20th

[DarkTirade]

and won't be able to do anything fancy for the inaguration?

:)

[Muttocracy]

1. I will be traveling for work

x(

The guy who set up the time for the trip is a GOPer. I don't think it was malevolent, but I think it never crossed his mind.

[DarkTirade]

3. Something he would never have thought to celebrate.

Ah well. C'est la guerre.

[cynatnite]

2. I'll be done with classes by noon on that day...

I hope I don't miss anything since news coverage begins at 10am.

[DarkTirade]

4. I don't know if I'm scheduled for work or not, probably not.

Originally I'd had classes scheduled all day. But now I found a few that fit my schedule better (and one that's a prereq for a bunch of things I want to take next semester) so I shifted my schedule around and I'll be out by 2.

And since my work schedule is usually made on Wednesdays, and I just submitted the new schedule around noon today, I'd wager that my boss was still using the one I'd sent last week that had me listed as unable to work Tuesday.

So I won't miss the whole day. I just won't get home until at least 2:30ish.

[Tuesday Afternoon]

5. I will be at work. Story of my life.

~sigh~ :)

[DarkTirade]

7. I know that story all too well.

This is the first time in months there's been enough of a lull for me to get a few days off work. Which is probably good timing, since school starts on Tuesday.

... which is why I'll be missing most of the inaguration hoopla. :P

[hamsterjill]

19. Me, too.

At work with a bunch of unhappy Republicans!!!

But I will, at least, have a big smile on my face!!!!

[SeattleGirl]

6. I get to skip work in the morning and stay home to watch the

inauguration!

My boss is a big Obama fan, and is as excited as I am to watch it on TV.

[DarkTirade]

8. Nice.

What time is the inaguration itself?

[mcctatas]

9. I will be at work...

hiding in my office and watching it on the web ;)

[DarkTirade]

10. Thank the gods for streaming video.

It's the only way I'll get to see it even if I do get home in time. The only TV in the house isn't hooked up to cable, nor does it get broadcast. It's just there for DVDs and VHS. :P

[QMPMom]

11. I am taking a vacation day for the 20th and vegging in front of the

TV to watch history being made. I shamed my boss into it after a promise made last year was broken. They HAD to give me the day off.

[DarkTirade]

22. Nice. :)

[MrsBrady]

12. I was gonna skip class, first day of classes for this sememster

but I ended up with all MWF classes, so I don't have class until Wednesday.

I'm off work on Tuesdays too.


Do you have your VCR/DVR set to record?

[DarkTirade]

23. Alas, MWF are the days I drive my grandpa to dialysis

so I have to fit most of my classes into TTh. Although I just changed my schedule a bit, so I'll actually have that afternoon free.

I don't have a VCR, any watching I do will be streaming video on this here computer screen. :)

[ghostsofgiants]

13. I'm far more concerned with being stuck at work on the 2st.

I'm not going to be able to watch the season premier of Lost until I download it after work. x(

[DarkTirade]

24. Gotta love torrents.

:)

[Callalily]

14. Sad to say me too.

I was contemplating calling in sick, but I've got several projects with due dates fast approaching.

[DarkTirade]

26. Yep. Just because you can theoretically call in sick

doesn't mean you really can in practice. Sucks.

[crispini]

15. me. New job, no time off. :(

[DarkTirade]

28. I know that feeling.

[NewJeffCT]

16. I'll be at work. I may try to watch a bit on the internets

but who knows?

[DarkTirade]

29. Thank the gods for the internets.

:)

[AwakeAtLast]

17. I will

I teach school and one of our Snow Days has to be made up on MLK Day, so it's a full week of school. I could take a personal day, but I have a convention that had been planned a year in advance on Thursday and Friday. I didn't feel I should be gone a third day.

I'll be sure to check out highlights on the news!

:hi:

[DarkTirade]

31. And I'm sure they'll be all over on TV and the internet.

:)

[madinmaryland]

18. My wife told me I had to stay home on the 20th and may pasta sauce.

I am obliging her. Also going to make some garlic bread!!

[TZ]

20. Look for me on TV!

I'm spending Monday night at my Uncles place on Capitol Hill..It will be a short walk for me down to the Mall...:)

[Tommy_Carcetti]

21. Yeah, I'll be streaming on the computer.

Better than nothing.

[DarkTirade]

32. That's how I'd end up watching it even if I am home.

:)

[BarenakedLady]

25. My school doesn't start until the 26th.

Which is just one more reason my CC owns your CC. :P

[DarkTirade]

27. Entirely possible.

In all likelyhood I'll be graduating with my 2 year degree next semester... I got no clue what I'm gonna do after that. I'll keep an open mind 'bout trying a different school in this area. :P

[EastTennesseeDem]

30. My last class is over at 12:25! ARGH!

Damn University of Tennessee. Republican to the very schedule builder.

[DarkTirade]

33. Mine's over at 2

but I don't know if I'll need to stay and buy books and whatnot, so I'm not sure what time I'll get home that day.

[leftyclimber]

34. I'll be on the bus during the inauguration.

I'll be teaching after that.

I'm Tivo-ing it.

[femmocrat]

35. I'll be working too.

Such rotten timing... We have a school cancellation tomorrow (bitter cold) and an inservice day on Monday, the 19th. Regular school day on the 20th. Damn.

I do have a TV in my classroom. I will have it on, but doubt if I will get to pay much attention to it. I will be taping it and hope to watch it the reruns on C-span.

[Marrah_G]

36. I'll be at work- we will probably listen to it on the radio

I'll probably bring in a bottle of champagne. (I have a cool liberal boss)
