My grand plan of taking it easy yesterday backfired – this morning I am more sore than I was on Friday. I hemmed and hawed about going to work but ultimately decided I would be pretty useless so I didn’t go in. Then I felt really guilty about it, so I got up anyway and started working. A few dozen emails in, I looked at the clock and realized it was after ten am and I hadn’t heard from anyone – huh? No one is on MSN, my emails are going unanswered, and the four people I tried to call did not pick up. Just great. I take one header on my scooter and wind up in the ER, and the next thing I know the space station has imploded and everyone is dead.
I called a few more people before I finally woke up our lead astronaut and found out – today is a holiday. I mean, I know it’s Easter Monday, but on this side of the world we get Good Friday off and Easter Monday is a regular work day unless you’re crazy and in Quebec. I don’t think I’ve *ever* gotten Easter Monday off before, hence my confusion. Sure ‘nuff though, our space station is closed. Wacky! I think I’ll go back to bed and stop feeling guilty that I am not downtown, and glad that my fellow astronauts are not space zombies.

BIZARRO! I’M HELPING!
That’s awesome! Today is not a holiday for me :( Nor was it when i was in school.
Say Brandt, usually CU Fullerton is the target of MAD TV, from the rep of Orange Country back when it was CSF. Is it now more upbeat? I attended as the token freak for two years in the late sixties… we also had one token Black, and nobody on campus understood what Frank Zappa was playing.
But I had geek cred.. not only was I in the computer centre at all hours, as an operator and programmer, but my donation to The Cause was a popular program that would shoot out banners in large type ( up to 14″ high” ) letters printed sideways on 18″ wide line printer paper at such a high speed that part-time protesters could be in and out in seconds with no one the wiser.
Damn, I had to work today too, but that’s normal in Alberta.

I want Easter Monday off too :(
It took me entirely too long to realize what just happened…
I just totally google imaged that; I’m actually at UT Austin, where there’s so many people that nobody cares what you say or think! :>
