At work, our fiscal year starts July 1. Yesterday we put on the party hats, sang Auld Lang Syne, and when the bosses looked at the bottom line, they we so pleased with what they saw that they gave us half a day off. Since our regular summer schedule already gives us Friday afternoon off*...it's a four day weekend, baby!
Before a meeting yesterday, somebody asked "So what's everybody got planned for the extra day off?" Around the table you heard
"I'm getting a hair cut."
"Some work around the house."
"I'm taking the car in for an oil change."
We do know how to party.
(My answer, of course, was "I'm going to sit in front of the computer making pointless blog posts until I realize, dammit, the day is almost over and I still haven't run my errands or cleaned the house!")
* In return for longer Mondays through Thursdays, of course...it's a good place to work, but not quite that good.
