"Labor Day"

According to my sources, today is one of those unusual mondays where classes are out, banks are closed, and a few lucky bastards are off of work. Of course, according to my watch, it is 7:35 in the AM, and let me check -- yep, I'm up and awake. Hmmm, this would seem to suggest that I get to work all day, like I worked yesterday, and the day before that, and so forth in to infinity. This is particularly sick, as I work typically work from home/coffeeshops. This is not as relaxed as a situation as one might imagine.

I have come to realize that I am my own Bill Lumburg. On friday, I noted to myself, "Hi, Nick -- what's happening. Um... I'm going to need you to come in on Saturday and Sunday, so if you could be up and coding by around -- uh -- 9 -- that would be great. Oh oh oh -- and I almost forgot, I'm going to need me to come in on Labor Day too... we've got a lot of projects going, and we're going to need to sort of play catchup. Thanks."

Now for all of ya'll that have taken time off to reflect on the meaning of "labor day", I have a short message for you: I'm on to you... I watch these games you play. Let me guess, you needed that monday on vetern's day off too so that you can reflect upon the sacrafices of our soldiers in war -- and, of course, drink lots of beer, go out to the lake, and maybe catch a movie.

No I am not bitter about this at all. I am perfectly happy, thank you.
