Happy Patriots' Day!

[yendi]

Yes, it's the holiday so great, it's only celebrated in two and a half states.

So, if I'm off from work, why am I up so early?

1. My body's used to it.

2. The felines don't recognize holidays.

What about Caturday?

[yendi]

Every day is Caturday!

My workplace is not on the marathon route, so we don't get the day off.

[yendi]

Ours isn't on the route, either, but we still get the day, for whatever reason.

I used to have Patriots day off here in austin (when I worked for lotus), but they became IBM and adopted the IBM offdays.

If the New England Patriots get a day off, it should be January 18th. 'Cause it's 18/1. (European date names FTW!)

Oh, different patriots.

There's a Patriots' Day?

[yendi]

Yep: See here.

I hadn't realized it, but it makes sense that a MA-based company would have the day off, no matter where the branches are.

[yendi]

Heh.

Speaking of happy...

We miss out on all the fun down here. :P

Mine isn't even on the same side of the Charles, and we get it off. My theory is that everyone likes a day off of school, so academia always gives you even the more obscure holidays.
