I'm glad I've got an extra day. ;) I'm working today because of the two day strike.

First Sunday of the year, double time baby!

They really should do that, like make it a national holiday or something where no one does any work....That would be freakin awesome. Or at least just cancel class.... (guess that doesnt really work for sunday......)

No, it's the year the civil war starts in the US, right?

I'm digging the extra day, even if it really is just the result of a somewhat half-assed calendar system.

I have a coworker who's wife is pregnant and due in a couple weeks. Sad thing is doctor said she's ready to be born right now and unless she pops out they are doing a c-section today! A planned birth on 2/29. I bet the doctor is just doing it for a joke. :beer::D

Well, if your birthday is on the 29th then you shouldn't be reading this post! Go out and celebrate!

Damn Leapyears. Like the IRS, the world takes a 1/4 day from you all every year and then 'gives' you a day every 4. What kind of deal is that? I think I could better invest my 1/4 days every year then they do. I could have 8 days where I sleep in an extra hour each year. Those would come in handy many - a - monday.

OK, while I'm being crazy, how about a metric time system?

;)

In a matter of speaking...
