All of these little girly office people get the day off today, while we grunts have to be at work. So who else is stuck today? Get overtime?

I'm here 12am-6am, 12pm-5pm. What sucks is that I can't go home at 6am because of the damned parade infront of my house. They'll have my road blocked off this morning. Then when I go home to go to sleep, they'll have fireworks a block or so away.

Maybe I can sue someone. ;)

So who else is at work? Why?

It's ok. All of my holidays are like this. I worked 17 hours on Thanksgiving and like 19 hours on Christmas.

No, MeanMosh, we have so little money that I doubt we could afford to have both TVs in the station on at the same time. We're broke as a joke.

I'm a manly office worker that's off today :)

State jobs, especially for civil engineers, rule!

See you guys really shouldn't have to work today. It's not your fault that people can't buy their whatevers on Thursday, and so have to work because of it.

no one wants to work on the holidays but everyone assumes that their favorite restaurants will always be open =)

Well, some people have to work. Radio (me), TV, gas stations, some stores, hospitals, emergency services, etc.

I don't really expect restaurants to be open, but I can see why they'd want to be. I may take advantage of their openess soon, especially there deliverabilityness.

I have to deliver pizzas today. Nobody is going to be buying pizzas, since everyone is going to a cookout, but for whatever reason they need me to be there just in case some reject who doesnt have any cookout to go to decides to get hungry.

Hey damn you, I'm going to order pizzas!

They're probably listening to the radio, so we're even.

Me, but then again I'm Canadian. :D

I'm having a nice relaxing day as most of our firms clients are American.

I normally work Wed-Sat, but offered to work today if I could take tomorrow off. So I have four days off in a row! :D

6-11 at Papa John's. Still trying to figure out if a lot of people will order pizza or if everyone will just grill hamburgers and hot dogs and it will be like a normal Friday night. I don't think we even get time-and-a-half... :|
