I'll be going in to work today or tomorrow, then back to work on Monday - we're now into one of the long periods without any company holidays. The next day off is in May.
Saturday and Sunday seem to be the only days when I can really get anything done on my own projects at work. The engineering department is too busy handling all the technical production issues that come up, because in the last 5 years, our company has gone from having maybe 12+ people with good technical skills and a good work ethic down to 4. Of that group, 1 is often tied up doing his manager stuff, and another is usually stuck doing low-level CAD work. So we've really got only 2 full-time technical people: the engineers.

There was a quote here a couple years ago that was roughly "We know we have truly put race behind us as a nation when we treat MLK Day with the same disregard we do all the other national holidays. This year I received a spam email from Marriott advertizing "Make the most of your MLK break with a Marriott get away!" so we can check off that box on our national to-do list.

I'm working today. Maybe hiking tomorrow if the rain holds off.

today, watching the first 2 episodes of "The Firm". also, deciding what goodies i'll be baking either tomorrow or Monday....and what meals i'll be cooking this upcoming week.

if it doesn't rain Monday, my guy & i will do a walking tour of one of the historic districts here in the city. :awe:

and oh yeah, hopefully writing post (with PICS!) about the National Civil Rights Museum (where MLK was assassinated) too.

It is definitely racist to dishonor the memory of MLK with collard greens.

 

[schneiderguy]

What the hell is a 'MLK' and why the hell would anyone consider it to be worthy of it's own holiday ?

 

[brianmanahan]

What the h*** is a 'MLK' and why the h*** would anyone consider it to be worthy of it's own holiday ?

go learn you some american history: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martin_Luther_King,_Jr.

also reported

Because Martin Luther King changed our nation for the better without the violence that usually comes about when a repressed minority has taken all it is willing to stand.

exactly, he was like the ghandi of america

Going to work. MLK Day isn't a real holiday.

It most certainly is. The man was a great dude. People were pissed enough to rise up and kill him.

No employer gives every holiday off.

When you change the world or win a Nobel Prize, then you can throw those kind of stones. Based on most of your posts, you aren't packing much in that department.

WTF is wrong with ATOT?

The man won a Nobel Peace Prize. You should be ashamed of yourself.
