Is today Monday?
I'm sitting at work at no one else is here.

Did we start getting Columbus Day as a holiday? OR maybe we're celebrating Canadian Thanksgiving Day and they forgot to tell me.

Weird.

2. Now, ya see Normie, Canadian Thanksgiving was established
to fall on Columbus Day, to coincide with the discovery of Canada by Columbus. See, Columbus was NOT looking for the New World, or cheap spices, or the like. No, he was actually looking for some good beer. See, Spanish beer really sucked back in those days. It got to where you had to set sail for new lands in hopes of finding some beer worth drinking. After sailing for months, Columbus stumbled upon the native Canadians, known as Hosers, brewing beer. And the rest is history. Columbus Day - Canadian Thanksgiving.


Seriously Richardo, where are your co-workers? That is weird, isn't it? Is your boss there?

4. Every time I see your little beagle I want to squeeze the crap out
of him! He's just adorable. I used to have a little lemon and white beagle (I inherited him when I split with the last ex-SO)and he was as cute as could be. He was also completely unsuited for being a house dog, so I had to find a different home for him.

Anyway, now that the bosses have arrived, you should probably start acting busy! :D
