Who doesn't have to work on Monday?

[JackBeck]

Poll question: Who doesn't have to work on Monday?

My office will be closed on Monday. Damn, liberal non-profit and such. But my husband has to work. He works in retail. So what about you, my fellow DU friends?

[bigwillq]

1. I don't have to work.

:bounce:

:hi:

[JackBeck]

3. Lucky you.

My husband's kind of jealous. He wants to :spank: me cause I get to stay home.

[bigwillq]

5. Let him

:spank: you! ;) :P


I am off and going up to see my man! YAY!

[JackBeck]

8. YAY!

:spank: :spank: :spank:

[edbermac]

2. Me!! And the Patriots won as well today!

Tomorrow I will sleep the sleep of the just.:7

[JackBeck]

4. Congratulations!

I'm more of a baseball fan, but my BIL is still devastated that his Eagles are no longer in the running.

[Cannikin]

6. I have to work.

:(

[JackBeck]

7. What do you do?

And sorry you have to work.

[Cannikin]

57. I'm a physical therapy tech for a neurologist.

[Skittles]

9. me too, I work all holidays

I like it, because every asshole is off

[JackBeck]

32. Who are you calling an asshole?

I'm off tomorrow, buddy.

:hi: :rofl:

[Skittles]

41. no no no darling

I didn't say eveyrone who is off is an asshole, just that ALL ASSHOLES are off - you know, the WORTHLESS people!!! :D

[JackBeck]

42. I know you didn't mean no harm.

Just playin'.

Lots of love from here all time. :hug:

[Skittles]

47. thanks

I just love going to work knowing I will not received 80 emails, at least 70 of which will be total nonsense sent by people who think their emails justify their existence at work!!!

[kedrys]

10. I have to work

but if I should get there and find out I get the day off, I will be very happy indeed! :D

[JackBeck]

17. Wouldn't that be a welcome surprise!

[GenDem]

11. I don't have to work - teacher here

We're getting hit with the storm. There are winter storm warnings posted... probably a strong possibility of a snow day, anyway. :shrug:

[JackBeck]

18. Would school have been closed anyway for the holiday?

I can't remember if we had off for Martin Luther King, Jr. Day or not. I think we were.

[GenDem]

23. Yes, it is closed anyway for MLK Day

but my thought process can be convoluted. We are expecting a storm....and "if" it was a regular old Monday (not MLK Day)....we may have gotten a snow day. So, I'm thinking that the storm is ripping me off because it came when I have the day off anyway. Not that I don't like being in the classroom, but snow days are always these little mini surprise vacation days.

[JackBeck]

30. I understand.

They are mini surprise vacation days for the students as well. You always feel robbed when it massively snows on a pre-determined holiday.

[Nicole]

12. Other: I never work

Go me. :woohoo:

[JackBeck]

19. Lucky you.

Enjoy another day off from work.

:hi:

[Nicole]

22. Thanks

:hi:

[Nikia]

13. I have to work

I work at a food processing plant that is privately owned.

[JackBeck]

21. Sorry.

My guy has to work tomorrow as well. And when I bartended, I didn't have ANY holidays off. Even the "biggies" like Christmas and Thanksgiving.

[Pavulon]

14. Dont have to but going in to get stuff

done in peace and quiet. late of course, in jeans, and not going to shave..

[JackBeck]

24. Smart man.

I wish I had that type of motivation. If I don't gotta go, I'm not gonna go.

;-)

[KitchenWitch]

15. Kids are off from school, so I will be putting in triple time.

[JackBeck]

25. Yes you will, to say the least.

You will definitely have your hands full. My manny services are at your beck and call if you live in Jersey.

[KitchenWitch]

55. Oh Crap! I am in California!

That is way too far!

[mdmc]

16. I don't have to work my 40 hour per week job

but I do need to work my 15 hour per week job.

I live in a $22.00 per hour "living wage" area. The minimum wage is only $7.15 here. I make about 13.04 per hour in human service.

[JackBeck]

27. Here's some hugs.

:hug: :hug: :hug: :hug:

I hope you know I wasn't gloating. Just happy to have the day off. I bartended for about 8 years and never even had any holiday off. I can't tell you how much it sucks to work Christmas or Thanksgiving.

[BarenakedLady]

20. Well since I don't have a paying job...I guess I technically don't have work

However, having three children (9, 6, and 5) home from school to care for I'm pretty sure I will still be working my ass off.

[JackBeck]

29. I'm sure you will be.

Quite a handful you've got there my friend.

As I said to someone earlier, my manny services are yours to take advantage of tomorrow if you live in Jersey. And have a car. And can pick me up.

[BarenakedLady]

33. Oh I so wish

Alas I'm a bit too far North West for that. But I would certainly take you up on the offer if I could. :)

[JackBeck]

34. It was worth a shot.

:hi:

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

26. I have to work at my full-time job but not at my part-time job.

[JackBeck]

35. I hope you get to enjoy

any time off that you can. I'll be home alone while the hubby takes the reigns.

:silly:

[swag]

28. I don't have to work, but I am working.

The US stock market is closed tomorrow, so we have the day off, but I am going into work because, as Sister Souljah might put it, I experience psychological discomfort at the thought of celebrating the birthday of a black man who tried to teach white people the meaning of civilization.

No, really, I just have to do some shit on the network that I can't do when anybody else is working.

Happy Martin Luther King, Jr. day, everyone.

Here's my Martin Luther King, Jr. story: When I was in first grade in 1967 in Black Earth, Wisconsin, my teacher Mr. Foss asked who in the class knew who Martin Luther King, Jr. was. Nobody raised their hand, so Mrs. Foss instructed us all to go home and ask our parents who Martin Luther King, Jr. was.

I, being good compliant adoring student of Mrs. Foss, went home and asked my mom who Martin Luther King, Jr. was. Mom, who was making dinner and doing something at the sink answered, "Oh, he's a riot starter."

So when Mrs. Foss asked the next day who Martin Luther King, Jr. was, my hand shot up first . . .

[JackBeck]

36. What a great story.

My parents were die-hard Reagan Republicans. They're not with us anymore but you can only imagine the stuff I spewed in their honor as a kid attending public school.

[gristy]

31. Not sure

I'll show up. If no one's there, I'll come home.

[JackBeck]

38. So it's not a pre-approved holiday?

I've been told I have the day off. What about you?

[gristy]

59. Didn't appear to be a holiday

Most everyone was there, anyways, so I stuck and around.

It's a good job. :)

[dropkickpa]

37. I'm off, work @ a university

so me and Dropkid are going to the museum :woohoo: It's so seldom that I can do things like this with her, I'm probably more excited than she is!

[JackBeck]

40. Have a great time and I hope

the little buddy has just as much fun as you.

:thumbsup: :hi: :hug:

[SeattleGirl]

39. I can work or not, as I choose.

But I'm going to work, as I have several new cases that I want to get going on.

[JackBeck]

44. Motivation works for you.

Not me. I don't need to be there so therefor I'll be home hopefully streaming Stephanie Miller at a reasonable time.

[SeattleGirl]

45. Well, my office is in my house, and unless I'm on the phone, I

can listen to AAR or music all day.

[JackBeck]

46. I'm just as fortunate.

My job lets me wear headphones.

Yet I choose to wear only one earplug in my right ear. Fellow co-workers ask why and I tell them that my left ear hears the gossip.

[Common Sense Party]

43. I start a brand new job tomorrow.

Sort of. Actually, going back to work for a previous employer.

[JackBeck]

49. I used to dread Monday holidays.

When I bartended. I always had to work. So the holidays meant nothing to me. I hope you still have a good day nonetheless.

:D

[montanto]

48. not me!! sorry. nt

[JackBeck]

50. No apologies necessary.

I've got the day off, as well. I'll be awake early, I'm sure. And tuning into Steph for some comfort.

[Manifestor_of_Light]

51. i don't have a job

I am unemployed and have been unemployed for a long time (Since the clinton years) due to the destruction of the educated middle class. I have renamed my unemployment "real early retirement".


I'm gonna stay home and practice the piano, work on my chops!! They're rusty!! Learn some new music.
Besides here it's cold and rainy and not frozen yet, but it will be before long.

Good sleeping weather!!

[JackBeck]

52. Definitely good sleeping weather here as well.

I just woke up. Even though the cat wanted me up hours ago. Still groggy, but I'll be in focus soon enough.

[tigereye]

53. kid is home, but I do need to get some writing done -

consultants often have to work some on "days off" anyway!

[JackBeck]

54. I prefer working from home.

I get to do that from time to time with my job. Enjoy your day!

:hi:

[tigereye]

56. I sometimes miss office gossip

but it's very nice to be able to nap, or websurf, or call friends, or go shopping when you want to. :hi:

have a nice day, yourself!

[bigwillq]

58. Hi Jack!

You around?

:hi:
