With ballet over, I thought I might actually have a break from bruises, aches & the like. No such luck. Caught my thumb in Jason's car door, banged my elbow off his aquarium, and my legs are strangely ache-y (fine when I wake up, bur walk anywhere, sit & then they hurt like heck!). Sigh.

My "favourite" co-worker is back. Already got pissy at us because neither of us did her mail distribution. Very loudly she said: "Fine, I'm not doing any mail for either of you." Um, well, you weren't before.

Yep, didn't miss her wheezing or her noisy flippy-floppy shoes. 179 days 'til the deadline. Is it too early to start counting that down?

Oddly enough, in spite of the general grumbliness above, I'm in a fairly good mood.

Raspberries always mean good moods.

I get today off, due to the US not wanting to waste a Federal Holiday on a Sunday, so am sitting and vegging out. Watching Alien from LA, one of my favorite MST3K episodes. Later today I am going to get a haircut.

...you can see why I don't talk about my social life on my LJ. ^^;;;

So mean, just rub it in that you have the day off. (Where do you work, anyway?)

I have a question: another friend (in the US) doesn't get the day off 'cause his company policy is that since it was on a Sunday, today's business as usual & they're SOL. In Canada, it's required to give another day when the holiday falls on a weekend. Is it not the same down there?

It's mostly the same, but it depends what you do. I work in insurance (I know, so glamorous), a general white-collar job. So we get the holiday, as do Federal and State workers. Folks in retail jobs, though, tend to be SOL as this is a big shopping day. And I think some businesses can declare it a workday, but they have to let their employees know in advance, i.e. when choosing holidays at the start of the year.
