Yeah, for all y'all who are skiing on this fine holiday, you suck!!! I expect full reports!!! Cubicles on holidays suck!!!
And...knee/leg injuries suck, too!! It just needs some time I think, but it's annoying!!
Bah!! That's all I have to say. I feel much better now :D
Sucks for me. I sliced my finger open cutting an english muffin. 8 stiches, but my tendon was not damaged.Quote:

I am a breakfast jong today.:mad:
I heard a guy this weekend refer to today as "James Earl Ray Day".....about the most racist thing I think I've ever heard...:mad:
Um, Im in Utah. What is Martin Luthur King Jr. Day?? :confused: :rolleyes: I do not like the fact that this state does not recognize this day more importantly.
Yes working on this day is not so fun. I work with federal/state/university agencies as well as large corporations across the country and no one is working. Im dead in the water. Good thing I got a doc appointment today so I can leave early.
I did have a killer time yesterday with a few buddies off the backside of Beaver Mountain, lots of vert and it was just us out there. Then I got home and the bug was not gone, so I hit my front yard for 4-5 runs and that was a blast as the snow was still 8-10" fluffy pow with a good base under, as it has not warmed up in the valley because of the inversion. Got air even!!
Back to data entry for today. :mad:
this does suck, badly.
bluebird day, and im sitting here, with one other guy in my office.
ive gotten like 2 calls in the past 4 hours, and i think im stuck until 5.
entertain me.
My company doesn't give us MLK Day off. We do get off the entire week between Christmas and New Years, so it's a little bit of a tradeoff. I think I prefer the full week, but that doesn't stop me from bitching about not getting any of the other hoildays off, as well :)
Don't like to hear that. What happened???Quote:

welp... i'm here at my desk... for now. the rumor mill says i may get the afternoon off, so my boots are staying warm under my desk as we speak, and the skis are in the truck.
keep yer fingers crossed, and i may get a few bumpalicious runs in @ MJ later...
"i can't say i've exactly been MISSING work, bob..."
Regarding the knee/leg thing.....I was at Kirkwood this weekend, and the snow was okay, but a bit hard. This particular groomer run had lots of bumps on it, so of course it was a good opportunity to try and get what little air I could. But all of the sudden I felt out of controll and kept hitting up bump after bump, going faster than everyone around me, and my left leg started "yelling" at me...and by the end of the run it just didn't feel so good. I kept skiing, because last time this happened, I actually skied away the pain! .....That night, I was at my brother's b-day party, practicing some dance moves (heh), and all of the sudden there was pain telescoping through from the bottom of my knee, down through my shins. I know, not too descriptive, but nevertheless I was laying on the couch the rest of the evening. The next morning, my leg was fine, but I still felt it if I squated down or tried jumping, or anything besides normal walking. So I didn't ski on Sunday. History = I twisted my knee pretty good last summer backpacking, and I think it's re-appearing for this ski season. I believe it just needs some time = one week, and then I'm skiing next weekend again. Bah!!
I had a dream, that I didn't have to work today...
Oh well.
my school applies the 3/5 rule to the holiday - no classes between 11 and 3. unbelievable...
At least yours recognizes it. Um, they close the Post Office on campus? "It's not a religious holiday". Though they do offer some lectures and such on the topic.
Though really, I'm not complaining. I would like to think that if I had the day off, I would somehow be observing it, but truthfully, I probably wouldn't.
the beer biz does not recognize this day :(
What about the MINI sticker biz?? Curious as to what is happnening.Quote:

At least they haven't promoted it as another big drinking day, a la St. Patrick's Day, Mardi Gras, and most recently Cinco de Mayo.Quote:

Confirmed, working on MLK sucks it hard.
Whiners. I've had one day off in the last twelve months-- Christmas Day.
The trick is finding a job with a flexible schedule so holidays, weekends and workdays flow seamlessly together!
Heh, this is one of the few holidays my university recognises, and I think it's only because MLK is an alum... ;)

Ahhh. Working.... I remember the days. The real trick is to get paid and not work :D
still here...and this board is DEAD today.
Everyone is out having fun witout me.
Ha, ha. That was pretty damn funny. Yes, working does suck, but there are trade-offs. A floater holiday when there are blue skies (or not) and deep snow as opposed to blue skies and bullet-proof.Quote:

and Crinkle was his name-O. Tele-commuting/working from home is a bitch:D :D
Hey, if it makes any of you feel any better, all my MANAGEMENT took today off, while I still had to work. Then they come in after their day off and bitch at us that if we don't get our training done now, they'll make us come in on our weekends to do it. And there's no effort to get us our holiday somwhere into our work schedule.
