Gone but not forgotten: full length Monday work days.
If you've seen anything from me in the last 100 days, you know that I've been enjoying a countdown until the end of the world. And, in some odd way, there was a comfort in knowing that this was the last Monday I would have to leave the weekend behind and go to work.
Of course, should the apocalypse not go off as scheduled, I still was able to keep that sense of comfort today from knowing that my next full work Monday wouldn't be until Jan 28 -- we get out early on Christmas Eve Monday and New Year's Eve Monday, I have off on Ukrainian Christmas on 1.7 (not because I'm Ukrainian in any way [although I do love me some Klitschkos], but because that's my 41st birthday), I'm on my annual Retirement-Preview-Vacation in Florida on 1.14 and my company considers MLK Day as a paid holiday on 1.21 (even if my boss forgot to tell me that the first year I worked for them).
A full eight hours of Monday employment, you will not be missed.
BOTH MY BDAY AND THIS ARE ON 1.7:
