Well, we decided quite late last night to wait until the morning to go home. Not that that mattered at all. Well, my arms seriously hurt from water skiing et al, and I have to work today, so that's unfortunate. It is nice, though, that I will be getting holiday pay through my union today, as well as getting double-time pay for working on a holiday. Too bad it's only 5 hours today, 'cause I could seriously sweep up. Speaking of holidays, what is "The Civic Holiday"? (No car jokes please. Unless that is actually what it is, although you'd have a hard time getting me to believe that.) My calendar informs me that August 2nd is "Bank Holiday" in Eire, Scotland as well as the cabbalistically acronymed NSW (New South Wales) and ACT (God Only Knows) territories of Australia. Here's the kicker. In NT (Northern Territories) of Australia, it's not "Bank Holiday", but the curiously antiquated "Picnic Day", strongly reminiscent of Period pieces on PBS and CBC in it's dowdier moments. These guys must be like Saskatchewan for us, eschewing Daylight Savings Time in order to gain some obscure economic advantage. Or maybe they fought a war over it, in which case, I won't call them on it. Anyways, that's it for now. I want to talk to some people later, so look for me on MSN after 7:00. Assuming this damnable virus doesn't preclude me from using the computer, see you then. Oh yeah, check this out. It's pretty good. Daily Dinosaur Comics
