Want to have a good laugh at my expense?

So, it's 8:30AM and there's nobody else at work besides me.

Walked to Mattapan station in 19 degree weather to take the Mattapan-Ashmont trolley. I got to the Cambridge office bright an early at 7:00AM.

Normally, I have breakfast with the early birds at 8:00AM, but nobody has arrived yet...

On a hunch, I decide to check the holiday schedule...

Sure enough, it's MLK day and an official company holiday. :blush:

I'm heading home now; another one and a half hour commute in freezing weather.

Oh well, see you in about two hours... :hi:

:rofl:

I made a few peole laugh. :hi:

I made my bf call his boss last night to see if he had today off. Alas, he doesn't and has to go in.

Hope the day goes quick.

I told him to leave half an hour early.

I did laugh a little bit. I hope you get home quick.

No long waits for the T today. Yay! :bounce:

I'm frozen, though.

separate from President's Day in Mass? The best one is Bunker Hill day which is a bank holiday in only PART of Boston.

enjoy rest of day and stay warm

But no Lincoln's Birthday.

I finally updated the calendar so that I won't blow it again... :hi:

we got a banking holiday every 15 days..back then the Feds had not declared national days off for Columbus Day, MLK, President's Day ...

he needed to take his car in to the shop, and asked me to drive my car up to bring him home. So we go out to get in the car, he hops in the passenger seat and I put the key in the ignition and said: "umm, if you need to leave your car @ the shop don't you think you should drive it there?"


we both nearly killed ourselves laughing.


we call that pulling a Dorothy..my mom (Dorothy) went tearing out of the house on a snowy morning to walk up to the Post Office and mail some letters. The cat sneaked into the house when she opened the door, so she scooped up the cat, locked the door, tucked the cat under her arm and tossed the mail down in the snow.

have a good day! :hi:

and a belated welcome to DU, though your post count is getting up there!

:hi:

I switched an axle in a friend's bicycle wheel, I ate some lunch, then the dogs and I went to the park.

Soon, my thread count will get high enough that people will actually take me serious!! :woohoo:

It reminded me of a friend of mine down in Texas who, while driving down the freeway, lit a cigarrete with his butane lighter, shook the lighter to put out the flame, and tossed the GOLD lighter out the window...

And I've done more embarrassing stuff than that, too.

I just think life is too short to take it seriously.

Sometimes you just have to laugh. :rofl:

:hug:
I hope you stopped somewhere on the way home, just for kicks...

I actually got a chance to catch up on crossword puzzles and sudoku on the 'T'.

I have been falling behind because I've been reading a book instead.

It was bitterly cold today; I said it was 19, but it was actually 14.

So it was good to get home, have some lunch with an extra helping of chili oil to warm me up.

:hug:
