Good Friday

So today's Good Friday. For 12 years, it was my favorite holiday. Why? Because the stock market is closed, so it was a paid holiday at work. Meanwhile, the banks and most other businesses were open. I enjoyed doing shopping and other errands while other people worked.

Now I'm at a company that observes "MANY of the same holidays as the NYSE" instead of ALL. So it's back to working on Good Friday again. Bah humbug.

On the other hand, my boss now telecommutes every Friday. That kinda gives me a good Friday every week!

TGIF

Nice sunny day. I worked really hard this morning trying to get SyncSort to handle a truncation issue. Success! Woohoo!

Midmorning I got a coffee at the Fremont/Howard Starbucks. Sat and relaxed for a bit. Saw an employee trying to figure out if someone was occupying the bathroom. He opened the door to find a woman passed out on the floor. Opening the door seemed to wake her up. He got his manager, "I think, um, maybe we need to call 911." The manager came and took a look. She didn't say much. Left the person to their own devices in the bathroom. Several minutes later, the manager sat down near me with a new employee and was going over some company information. Meanwhile, no one has checked on the woman in the bathroom for awhile. I got up to leave and interrupted the manager to ask about the woman. "Oh, I've called the ambulance. Why? Do you need to use the bathroom?" LOL.

Got lots more done in the office. At 1pm we get an email stating that we can go home early since it was Good Friday. Wow! I left work in a cheerful mood.

I stopped in for lunch at The Cove. The stopped in at Starbucks. Came home and brought in the trash bins.

Now I've got a free afternoon. Hmmmmm. Think I'll nap and then figure out what to do. If only Steve were home!

I did manage to make plans for Saturday. Turns out that Peggy needs volunteers to help with her C1 class over in Pleasant Hill. That'll take up most of the day. Maybe I'll just go directly from there to the Lone Star and then to work Bearhug at 7pm.
