The kids don't have to go to school but I have to work.

Mine had to go to pre-school.  But his class was half-empty.  I'm guessing either those parents had the day off themselves & kept the kids home or assumed the school followed the state's vacation schedule.

Anywho, I have to work but MLK day is always a nice day to come in since almost all our customers are closed.  With no prospect of Norma Jean from Podunk Federal Credit Union calling & bugging me over something I trained her on 2 years ago & that she's not supposed to be calling me for anyway, I can actually get some work done.

I'm off today, but Monday is just one of my normal days off (the other is Thursday).  That's the bad thing about working in retail--except for Christmas day itself, you can expect to work most holidays.

Having Thursday as one of my normal days off comes in handy at Thanksgiving, though, and having Monday off means that I get a lot of the federal holidays off as well, though of course I don't get the 3-day weekend that federal employees get.

Pfft, I work for Corporate America.  We don't have enough black employees.  It's a Monday.

I'm in corporate America. At my level we've 3 black kids to 2 white people. Used to be 4 to 1 before we shipped that guy to London. :P

Tell me about it. Hate it when the windshield fluid nozzle on my wiper blades freeze up and everytime I use them I just smear white shit all over my windshield.

Is Toronto cold this week?

No, it's warming up. My problem was from the weekend when it rained on Friday morning and then dropped to -16 on Saturday...so all the rain turned to ice.
