I have the day off from work, planned to drive a couple of hours to go visit my parents, but as I was getting the car ready this morning my back went out (happens occasionally, old injury).
So now that I'm stuck at home I decided to start working on my viking spear. Anyone else got the day off? Doing anything interesting with the day? |
|
Yep, day off. Went to wife's sonogram this morning and now just playing on computer.
|
|
I have never had mlk day off
Nor have I ever received any special pay rate for working mlk day - even when I was a shift supervisor |
|
I have the day "off" but I am actually really busy with work, so it's meaningless.
|
|
Got a load of feed
Moved some game cams. Went to the dump. Rebuilt old OB carb. But I'm off most Mondays, work 4 10s. |
|
Yep, first time I’ve gotten it off ever. I’m up at the local indoor clay R/C track practicing.
|
|
There are banks around here that aren't even closed
I guess that's the trade off when your state celebrates Robert E Lee day |
|
Yup.
Did some maintenance on the vehicles. Payed my quarterly taxes. Took the dogs for a walk. Doing laundry now and will fire up a PC game here in a bit and relax. |
|
No, I'm a white guy and that would be cultural appropriation, which is racist.
Only the black guys I work with got the day off. |
|
Yes. Got rid of a bunch of tree limbs in my back yard. Now I'm just shitposting.
|
|
I'm off work today because I'm sick and waiting on Covid test results.
|
|
Oddly enough, my super woke employer actually has us working today.
There was no shortage of corporate emails about how we should reflect on the year and dedicate ourselves to social justice though. |
|
I have every day off. Organizing my shop and identifying stuff to jettison.
|
|
Yes. It’s our D&I day for this year. I’m sure it replaced Veteran’s Day or something trivial.
|
|
Yes. State gub-ment worker here. All your BS holidays are belong to us. We even get Truman's Birthday off. Guess my state...
|
|
Smoking a Boston Butt while I handle work shit via phone on my "day off".
|
|
Day off for what?
working men work mon-fri and sometimes Sat too. |
|
Yeah, but not because of the holiday. I don't work bankers hours.
Wife worked overnight and is still snoozing. Been writing game code all morning, working on a turn based controller. When she wakes up we're going to buy pants, since I DO have to work the rest of the week, and evidently need nicer ones. |
|
|
Just my fucking mail carrier with my shotgun bead.
Because he was too stupid to recognize a mail slot on Saturday. |
|
|
Yup, just like every other day. Made a pot of chili/with beans and just started a loaf of sourdough bread to compliment
the chili with beans. Just for clarification, pinto, kidney and white northern and 2lbs of top round steak. |
|
I assumed I had the day off when I went to sleep. when I woke up I double checked and found out I didnt :(
|
|
Quoted: Work? View Quote An awful word isn't it? I actually find work to be my vacation...when I am not working something just feels off... I like getting things done, makes me feel like the day was worth getting up for. Today was shopping stock up day which I do every 3 weeks, got some stuff cleaned, worked on an art project and wasted the rest here. |
|
Yep , took the family to breakfast and then did some house projects.
|
|
|
No, worked. And happy made x2.5 doing that.
Wish I could've worked a double shift for a weeks pay in 1 day. |
|
Yes.
A few months ago after the BLM BS started my work sent out a revised 2021 paid holiday calendar and low and behold MLK day had been added. |
|
Was supposed to, but my company asked for us to work today because of volumes.
|
|
I fully expected more companies that did not observe the holiday before to observe it this year.
