Half of Presidents’ Day is dedicated to celebrating a slave owner
I voluntarily work it every year cause fuck that
(But really I like the slow day and I add extra days off at other points in the year to get the time back...)
In California we have Presidents' Day off as a state worker holiday, but we did choose to forgo Columbus Day in exchange for two floating holidays so there's that

I have never worked anywhere that closed for Presidents Day, or otherwise made it a work holiday of any kind.

It's one of our paid holidays. So double time and a half again tomorrow.
I get a good excuse to be late tomorrow because the commuter rail is on a Saturday schedule and i'm not making an earlier train than i normally do.
We're getting snow, too, and the company currently running the Commuter Rail lose their fucking minds when it snows.
I can't wait for their contract to be up at the end of this year.

Did that personality test
Hmmm... one of these things is not like the others, but it turns out I'm not worried about it.
Still, what's going on with that Extrovert score, that seems out of step with my expectation..
Oh, I still don't like people, I'm just the fucking wind-up tik tok Army of Oz when it comes to activity.
So yeah, poor with people, never feel bad, boundless energy... I'm not seeing much compelling evidence that I'm not a robot, here. Or possibly a sociopath.
Well still not heard back from that job inquiry and it's going on a week now if you count the weekend which, I guess you shouldn't. So five days. Anyway.
I don't know how long these things usually take but I'm getting a little antsy. Hopefully I'll hear something one way or the other this week and they don't just leave me hanging.

I like meeting new people, and experiencing new things, but my expectations for them are exceedingly low.
Also the bosses are going to present the remodelling plans for the office this week and I'm sure that everyone losing more than half a m² of desk space to make room for up to 20% more workplaces will go down smooth and will not overshadow all the other ideas.

Order the Jimmy John's sandwich 'the veggie' for my work lunch. Start eating and notice it seems a little bland? Check inside and there's no avocado spread. I did ask them to hold the may since I hate mayo, but they must have accidentally held the avocado, too. No biggie, I call them back to let them know. Teenage-sounding girl on the phone tells me they don't put avocado spread on the veggie anymore.
Me: Ah, you sure, it says that it has it on the website?
Her: Yeah we haven't done that for a while.
- a beat or two while I think this over -
Me: May I talk to a manager, please?
Her: Well, he's talking with a customer right now.
Me: Erm, but I'm a customer too, though?
Her: Well he's going to be a bit, do you want to wait?
Me: Yes.
So manager comes on and OF COURSE they include avocado spread on this sandwich. I even checked on the website to see if there was a way to 'add' avocado spread and there isn't because it's already on the sandwich (you can change the amount or remove it, but you can't just add it). But seriously teenage girl, did you really think JJ's was going to sell a Turkey Tom without turkey and still charge $5 for it?! I mean sure, they sort of do this with unwiches, but the central protein of the meal being missing tends to be something people notice!
I wonder how many Veggie sandwiches she's made for unsuspecting people without the avocado.

It is very nice for Kaiser to have an e-Visit appointment option so I can just get a general diagnosis at home. And, if need be, a doctor's note I hope.

Also I got a promotion since the last time I posted in this thread? It's a new team and the amount of stuff I have to do is low, so I'm using this opportunity to clear out a ticket queue I've always wanted to clear but my previous boss told me not to (because it belongs to another department). YOU AIN'T MY BOSS NOW, BRUV.

I've had itchy eyes all day and my brother said maybe it's hayfever, at which I scoffed derisively because it's freaking February. Only to learn that there is such a thing as winter hayfever, and the full hayfever 'season' runs from January to November. 11 months of the year is not a season! This is bullshit.
I've had itchy eyes and sneezing the last few days too. I thought maybe I'd kicked up some dust getting stuff down from the loft but I think it might have started before then. I do get awful hayfever in the spring and summer so maybe it's getting worse.

I disagree.

How quickly can you swallow and ...ahem...pass a golf ball?
It has taken me over an hour to convince the mapping system to show roads.

And no I don't have proof why would you ask that
I believe the preferred nomenclature is “hazard”.
Don't you also have 100 on this trustworthiness test? I guess I don't need any proof then.
Or are Belgian, apparently.
Well of course, that goes without saying.
Sat watching youtube with a mug of soup
Happy times
Clean eating is all the rage.
What flavour is your soup?
Tomato and herbz
It's good. Well it was. It's gone now.
I bought myself a tub of carrot, butternut, and ginger soup for lunch tomorrow. Soup is good.
Shockingly there were no other women. What a shock. Didn't see that coming.
It was still v interesting though.
Told a guy last week he needed to go home because he was coughing up a storm
Who is coughing up a storm today? Its meee
You should go home.
Im still shivering and uncomfortable but I can pretend I'm luxuriating!
