The Long Haul

My company is one of those that recognizes Martin Luther King, Jr. Day as an official holiday, so to me, it marks the end of the multi-holiday season. Thanksgiving (and the day after), Christmas, New Year's, and MLK all come in rapid succession. It's almost as if the four-day week were the norm, with a few longish five-day weeks interspersed.

That illusion ends now, as those of you who don't get MLK off (and if you're not a government-related employee — isn't there, like, a day a month at least?).

For us, the next company-wide day off is Memorial Day. That's 18 weeks away.

Or, put differently, 125 days — that's over 1/3 of the year from now!

At least it's only 88 more work days, after today.

Hang in there!

  1. You do such a nice job of explaining beautifully how far away MDay is. Let me guess...you're a poster child for The Power of Positive Thinking???
