I hate Mondays

Would it cheer you up to know that tomorrow is President's Day in the U.S., Family Day in Ontario, and the annual Roast Beef Rememberance Holiday in the U.K.? ok - actually, I'm not sure about that last one...
Great. Well, I'll just talk to the dog then.

Dont you work at home? I just dragged myself into the office, I've got a bunch of emails to respond to and miles code to review, really really not in the mood.
Yeah, I do. All the more reason I rely on CP to give me some sort of social life.

Now that I am not working every day of the week ( or at least, putting in less than 16 hours on a Saturday or Sunday ), I hate Mondays all the more, because I am at work, and no-one else is, CP is awfully quiet b/c it's Sunday for most of the membership.

Don't sweat it. 90% of the US works on President's Day.

Given the number of folks employed by the Gummint on the Federal State and local levels, I suspect your estimate might be a bit high. At one point I consulted for the State of Connecticut. Their Monday holidays started Friday at 11:00 a.m. and ended Tuesday about 1:00 p.m.

What did you get up to on the weekend? Saturday my girlfriend went to her yoga for pregnant women class so I had the oportunity to get some stuff done. Three loads of washing washed, hung out, picked in, folded and put away. I'm in the process of paiting a couple of rooms at home so I sanded down the last coat of plaster where I'd replaced some render and washed the windows, door, ceiling and walls down with sugar soap. The roofer came and fixed some flashing, unblocked a downpipe and gave me some cleaver foam strips that go between the corrugated iron and flashing which I used on the back roof. I had a guy come and give a quote for a new wardrobe which seemed way to expensive for the cheap MDF prefab stuff they sell. Then she came home, we went and had lunch in a cafe by the harbour, walked around the marina and went home. Watched telly, Had a nap on the couch then she cooked lamb back straps which sliced up and made kababs with garlic yogurt, lettus and tomato. Sunday we went to pick up a cot and change table I bought from one of the guys here at work, went home, did more washing & dissapeared to the shed for an hour or so to work on a model aircraft. We went to look at lawnmowers then to look at baby clothes (I've no idea why as our mothers have already bought enough to outfit an army), had cake in a park by the water, went to my mothers to drop off the cot and change table as we dont have room for them at the moment. Then home again, watched cricket for a couple of hours, picked in washing, stacked the dishwahser, watered the lawn then to her mothers for dinner and home again in time to see the end of the cricket. My girl friend is away for work this week so Im on my own and want to get the painting finished. Tonight I'll try and undercoat the walls, get up early tomorrow to prime the window and other wood work, first coat on the ceiling and wood work tomorrow night, second coat wed night, first coat on walls thursday and finish it saturday. On saturdayI have to pull up the old floor boards in the two upstairs rooms, the electrician is comming to wire up some more power points then on sunday a mate is comming to help me put down a plywood sub floor. Once thats done we have someone comming to lay and polish new floor boards, then I can put in the new skirtings, paint them sort out the wardrobe and Im done.

Gosh - dunno why someone one voted you. Wow - sounds like you're busy. On the weekend, I took the kids to a pool that's in a country town in the middle of Tassie, did some coding, went to church, deployed an update to my web site, and finished another chapter of the book I am reading ( on the Roman occupation of Britain )

because those are their choices, not hers. You will have three armies worth getting everyone's opinion of what the child should wear. If you add your own, it will not diminish any of the three, it will simply add a fourth army's worth. :-D

As I explained to my step-son this morning. We all make choices in our own lives, sometimes we don't always understand the outcome of those choices. :) but we are still in control. at least until you get married... ;P
