Today is Presidents’ Day. A lame ass holiday that has lost its meaning. More evidence of people being afraid to offend anyone. As a kid we had Washington’s and Lincoln’s birthdays. Celebrated on their birthdays. Nixon made them both a Friday holiday, as if they were born on a floating date. Then our fearless leaders got rid of the birthday concept and the holiday is now (nameless) Presidents weekend. This is not progress.
In spite of my rant, this is the current state of affairs. So I have a holiday. In my office we celebrate it by going to work. So today I went to work immediately after breakfast. Although, not before I went to town for coffee ( note to self, get a new coffee grinder)for everyone.
Everyone else stayed home to unpack more. Glad I went to work.
I arrived just in time for my first appointment. After which I had an appointment every hour on the hour till the last one left at 4pm. Talking for hours and hours is miserably tiring. But it’s what I do. For the last couple hours I managed some work. And the last thing I did was go online to quickly order a coffee grinder. Ya, quick. I had already found a place so went to the site, placed the order, hit the button, and credit card rejected. I tried again, must have made a mistake. Had same outcome. Called the bank. Found someone alive there. That person transferred me to fraud dept. They went through therebusual bullshit to ID me. Asked me too many questions and then determined my purchase wasn’t fraud. Morons. I hate them. Back to website and my charge went through.
Now I left for home. Got a call on the way home, Emily told me to go to Taco Tree and pickup dinner. Ok. No problem. It took about 35 minutes to get to TT. The place is a dump. A worn out looking fast food joint I think. I ordered anyway.
Back home in five. Brought the food in. We ate with gusto. Food was food though their salsa was really bad. Don’t really care. It was very cheap too.
Not much after dinner. Em has to be up by 530 so we all went to bed.
