Just work for your niece when she gets out of school and starts her own business then. :mrgreen:

Where have I heard that before?? :beaten: :sweat: :bonk:

It is for us too: President's Day.

But I don't get the day off... Only schools and government offices like the Post Office. :puppydog:

President's Day? Kinda weird that only gov. jobs get it off, tho.

This will be the only year we'll get Family Day off as teachers. By some law, students have to be in school for a certain number of days in a year, so next year they'll add a day to the end to make up for Family Day. :grumble:

Unfortunately, yes. He's actually a year or 2 older than me.... his oldest is 18.

He often drives his younger daughter to soccer training in Sydney (about 1 hour away - she is a champion soccer player, will probably play for Australia one day) - has a smoke before he goes, has one while he's there.

:shakehead: He's such a great role model.

Yeah. Presidents day. It's like the one thing we Americans are thankful to the presidency for. :hehe:

And Family Day sounds amusing. I wonder how many kids will really hang out with their parents though. If I were them, I'd rather hang out with my friends. :mrgreen:

It's not a bad idea, though...

But it's three years away. :sweat:

Three years isn't that far away. ...Wait, are you talking about you working there or me? :confused:

Maybe both of us. :beaten:

Cool! So are you gonna answer the phone or adjust the glasses? :mrgreen: :hehe:

Oh, and 3 years wouldn't be so bad. My boss might retire by then. :sweat:

Speaking of retirement, the waitress at my fave sushi place said that her dad was going to retire in another 5-6 years and close the restaurant... :sweat:

I've been going there since it opened... Back in April '88. :sweat:

Whew, it took a while, but the missing assembly hardware from the DVD rack that I bought online a month ago finally showed up. :sweat: :grumble:

Actually, that would mean he stayed in business 25 years which is a long time for a restaurant. Most are lucky to last 25 days. :beaten: [/list:u]

I find it annoying that as great an individuals as George Washington and Abraham Lincoln have had their birthdays made completely generic. The third monday in February. What is up with that? :grumble:
I'll bet alot of people now dont even know whose birthdays are being celebrated or when the actual date was.
Apparently Im not the only one it bothered.

At any rate, the man who singlehandedly kept the American forces fighting in the Revolutionary war celebrated his birthday on Feb 22.
And Lincoln's is on Feb 12th. :applaud: :applaud:
Happy Birthday!! :woot:

They just recently closed Lenge, the Japanese restaurant I went to since I was a kid in NYC. One block from Mom's. It was there 35 years. :puppydog:
