Yeah, and by extension, just one day closer to the start of the next week.
Randomly assigned significance to arbitrarily assigned temporal markers really does awaken my inner dickhead. Exactly. Plus they're completely pointless most of the time as they come on Friday morning anyway so while it is, in fact, Friday, you still have eight hours of work to do so STFU and get on with it :D |

Oh btw, did I tell you that Monday was a holiday for me, day off for San Jacinto Day you know celebrating a battle is always a good excuse for a 3 day weekend.;)
I'm not bothered, I have a week off coming up in June when my parents are out and a long weekend in August. That'll keep me going until my two mental health days in September to use up my last days off before they reset on my anniversary :D |

What a great state Illinois is! :)
But yes, only in Chicago would a Polak be honoured with his own day off :D |

When you have your window open to enjoy the nice breeze coming in and some inconsiderate arsehole decides to smoke a fag right under it.

That would be my next door neighbour. In his late 20's/early 30's, stands outside at all times of the day and night, coughing up a lung - make that both lungs - smoking like the proverbial chimney.
I used to smoke, but I was always able to keep it away from others, when conditions allowed. |

I don't care that they're smoking as such, just that they're doing it by my window (by someone else's and I wouldn't have an issue :p)

He didn't let me smoke in his car anymore after that (though he was quite happy to steal my fags ...) |

I tried tossing one out of the car window once and managed to burn myself because the window was closed at the time. That was in my dads Datsun I think... Or possibly the Cortina. Oh yeah, We were high rollers. :D |
