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
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.

Must be nice. I can only think of one regionally assigned holiday in Illinois (Pulaski Day) and I don't even get that one off because I'm private sector now

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

But yes, only in Chicago would a Polak be honoured with his own day off

Might I ask how you are going to celebrate? Battle re-enactment perhaps?

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 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 )

I used to smoke, but I was always able to keep it away from others, when conditions allowed.

I pulled up at a light in the miata once, next to someone in an F150.

They tossed their cig out the window and into my car.

Bloody hell.

That never happened to me but one time I was smoking in my dad's car, rather pissed, and went to flick it out the window but missed and it came back in and went under my seat.

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.

One like this, but with go-faster spotlights on it and flared arches.
