A Day Off?

Sometimes I do things that make me feel really stupid! (I'm laughing as I say that, so it's not too bad.)

Anyway, I work for a bank now, and today is Martin Luther King Jr. Day. Somehow it never crossed my mind that I wouldn't be working today. And no one mentioned to me that we weren't working today. Nor did I overhear any comments like, "See you on Monday! Oh, wait, I mean, see you on Tuesday!" You know the normal stuff you hear before a long weekend like this...I just didn't catch any of that. And of course, I didn't think about it, so I didn't ask.

So I got up today like I normally do, and I got dressed and helped get the boys ready, and I grabbed my things and got in the car and drove to work. When I got to work, I noticed that the parking lot was empty. Oooooops..."oh, we must not be working today." I called my coworker to make sure and he verified that, yes, I am an idiot, and yes, we are not working today.

Never have I felt so happy to have a day off while simultaneously feeling so dumb about not knowing. But hey, I'm off today!
