Welcome to Labor Day weekend...

Woohoo! It's here. A legitimate 3-day weekend! Well, kinda. I will still be online for work, but I will not have to STAY online all day. Also, why the hell do they call it "Labor" day if nobody works? Yeah, yeah, it's an old joke, but I've yet to hear an answer. Frankly, dammit, I want one!!

Anyway, I am working from home today. Usually it's Thursday's but I took a 1/2 day for myself yesterday and today my son had a dental appointment. So instead of starting home, then having to shut it all down, pack it up, only to take him to school then trekking into the office to unpack, only to repack again at the end of the day, I asked my supervisor (and she graciously said yes) to let me work from home today. So I was online at 7, worked until 8, then got back at 10 and right back to work. Will be here all day, hopefully will be a fairly quiet day. It's actually been fairly quiet all week, which is scary. Waiting for the explosion.

Played poker Wednesday night. Had a great start. Flopped quad J's, managed to suck almost 2 grand out of an opponent. Then caught trips from a small blind, which I played without looking at my cards until the turn. Unfortunately, those were the only highlights. I got moved to another table, went all in, lost and left. Hopefully going this weekend again. Then I'll probably be done until next year.

Have a safe and wonderful holiday weekend everyone!
