Dang it ...


The batteries in my wireless mouse just died. Apparently I'm going out on my lunch break to buy a pack of batteries.


Until then - I'll have to deal with my company issued corded mouse that actually goes with my computer. It feels weird to use it - and I'm sure I'm going to tangle the cord in a million things before lunch! :) Oh well ... early lunch break it is! Maybe I'll get some unhealthy food while I'm out!

You are working on Good Friday? Wow. Here in Canada it's a statutory holiday. Not even the grocery stores are open...

[whiteink]

Yup - I'm at work. Everything is open here in the states. Post offices, banks, etc. It's not a national holiday, so work doesn't stop. Welcome to living in a secular country. I'm sure some places are closed, but it's at the choice of the business owners.

Heck ... we have people coming in tomorrow to work some overtime. Business doesn't stop for religious holidays in the U.S.

(And I'll stop here before I get on my soapbox and start ranting.)

The only place I know of that is closed today is a pie shop I deliver the paper to. Has a sign out front that says "McMillian's Pie Shoppe will be closed Good Friday. Have a Happy Day."

But that is a little private bakery.. The lady that runs it even lives in the back. So it was a personal choice.
