It’s Labor Day. I got 100% caught up on my work yesterday, so today…I’m going to hop into bed and read a book or two.
Later. Go away.

BTW PZ, I have ordered a couple of books for you C/O the university:
Interference – biological science fiction by Sue Burke,
and the manga Yokohama Shopping Log, in a genre intended to be soothing for the reader (Iyashikei, literally ‘healing’). It follows the few remaining humans and androids during the twilight of the world, with a rather pleasant, calm ambience.
It was either that, or ‘Aria The Animation’ (another famous iyashikei) about singing gondoliers in a coastal town on a terraformed Mars.
I think you needed something soothing.

I have to spend Labor Day laboring. Our trash pick up service went bankrupt or something. No pick up for the last three weeks and sporadic service before that. Can’t get ahold of anybody. The local TV station and newspaper couldn’t reach anyone for a statement. So today I have to get all the trash out to the curb for the new service to pick up tomorrow morning.
Sounds like anti-labor day. You go, dawg. Wish I could join the anti-labor party but first I have a 4+ hour trek to take my significant other to the airport to fly to London. After I get home this evening I have to start packing up the kitchen for the redo starting Wednesday. No rest for the wicked, I guess, and I guess I was pretty wicked at some point.
Does Labor Day recognize the labor of the folks who went through labor to labor for 20 years or so to raise a child? That’s some hard labor from what I’ve seen.
Going to spend the day sitting on the patio, drinking diet root beer and painting my battlemech figures while listening to my podcasts.
Our labour* day (British spelling) is May 1st. Spring has usually not advanced far enough for many outdoor activities unless you live in the extreme south (aka Stockholm).
Right now I am enjoying a Lincoln Rhyme detective story.
Also, fuck the Swedish xenophobe party. I am saving celebrations for after the election September 13th.
In addition, the 25th anniversary of Dubya ignoring two separate terror warnings from NSA is coming up. I suggest you celebrate it by kicking the @☆¿° in the crotch.

That would be Mother’s day dude. But, poetically, you do not get a day off.
