First time ever my company added it to the list of paid holidays. We usually wait until Good Friday for the first paid holiday

The wife it off so she convinced me to take the day off.

I wondered why the markets were closed today

Same here.

We don't have today off, I think we are one of the few, thankfully the project I am working on can be done online. My next paid day off is Good Friday.

Our facility is open, but the rest of campus is closed. I'm due for my bi-weekly Covid test and I have a client... otherwise I'd be home.

You have to take a biweekly test ?

Everyday is a day off club member.

If the paper mill is buying, we are working.

We found and put a contract on our ranch on this day 22 years ago. Good gawd I'm getting old.

aka: Appeasement Day

So, the check literally will not be in the mail today?

65 & gorgeous here. Smoking some ribs & stuffed jalapeños in honor of the good Doctor.

You Sir are 110% accurate....but I’ll take it.

Being retired, either I don’t get the day off, or I get every day off. Whatever....

I was gonna load some 9mm, but decided that some chainsawing was more important.

but he was not a reverend, he was not a doctor, his name was not even martin luther. He died micheal king

^^^^^^You're full of fecal matter, as usual. He graduated from Boston college with a PHD in theology. Why do you lie? What's you're endgame. We know you hate everything America stands for. So STFU you weasel

Boston University:

In 1951, King began doctoral studies in systematic theology at Boston University.[84] While pursuing doctoral studies, King worked as an assistant minister at Boston's historic Twelfth Baptist Church with Rev. William Hunter Hester. Hester was an old friend of King's father, and was an important influence on King.[85] In Boston, King befriended a small cadre of local ministers his age, and sometimes guest pastored at their churches, including the Reverend Michael Haynes, associate pastor at Twelfth Baptist Church in Roxbury (and younger brother of jazz drummer Roy Haynes). The young men often held bull sessions in their various apartments, discussing theology, sermon style, and social issues.

King attended philosophy classes at Harvard University as an audit student in 1952 and 1953.[86]

At the age of 25 in 1954, King was called as pastor of the Dexter Avenue Baptist Church in Montgomery, Alabama.[87] King received his Ph.D. degree on June 5, 1955, with a dissertation (initially supervised by Edgar S. Brightman and, upon the latter's death, by Lotan Harold DeWolf) titled A Comparison of the Conceptions of God in the Thinking of Paul Tillich and Henry Nelson Wieman.[88][84]

An academic inquiry in October 1991 concluded that portions of his doctoral dissertation had been plagiarized and he had acted improperly. However, "[d]espite its finding, the committee said that 'no thought should be given to the revocation of Dr. King's doctoral degree,' an action that the panel said would serve no purpose."[89][84][90] The committee found that the dissertation still "makes an intelligent contribution to scholarship." A letter is now attached to the copy of King's dissertation held in the university library, noting that numerous passages were included without the appropriate quotations and citations of sources.[91] Significant debate exists on how to interpret King's plagiarism.[92]

Working.

Bi-Weekly as in every two weeks, yes. Some staff members are tested 2 times a week as well, but fortunately I am not one of them.

Retired, so I took a day off from doing nothing and went to the dentist.

Working like a borrowed mule
