But you have this to look forward to - the gauntlet of holidays:
C-bus day (~1 month after labor day)
Vets day (~5 weeks after C-bus day)
Thanksgiving (2 weeks after Vets day)
Christmas (1 month after Thanksgiving)
New Years (1 week after Christmas)
MLK (2 weeks after New Years)
Presidents day (1 month after MLK)

That's a whopping seven holidays in 19 weeks - seven and a half holidays if they grant Christmas Eve as a half-holiday again.

More importantly, these are all opportunities for me to make double pay. :D

Best part of the year. (Also because that part of the year is hockey season.) Though Christmas is on a Saturday this year, so the 24th is a federal holiday instead, no extra half-holiday.

Does that mean you get New Years Eve as a full holiday?

It would appear that way, yes. (On the other hand, January 1, 2012, is a Sunday, and the federal holiday will be given January 2.)

Oh Jesus, Gasthof's. My liver and Shirtless's truck are screaming already. (I've heard many good things about Psycho Suzi's too.)

Yes, we will have to invade Gasthof's. This is a must for Friday night.

Sounds like something I (or shrades) would do:

Man, the last time I saw you you were giving me a thumbs up while being pulled out the bar by your belt from some girl.

I've been there. Houghton, DT. Buddy was sitting at the end of the bar and gave me a high-5 as the girl dragged me out. :eek:

It should be there. Just to be laughed at.

I'll bring my Jeep, if you think Brent's is bad.

I get the 23rd, 24th, 31st and 3rd as full holidays this year. :cool:

Suzi's is fun. I think. My inability to recall is probably a sign that it is fun though.
 
Re: TRP: I'm Taking My Talents To Hartford: Remember The Whale!

This is for Brent.

I was at the grocery store this afternoon and went into the shortest line. Of course, who is in front of me? A 197 year old woman. And how is she paying? With a check. I watch as this old bag slowly scrawls her check. I think she was about halfway through writing the check when I got in line.

Since I didn't want to get angry at this stupid old lady for writing a check and attack her with her own pen, I turned my attention elsewhere. In the next lane the cashier attempts to hand a guy his receipt. He's folding a receipt he already has though, so the cashier's attempts are unsuccessful. Finally the guy, who looks like a smelly hippie from the 60's, slooooooowly takes the receipt and slooooowly begins to fold this receipt. Meanwhile, the cashier begins scanning the stuff of the lady behind him.

By now Old Geezer Grandma has paid and is getting her receipt from the cashier. Back in the other lane, the cashier has finished scanning the lady's stuff, but the lady can't pay because the hippie is still just standing there. He's progressed beyond folding his receipts and is now sloooowly putting them in his wallet. He finishes this and then continues to stand there. By now my cashier begins scanning my stuff. The hippie finally moseys on his way. I pay for all my stuff and then have to follow the hippie out of the store because he's sloooooowly walking out the exit.

Jesus H. Christ on a Cracker. I finally found someone worse than people who pay by check.

well, probably.

She also has some kind of tattoo that goes all the way around her waist, under her waistband. Kind of weird by hot at the same time. Her and I got maced Friday night, it was not fun.
