Labor!

Happy Labor Day everyone! I can't wait to see what I got this year!

I have been "on duty" yesterday and today, so I haven't really been able to enjoy the long weekend, although I have been sleeping late, which is always a good thing. Duty is about as much work as I feel I should have to do on Labor Day.

Back when I worked at Dartmouth, we often had to start our UGA Training on Labor Day. I was often one of the sole voices against starting on Labor Day, as working on this day seemed anti-thetical to the whole idea of the day. That's why I don't like the whole Labor Day sale idea. Some poor worker is getting screwed and has to work, so that people with the day off can shop and save money.

Personally, I'd like EVERYONE to have off on Labor Day, but I understand that some jobs, like Police, Firefighters, etc, probably have to work today. So, I hope they get mondo amounts of overtime. They deserve it, for working on Labor Day.

In other news, I updated some genealogy stuff on my Mom's side of the family tonight. I got some info from Poland recently that gave me the names of two sets of G3-grandparents. They're Wojciech and Agata (Obuch) Drozd, and Wojciech and Marianna (Dziki) Stachura. That information was in a little note I got with some birth records from Poland. I wish the clerk had written where he had gotten the info, but I'm happy to have it, whatever the source.

I have a bit of a headache tonight, so it's time to sign off...
