Even though today is supposed to be a day off for me (Cesar Chavez holiday, the NorCal folks hate that I have this day off), I’m here. At work. Getting a couple of things done. Of course my judge is here, too. He was surprised to see me and already gave me a couple of things to look over. There are a surprisingly high number of employees in the building. “Is this a day off?!” a law clerk friend said earlier, looking at all the coworkers around her.
Not that I came in during regular hours, nor am I planning to stay long. I’m just giving my roofing guy a few extra minutes to email me the roofing invoice, so that I can print it and include it with my homeowners’ meeting minutes and demand for payment for my roof to the other homeowners in the association.
I had a list of things to do today. I already reviewed and made changes to my HOA documents as requested by the other officers, I got Dodo more cat food and litterbox crystals, bought some necessities at WalMart (I usually go to Drug Emporium for toothpaste, shampoo, contact solution, etc., but I was dismayed to find that it’s shut down!), and am now at work. Soon, I’ll leave here to test the drive to the the bartending class (1st day of class is tomorrow after work!) and then meet up with MOH Vicky at the gym at 3:30.
Just for kicks, guess what Mr. W is doing all day! He’s attending employee training seminars/lectures at the Museum of Tolerance! I spoke to him at his lunch break and he said a guest speaker coming up in the afternoon is an actual survivor of the Holocaust.
We don’t have Drug Emporium here but we do have wal-mart, and I HATE that place. I avoid at all cost, I have started buying shampoo and toothpaste at the grocery store, I don’t care if it’s 40 cents higher!!
I bet Mr. W’s class will be interesting to say the least.
I will plead my ignorance of Caesar Chavez…WHO? Sorry.
I avoid WalMart like the plague in certain cities where the residents are, um, uncouthe and violently motivated by cheap crap. But the one in my area is fairly upscale with the low prices, so I’m happy there.
I don’t know much about Cesar Chavez either, but each year when I have the day off I blog about it and people seem to give me some feedback online. I understand he spearheaded a movement for Mexican migrant workers in CA?
Man, I need to get a job where you get some many holidays. I think we get like 7 over here. You lucky gal you!
Hey, I have been meaning to go to the Museum of Tolerence. I hear when you go in you get a card of a real person that went through the Holocaust experience and it has their story. When you leave it tells you if you survived or not. Maybe I will take my niece there.
