Labor Day Plans?
« on: August 28, 2012, 09:49:58 PM »
In the mid to upper 90s here. The kids and grand kids will be here. Staying around the house enjoying the pool, laying waste to some cool brews and searing some mammal flesh on the grill.

What's in your plans?

Working my 24hr shift at the FD.  We will probably be cooking dead animal on the grill.

Converting my office from a screen print shop to a snorkeling certification outfit.

Snorkeling?  I just did some snorkeling today...... in a pool.  I had to do 16 laps in a pool as part of our annual testing for our dive team.  I have to say, it was quite relaxing.

I'll probably be sorry about this post, and/or should have put it in the cage, but since you asked;

Even if I'm slingin' ink that day, I'll adjust my soundtrack. I'll fire up the Woody Guthrie, and Tom Morello and maybe Bruce and some others who understand and respect the folks that this day is meant to honor. Like May 1 around the world, this is the day of the workers! Those who really built this country. Not the owners, or the bosses, the CEO's, the bankers, or the military-industrial complex, but the ones who sweated and put their backs into it. The ones who when banded together in solidarity to better their conditions have been beaten and shot down, sometimes with the aid of this very country's military, under the orders of the same folks who now enjoy the day off and may even spout labor platitudes while standing around the grill.

I'll be printing on Labor Day.  Sucks but at least we are so busy I have to work on a holiday.  I remember days a few years ago when I was stressed about my guys not getting their 40 hours and them leaving to find a shop that could, now I'm worried about overworking them.

I'd like to can and pickle the damn gophers who systematically destroyed every single plant in my vegetable garden this year.

There has been way too many of them in the shop lately, no doubt about that.

anything except working here. Work at home fine, but time off from here. NO DAMN PHONE. Jammed for Tuesday, but it's not Tuesday yet.
