Whatever the holiday, I’ll enjoy the day off
July 3, 2013
Another holiday will soon come and go and with it the fun we shall have. It’s a reason to cut out of work early or come in late afterwards. It’s a reason to take an extra day off so the weekend is that much longer. And it’s an even better reason to spend with friends and family.
I didn’t make this a long weekend like most people probably did. I should have but I’m already taking enough time off later this month so I’ll just take advantage of the fact that the holiday gives me a free day from work. I did leave work early today though; my excuse is that the computers at work were down all day. Really, when you’re not very productive, what’s the point in sticking around?
Leaving work early means I got to enjoy time in the afternoon I don’t usually get to have to myself and once I finish updating my Blog with this post, I get to spend a nice evening with the love of my life. I see a few winning games of cribbage in my future as we sit outside to enjoy the rest of the day. A few wins under my belt with a nice cold drink sounds like the perfect kind of evening.
I look forward to a day off from work, especially when the weather has been so perfect lately. I expect to enjoy my day however I see fit before we move on to enjoy the celebration of the holiday.
Whatever your plans are for the holiday (if in fact you are celebrating the U.S. holiday), I hope you enjoy yourself and the time you get to spend with family and friends.
Happy 4th!
