a letter to the masses.

Dear People Whose Workplaces Believe President's Day Is A Holiday:

I would like to express my extreme dissatisfaction at my own workplace not believing that President's Day is a holiday. Even though I truly believe it is just an excuse to give people a day off in February, I would not turn down a President's Day holiday if offered. Of course, my workplace does not believe in any holiday like this. Why should we take off a day to celebrate presidents? Why should a Defense Company give their employees a random day off in February? Why should a Defense Company help fuel the economy by encouraging their employees to spend money shopping during the mad sales?

We, the employees at said Defense Company, were issued a slight consolation. This week is Engineers Week, and we have free coffee, tea, and bottled water every morning. Oh, and a free dessert (I believe it's Fatty McFatty ice cream this year) on Thursday at lunchtime. Oh thank you, patriotic Defense Company. I should also mention that they are doing daily brain teasers. And yes, I am going to do those every day.

I hope you are all enjoying your day off, you cheeky bastards.

Sincerely,
Reese

PS - Oh yeah............... Any of you go to MIT and looking for a job? There is a job fair on Wednesday that I will be attending for my lovely Defense Company. If you're a US citizen, please stop by. Heck, if you want to stop by and meet me, come on down!

Super PS - I'm planning to slowly move my blog over to typepad, so please start reading me there if you'd like.

Super ultra PS - Here's my work's brainteaser for today. We are given one everyday until Thursday. Maybe I'll do some random raffle thing on Thursday of correct answers. What's a good prize though? How about a cool postcard? Eh, give me suggestions. You should EMAIL me the answer, and not just leave a comment where everyone else can see it. EMAIL people. Ok, here's the brainteaser: The family of a man consists of one grandmother, one grandfather, two fathers, two mothers, four children, three grandchildren, one brother, two sisters, two sons, two daughters, one father-in-law, one mother-in-law, and one daughter-in-law. What is the smallest possible number of persons in his family? The answer will include the man.

Hey girly, I can't come to the career fair (though I am freaked out by the whole defence co. bit) since I'm not gonna be in town (sleeping in Somerville by Inman Square ^_^) till Friday evening. I'm staying till the first Sunday in March. I don't know what my schedule will be like but keep me in mind that week! I wanna meet you, Miss Knitting Knerd!

Sorry to see you leave Xanga. Just hope you'll visit from time to time.

Always nice to have Mondays off =) but some consolation is better than no consolation, right?
