To those of you who are Veterans, I salute you. To everybody else, happy binary day. Yes, 111111 – which, if my binary math is correct, adds up to 63. Don’t forget to glance at the clock at 11:11 today, and say, “wow.” I could have purchased tickets to tonight’s SU game for a mere $11 if I’d wanted to. But I don’t have anybody who’d be willing to make the supreme sacrifice of sitting through a football game with me (this is where having a kid would’ve come in handy), and, anyway, the last Friday night football game I went to wiped me out for about a week.

Many people have the day off, but I’ll be working because, well, because I’m not a vet, and I get an extra day off for working (which means I earned two this week, because Election Day is a holiday for me, too – a vestigial holiday left over from the days when public employees in NY were key players in elections). Today is also the final day of my “support” duty rotation, which is mostly a pain in the ass. It’s difficult to get all my other work done when I have to drop everything to answer some stupid call. We have a lot of PEBCAP and 1D10T errors where I work.

Yet more proof that there are, indeed, such things as stupid questions.

The nice weather is supposed to turn to shit today, which can only mean one thing: the weekend is nigh. Having given up my early day on Wednesday (the day it was sunny and 70° – which may be the last one of those we see for a while) so that a co-worker could take the day off and play golf, I get to leave early today, since the weather will suck. Of course, knowing the guy I did the favor for the other day, I’d say it’s even money that he calls in sick today (after I show up early so that I get to work an unexpected 10 hour day).

Oh well, one way or another, it’ll be over with.

Oh well, o
