Ah...it's a 3-day weekend for me.  I really love the 9/80 work schedule.  I always try to spend the off-Friday doing stuff I want to do...it's nice to be able to go shopping on a weekday in the morning when it's not crowded...especially at places like Trader Joe's.  So I usually like to get the shopping/errands done in the morning hours.  Then I  pick up a little something for lunch then head on home to enjoy a nice quiet afternoon to myself.  I guess I'm pretty much a loner...I really like having time to myself and I don't mind spending a lot of time by myself.  I dunno...I've never been one to have lots of friends.  I was and am happy with just a few close friends and lately have almost become a recluse...heh.  I don't feel the need to socialize much...not sure why that is.

Usually Mr. Chickpea is at work since he doesn't have the pleasure of having a 9/80 work schedule.  But he's taking a day off tomorrow!  I guess I could (begrudgingly...heh) spend some of my off-Friday time with him...he'll probably be playing WoW most of the day anyway...(grumble, grumble!).

This is the first 5-day work week I've had since early December I think.  You get really used to having 4-day work weeks and 3-day weekends when you work a 9/80 schedule.  Then when you add in all the holidays in the last couple of months...well, let's say that working 5 days straight is a struggle by the time the working Friday rolls around.  Still, I can't complain too much.  At least this weekend is another 3-day weekend...woohoo!

I wonder when stores will start having MLK day sales...like they do for Presidents and Columbus...heh.
