Tonight - while most people are planning their wonderful 3 Day weekend - I am setting my alarm and putting out my clothes for work tomorrow. It's a company holiday - for everyone but Finance. We get to have a "Finance Fun Day" which does not include much fun - it will be a regular work day spent closing out the Quarter. Usually I don't mind so much these days that Finance has to work - MLK, July 4th, and Labor Day - because we get to take 8 hours off at some other time. But this year it is sunny - mid to upper 80's - and it's the type of weekend where you could just sit outside and enjoy relaxing.
You know what - even the stupid Metro Bus Drivers get the day off - the buses are running on a Sunday Schedule and my route - 218 - doesn't run on the weekends! I will have to ride the Sound Transit Bus and that one leaves once an hour from Issaquah - Seattle and then the same coming home. So - if I don't get to the bus stop at the right time - I'm screwed! I could drive to work - but I've done a lot of driving this past week and the parking garage at my building won't have their early bird special or a July 4th Special so it will cost me $26 to park for the whole day!! I know - highway robbery!
I do have a staycation planned for the week of July 20th - it's all approved and on the books but I'm not sure if I will still take it. I need to use up my hours because I don't want to lose some again but I don't really have any plans. Although - I could use the time to paint the house - or at least the guest room. Lindsay suggested getting a pedi and sitting outside to do lots of reading - sounds kinda good! I will think about it. I have 2 weeks to go.
Oh - and over the next 2 weeks - the WSDOT is closing the I90 Bridge west bound lanes. The traffic will all be moved to the 2 express lanes - traffic is going to suck big time! I may be ready for a vacation after dealing with that! You know - they never plan these road projects very well - they are always inconvenient!
