Holidays Make for the Best Commute
We have an interesting vacation setup at work - there are no company holidays (count 'em, zero), and you don't get sick time. What you do get is a very fair amount of "paid time off" - to be used as you see fit.
Wanna work Christmas but take off Hanukkah? Great. It's the way I always said it should be done. (Well, what I literally said was 'you should get all holidays or none' - all would, of course, be better.)
So anyway, Dawnise and I didn't have any plans for today, so I came into the office. My commute isn't bad - normally about 25 minutes once I'm off the ferry. Today I did it in just over 15, and my biggest problem was deciding how fast I thought I could go without getting busted. And of course, I was on the bike that just keeps whispering - "come on, you can do better than that, can't you?"
I settled for pacing the second-fastest car on the road. I think I gave the poor woman a complex or something.
