I'm a cypher, wrapped in an enigma, smothered in secret sauce. Also, my name is Kev and I own this here website.
I know this is likely an unhappy topic for most of you since you do not have today as a holiday, but I am writing this blog post in the comfort of my own home. My work, God bless ‘em, acknowledges MLK Jr. Day as a corporate-wide holiday. It is my sincere hope they will eventually acknowledge all Mondays as holidays. But I digress.
So, what have I done so far today?
I slept in a little. A cold has been plaguing me the past couple days, so the extra sleep was nice. I’ve poured me a glass of Coke Zero, which I’m sipping on as I write this sentence. I don’t know what it is, but Coke Zero tastes extra awesome-y on relaxing holidays at home. I have zero new e-mails, which either means I’m incredibly unpopular or that anyone who normally writes me is languishing away at their jobs and too melancholy to e-mail. For my ego’s sake, I’ll assume it’s the latter. I turned on the television and found Giada DeLaurentiis on the Food Channel, which I’m fairly certain is God’s way of saying, “Enjoy your day, My son.”
What will I do the rest of today, you ask?
Whatever I want. The world is my oyster!
Translation: I’ll make me a sandwich, pour me some more Coke Zero, put in a Wings DVD I was given for Christmas, and goof around online.
It will be a magical day.

You are pushing the boundaries of our friendship. Really I’m just disappointed that my office doesn’t recognize MLK as a good enough reason to not come in to work. As a silent protest, I’m not doing any work today while I’m at work. So basically I’m just sitting here watching tv shows online. I think MLK would approve.
;-) 1.19.09 at 2:17 pm:
Shut up.

@Sarah: Yes, I think MLK would have approved. HOWEVER, I don’t think that’s what he was thinking about when he had a dream…
@Angi: That’s not very nice. If I didn’t know better, I’d think you were one of the unfortunate ones having to work today.

Every Monday IS a holiday for me, I don’t work on Mondays.
I chose to be off on Mondays, because it just makes the week go by faster.

Yay for MLK day! This is a magical day for me, as well. So far I’ve cleaned the apartment, drank tea, watched the Liverpool game WITH SOUND, and checked e-mail. And all of that without putting on any makeup. Now I will read. *stretches* I love today.

Unfortunately my new company does not give us MLK day off. So I was working.
;-) 1.19.09 at 9:49 pm:
I agree with Angi…shut up. LOL! JK No, but seriously, I did spend the day at work looking out the window every 10 minutes to see the snow falling down. Good thing I didn’t read this while I was at work or I WOULD HAVE LEFT A VERY NASTY COMMENT! Now I’m at home in my pajamas so this is okay with me. : )

@Diana: Every Monday is a holiday for you?? To quote Angi and Audrey: shut up!!
@Erin: How could you watch the Liverpool game without makeup? As highly as you think of soccer players, don’t you think it’s possible one or more of them has the ability to SEE YOU through your screen??
@Josh: I’m sorry, man. You should have stayed home in protest. That’ll teach ‘em!
@Audrey: Boy, you non-MLKers are bitter! Haha.

Ohhhh, CRAP! I never thought of that! I was wondering why Fernando looked so crabby most of the match. I assumed it was the sleet and ice but he was probably mad that I didn’t dress up for him!
;-) 1.20.09 at 4:58 pm:
@Erin: Yeah, sorry. It’s okay, though. I’m sure you looked perfectly fine sans makeup. Hopefully you at least dressed nice…right?
;-) 1.20.09 at 5:00 pm:
Um, a sweatshirt and jeans? Not in Liverpool colors? I’m dead.

@Erin: Ouch. You best make it up to him. I know…send him a fruit basket. Everyone loves fruit baskets.
