Something I learned today

I've learned a lot on my new job. The culture here is different than anywhere I've ever worked before. Take for example today's lesson: When the Dean has a lunchtime cookout at his house to celebrate the end of the year and they serve wine with lunch, that's a clue that you aren't expected to go back to work for the rest of the day.

Who knew?

that was actually supposed to be "ha!" but only the punctuation made it.

the captcha for this comment is "ohpuough," which I'm pretty sure is Scottish for "oh poo".

Cute!

I haven't had the guts to make widely known yet that it was Wednesday before I realized I have the day off on Monday. Yep. It's sad....

I didn't know til yesterday, and I had to look up on the internet when Memorial Day would be observed this year.

Linda said...

You know that's sad, don't you?

JM said...

yes. i have a good excuse.

Linda said...

Okay, maybe a slightly better excuse than I have, but not much better.

Well, it could have been interesting if you all went back to work after lots of wine (er, providing no one drove).
