Happy MLK Day

If you're a banker or schoolteacher, you're probably not working today -- not that either of these industries can afford to stay open anyway...

I've worked in only one Cube City that recognized MLK Day. It was a large, boring, established company that walked their diversity talk. I don't miss that place, but I miss the recognition of an important holiday.

I'm furious that my current Cube City is open. Do "I have a dream" of having this day off? Yes, you could put it that way, with the company's retort of, "Dream on." But at least traffic is lighter and many of my peers are taking the day off to be with their kids. Maybe today won't totally suck wind like most Mondays.

I can dream.
