So, I got up at seven this morning, got ready to head off to internship, and arrived at the FAA building (after the usual 35-minute metro-ride) only to discover that it's Martin Luther King day, and a Federal holiday, and that, of course, the FAA is closed. I can't believe I forgot about something like that.

Though, come to think of it, the fact that I could actually get a good parking spot in the metro station parking lot should have been a clue. That, and the fact that I was the only person on the (half-empty) metro car in a suit.

:( If it makes you feel better, I trudged my ass from work all the way down to the bank... stared blankly at it for a while, then felt like a biiiig dumbass and went BACK to work. Upon my return, my employee ALSO felt like a big dumbass for ALSO not noticing and thus being unable to tell me not to go. Score!

I'm especially proud of the fact that it says 'PRESIDENT'S DAY' on the schedule where I checked to see if anyone was going to come in while I was at the bank. Yesssss!

But at least you got a day off work? :)

... LOL wait you win, cause it's TOTALLY NOT Martin Luther King day! Pwahaha :)

Presidents Day. Right. I knew it was one of those early spring holidays, and this is Black History Month, so...

I'm very good at remembering Civil War and WWII dates. It it were the aniversary of Hitler's invasion of Poland, or the signing of the Emancipation Proclamation, I'd remember that.

*g* See, I'm with you on the important dates vs. holidays - my main problem is more that I don't know what the date is TODAY. Or day. I know it's MONDAY because MONDAY is Tai Chi day. But other than that? I got nothing. I'm pretty sure it's still February. Someone would have told me to do inventory if it wasn't *firm nod*

I can remember the important dates: I never forget when it's Wednesday. Which titles are coming ou this week, yes, but not that they'll be on the shelves on Wednesday (I kind of like being surprised when I walk in to the comic store and see what's new).

Hee :) Priorities, I like that ^_________^ Sometimes I'm glad I'm not such a hardcore comics girl that I check all the time, because then I'm always really EXCITED that a bunch of stuff is now out that I wanted but forgot I wanted - but other times I wish I could be that big a dork ;________; being in the know and on top of things sounds so appealing~

We are both such geeks. I remember Rommel's birthday and what Union general died on what day...
