working 9 to 5 and then some...
I spent time on Friday working that I had planned to "take off" and then spent two hours on Saturday at the job site with the homeowners because the cabinet install on this house has turned into a Tim Burton version of homebuilding (without the cute/and/or bizarre little mechanical figures). I'm getting too old to find this intense work schedule amusing. So now my plan is to take off not only the 4th o' July, but at least a half day before. We'll see if that holds. Meanwhile, on Monday, I will be contacting the manager of the cabinet company's Northern California office to dangle a check in front of him, asking him to come to the site to present a speedy solution for the remedial work that needs to be done--there should be a deduction for the pain and suffering the homeowners and I have encountered during this installation! Fearing a mistake or additional grief by others, my ability to sleep has taken a trip somewhere and doesn't plan to come back any time soon, so I sport the Samsonite bags under my eyes and my brain is heavy-laden. This too shall pass, but I hope it passes before I pass (out)... All in a day's (or day's/night's/weekend's) work.

You SHOULD get the 4th off! Sheesh... nothing less patriotic than having to build some rich fatcat's house on the very day of the very independence of the very country that has the very constitution that allows his very self to BE a rich, fatcat, capitalist pig with enough dough to spend on buying houses like they were lingerie! Man... Yay for you if you do succeed in getting the day -and- a half off.
Goodness child, you do get rabid. My client isn't a fat cat and he would never ask me to work on the 4th. (And I don't think he's in to lingerie...) For me it's a question of finances, but I've worked some very long days and have extra time logged, so I'm taking the day and I left work a couple of hours early today.
