I’ve been so caught up in my projects that it wasn’t until just now I realized Monday was a holiday. I didn’t even realize it I went to schedule a meeting on Monday and was told by an invitee. Anyone else feel a bit too busy these days?

In other news I get a surprise 3 day weekend! Lol

Very much so. I didn't realize it was a holiday until I was talking to my wife about dropping the kids off at school on Monday. She looked at me like I was an idiot before reminding me that they would be home, and the two of us will be as well.

I didn’t realize Monday was a holiday until I read this post. We’re still working on Monday—we don’t get it off—so I guess I don’t really have a reason to remember that it’s a holiday.

I found out Thursday and felt so relieved

I would (obviously) like the money but my real objective is just getting experience/networking since I recently moved to a new state and don't have clients of my own.
