Well enjoying a little post season baseball tonight....how 'bout those D-Backs Well hi to all and a big WECOME to the SunshineLdy, a little new life to the site is always a good thing. And a Tucsonan would just make it a little better. Making a trip to Scottsdale tomorrow and Saturday, back to the Old Pueblo on Sunday and I get Monday off "Columbus Day" so should make for a nice 4 day weekend. Hope everyone enjoys thier weekend no matter how long or short it is.

<snip> and I get Monday off "Columbus Day" so should make for a nice 4 day weekend. <snip>

So very, very unfair!! I must toil away at work on Monday. Oh, the humanity!

 

[JLM73]

Ahhh one of the simple pleasures of being employed by the government 12 paid holidays a year...... but then again if I were in the private sector I may need some "corporate training"

 

[SunshineLdy]

Hello Sunshine! You in Tucson, too?

Hi all, and yep I'm down in Tucson.

Ahhh one of the simple pleasures of being employed by the government 12 paid holidays a year

As long as it's not for the BIA (Indian Affairs). Columbus day is "Invasion Day", so they generally skip that one Then again, there are some perks to training now and then

 

[DracnKitten]

I'm in Phoenix right around the 50 highway.

 

[sunbunny3]

happy weekend all!!!! going racing tomorrow night out here on the river! everyone enjoy the weekend.

 

[Coven911]

Holiday?? What is that??? I haven't had a holiday off in hmmmm....quite a few years...lol...either worked them at Harrah's or Big 5, or, now with the state, in a 24/7 location, what is a holiday?

Those of you who have it off, have a tremendous one!

 

[Ender3]

i agree! i'm taking a trip on my long weekend. just a little over nighter to flagstaff on my bike. for the hell of it i guess. noone else wanted to go. lol. a little bit of bar crawling for me tonight i guess

 

[kdawgaz]

3 -day weekend

Now that I work for the County, I get these 3-day weekends off

Used to work a job that required me to work on all of these three day weekends.

Football, RACE DAY, and I get to chase my woman around the house naked for 3 days lol

Safe weekend for everyone!

 

[JLM73]

Well its almost over, a great weekend, enjoyed some beautiful weather while in Scottsdale, and how about those DBacks sweeping the Cubbies, sorry Cubbie fans, and what a shake up in the college football standings "Stanford beats USC!! " and the Trojans were favored by 38 points I guess someone forgot to tell The Cardinal........ ssshh lets not speak of the Cats....
And what an absolutely beautiful day in the Old Pueblo, I spent all day outside and actually got a sunburn, hmmmmm doesnt seem right but here it is fall and I get sun burnt.....
Anyway
