No post tomorrow, because my bosses gave us the day off for September 11. This is yet another aspect of why my job is cool. It's funny -- one of the bosses tried to justify the day off as a security concern, saying "I'm not worried about terrorists per se. Real ones. I'm more worried about our homegrown crazies. Because we're so close to Grand Central, and who knows what kind of weirdo is just gonna flip his lid on the anniversary and do something stupid, and I don't want us in the office if something like that happens, not that I think anything will happen, but just in case, I'd just rather y'all were safe at home, and not here, at the office, so close to so many potential targets. You know? It's the homegrown crazies you gotta worry about," and so on for about fifteen minutes. He repeated the term "homegrown crazies" so many times, it was like he was rehearsing something, or like maybe that thing happened where a word sounds wrong when you say it too much (Michelob. Michelob. Michelob. Michelob. Mickle-oab. Mickel-oab. Michelob. Mick-a-lobe. Mikka-lobe? Mickle-lowba. Macka-lacka. Mams mams mamsa!).
But really, you see, he was trying to find a way to justify wanting a day off work for emotional reasons -- without copping to his emotions. (Oh yeah, he's the lawyer in the office.) Like he can't just say "We should have a day off because something horrible happened here two years ago and it's traditional to observe such anniversaries with solemnity, reflection, and without working," because even that is too emo for his ass! Dudes, I love going to work. If I had to stay home all day and make music, or write, or get paid to create beautiful things, I would inflate to Jabba-size and die of frantic apathy within a year. I looove work like Robin, Claudia, Claire, [insert everyone else in world's name here, separated by commas] and Maggie hate it. And I am not going to work tomorrow. Even if I didn't have the day off, I wouldn't come in. And the fact that I hate what is being done in the name of nanalala only amplifies the tragedy, while cheapening it at the same time. Tomorrow is my day to be sad, my one day of the year. If you feel like it, I'll be having a picnic with some friends by the picnic house in Prospect Park tomorrow, noon, nanalala. 0 comments |
