Happy extra long weekend to those that are bludging it today.

[–] RustyRaven@aussie.zone 7 points 2 weeks ago

Sadly I am at work. We really need today to be a public holiday too.

[–] mysticgreg@aussie.zone 6 points 2 weeks ago

Working today, and tomorrow, and Wed and Thu and Fri. Normal working week for this guy.

All who get the public holiday, enjoy it! I am enjoying the awesome traffic at least.

My man's gone to work today because it's a bludge. He has Friday off instead. Smart.

[–] MeanElevator@aussie.zone 3 points 2 weeks ago

I got Friday off too.....2 day week somehow

[–] imoldgreeeg@aussie.zone 3 points 2 weeks ago

I am at work because I know it will be quiet today and tomorrow and I can actually do stuff. Looking forward to some time in lieu though....

@MeanElevator
I'm all "nup to the cup" but they'll have to take the four day weekend from my cold, dead hands.

I'm anti monarchy but still enjoy the Monarch's b-day day off.

My hypocrisy knows no bounds when it comes to getting a day off.

[–] stib@aus.social 4 points 2 weeks ago

@MeanElevator Yup. Austraya day? Change the date, but make sure that the long weekend stays along with it. Grand Final day? Couldn't give a rat's about the men's game but love the Friday off, and to be equitable they really need to give us the Friday before the AFLW final. And the NRL, soccer and netball too, because why favour one sport? Actually I hear there's an underwater hockey grand final coming up soon, and the week after that is the inner western under 15s Trugo grand final ...

working, but realistically its a day spent in youtube. Stuff all going on here.

[–] MeanElevator@aussie.zone 3 points 2 weeks ago

I was going to do that, but honestly couldn't be arsed turning on my PC and paying attention.
