Leap Day

Well - I survived Leap Day. I always have a problem with an extra day during the year. It kind of throws off my circadian rhythm. I think too much about it. Like, will July 4th (which would have been July 3rd) have better weather than July 5th which has become July 4th for this year only? That would really mess up my fireworks plans.

I don't get an extra days pay, so, my employer is actually getting a "free" day. That doesn't seem fair! The least he could do would be to give me a comp day.

And don't get me started on birthdays... I'm still miffed that a friend of mine, who was born the same year as I but on February 29th, is so much younger than me.

It took years of research to figure out why Hallmark didn't push to make this an "official" American holiday. They wouldn't make much money selling these cards every 4 years. Duh!
