I work for a Fortune 500 company that recently got rid of its black female CEO at the behest of an investor who's one of Trump's close friends. Much like with Obama, the first order of business after she was gone was to undo everything she did during her tenure. MLK day is not one of our standard holidays, but I'm not going in to work Monday anyway.

And why may I ask are you so blue and depressed about the Dr. Martin Luther King holiday? Would you feel better calling it Robert E. Lee Day? For me, I find Dr. King's courageous fight for freedom for so many to be inspiring and uplifting.

Something tells me 4th Monday is going to look at 3rd Monday and be all 'Hold my beer.'

3 days of Trump regime will have set in my then, and the dark reality of each hoping they get assigned to a good district before we go full Hunger Games will settle in.

Yes, but that's all pomp and circumstance, and showing Putin the champagne room. Monday will be the first day of business for the Trump administration.

My birthday gets no respect. It used to be called National Nothing Day. It's just me, Kate Moss and prohibition. At least I haven't been repealed yet.

It's a holiday with nothing good happening, like turkey dinners, presents, costumes, fireworks, wreaths on graves, etc. , Explain to me again why I can't start drinking about noon and eat leftovers at 4, bed by 6? Face it, bed by 6 sounds pretty nice when bed by hopefully 11 is the norm.
