I was not aware until now. Sucks because we have some visitors at the office coming from Paris along with others from out of town so it all but guarantees a long work day (as they have no family or anything to do except work, eat, and sleep while here). Guess I can check scores online. I was supposed to be off on Friday and ended up working half the day anyway in prep. My work life is gonna be crappy the rest of the year with multiple projects and software deployments around the country going on. There will not be much 'downtime' going on-- I will be lucky to take all the vacation I am owed.
Now, all that said, this is nowhere near like the life our troops, emergency workers, police/fire, etc. have. And I realize I am also fortunate to be gainfully employed.
