Is it a holiday or what?

susandennisI remember trying to explain holidays like President's Day to my friend from New Zealand. Finally I was able to do it by describing what was open and what was not. Then he said "oh, so it's kind of a faux holiday".
Then I got my hands on a Kiwi calendar and learned they invented the sport. If the queen farts, they take the day off while declaring that she's nobody's ruler especially theirs but. what. ever.
It's a work day for me but a weird one. Instead of having me work according to what needs done, now the project manager has assigned hours. So on Mondays, the workday is 9-5. I work Mondays, so my work day does not start for 15 minutes. Because of database issues, I suspect there will not be much to do after about 10 so basically, I'll be paid for sticking by the computer all day which is what... hmmm.... I would probably do if I weren't being paid. This job is wonderfully weird.
On Tuesdays, the hours are 6 am to 2 pm. On Wednesdays, when my co-worker has the duty, she'll be working 6-10 and 2-4. Thursdays and Fridays are back to 9-5.
Then next week, I will probably break off and start the new project. I have notes to refer to in order to keep all this straight.
