Ethical dilemma

[jay]

The current administration, undoubtedly trying to continue the process of beatifying IMO one of the worst presidents in US history, has declared the day of the funeral (this Friday, 6/11) to be a Federal holiday. I don't know what to do... I certainly don't want to buy their symbolism. Whether to ignore the day off and come in to work anyway... or possibly I could instead pursue some activity that would horrify the conservative right. More than merely freedom of speech and thought... isn't it Pride weekend in SF?

SF Pride isn't till the end of the month(Sa 26 Jun). Santa Cruz was this recent weekend. Hmmmn.

But a good train of thought...

This weekend is Napa Valley Pride (http://www.napapride.org/) though. that could be quite fun!

You could work a casual half-day, and get stuff done without the red-tape folks running around...and then go about personal things on the other half-day...

That's my thoughts...and how I spent confederate memorial day this year...

You work hard, enjoy the what I'm assuming is going to be a paided day off doing whatever brings you joy.

Take the day. Reagan probably owed you a few.

Come in to work if that's truly what would make you happiest. Otherwise, why (as my mother would say) cut off your nose to spite your face? Take the day off and flirt with guys, write an essay on your own political views, watch your favorite porn, send a campaign contribution to someone of your choice... whatever. :-) Hey, symbolism! Figure out your net pay for that day and ship it off to your favorite candidate. ;-)

I suggest we go out to a bar and have a better repeat experience of that really horrid Friday I had where R and others showed up at St. Stephen's pub...

Quite honestly, this is news to me. Wish they'd give us more advance notice, but then that means Ron would have had to cack off sooner.

Just enjoy the day off, it doesn't have to Mean Something[tm].

Personally, I'm taking the time off. Realistically they would have shut things down regardless of which former President died. Having said that, I'm planning an outing to Dupont Circle with trips to the HRC store and Lambda Rising on Friday.
