Ha, I see this rant every time the Americans have a bloody holiday. It's adorable.

They're the centre of the universe, don't you know? Everybody should know their holidays and how they like their hamburgers done.

Besides, the poor dears get so little vacation time per year that they are extremely protective of their long weekends.

if it makes you feel any better, L, a holiday in America means your corporate overlords can't send any new arbitrary orders today.

btw, E: it seems that firefox's NoScript is blocking the TypeKey login script on Aqoul with the XSS protection. Might want to look into that.

PENTECOST!!!

The truly f***-ed up thing is that it's a holiday here as well - and I still had to work. The downside of working for an NGO ...

Please, this is an English-language blog, Dr Doug.

Matthew: Hire me for the summer and I'll teach you Geekaneese (I actually am looking for gainful employment). I'm sure E, being technically savvy, understood what I was saying.

Hmmm..... Well, yes, but it's because the US holidays are SACRED, whereas mine mean fuck-all.

I get quite pissed.

L: i dare you to go to half-days in July.

btw, nice American usage of "pissed"

Or to illustrate further, when it is a proper international holiday - say Labour Day, celebrated the planet over with certain exceptions (that is, ex US and one or two other provincial enclaves, not mind you that I am particularly sympathetic to the "cause"), I get bloody calls all day as if these supposedly international cretins of NYers are surprised that the rest of the planet has the day off. But bloody scandal if they get a call on Memorial Day...

cunts.

"Matthew: . . . I'm sure E, being technically savvy, understood what I was saying."

It being Pentecost and all, your speaking in tongues was probably ok.

Matthew: you wasted 30 seconds of my life. i had to go look up what the bloody hell Pentecost refers to. i want those 30 seconds back!

Yeah, I suspected it was related to that. It's on my bug fix list, planning to do a bit of work under the hood next month. Stupid life getting in the way at the moment.

Wow, they can even understand each other. That's so creepy.

okay Matthew, here's a translation:

"some doohicky I have installed in my web browser doesn't like your website. can you fix it please?"

"sure, of course. i know exactly what you're talking about."

"some doohicky I have installed in my web browser doesn't like your website. can you fix it please?"

Well, I know I do now.
