So I wake up this morning for work, and as I'm about ready to walk out the door, I'm asked "do you have work today?" I pull out my phone, and see that today is the holiday for yesterday's Veteran's Day. Instead of waking up at 7:30, I could have slept in. At least I didn't actually bother driving to work.

I knew yesterday was Veteran's Day, but I wasn't thinking about today being the state holiday for it. And I never had these one-day holidays off from school, so I'm still not used to it. I would have come to work for Columbus Day had it not come up in casual conversation the afternoon before.

Have you ever gone to or at least woken up early for work/school/an appointment/whatever when you didn't need to?
