A company holiday today for Martin Luther King Jr Day. The most wasteful bank holiday of the year, coming just 2 weeks after the holiday shutdown. If we are going to have a holiday to celebrate something African-American related, then I wish it was Juneteenth rather than today. I'd much prefer a day off in summer. But sadly our company doesn't honor Juneteenth as a company holiday, even though it is also a federal holiday. If I didn't go back to the UK for Christmas, or I had more vacation days, I might take off these first few weeks of January and go somewhere warm like Hawaii to recharge. Instead, it was just a long and very cold weekend here. Which probably hasn't done me much good.
