Maundy Thursday
Today is the 24th day of the 3rd month, the 4th day of Holy Week, and the 84th day of 2016 with exactly 275 shopping days left until Christmas. It is also: - International Day for Achievers

In 1401 the Turco-Mongol emperor Timur sacked Damascus. (( I am always surprised when the oldest “on this day” in recorded history is so recent))
Okay, I am officially confused – if the Holy Supper was actually the celebration of the Passover feast, then how can Passover and Easter be so far apart this year? I’ve read and re-read the explanation, and suspect that I am just not comprehending the difference between the lunar and the Julian calendars, certainly Easter seems like It is very early this year, but pushing it back to May seems a bit extreme.
I got called out today because I been coming into work this week while hacking and coughing – the new lender stated that after I was doing that yesterday, he has now started doing the same and he wasn’t going to “bring that into the office today”. Bossman was scornful, but when you come right down to it, I think the new lender is right, neh? But like so many folks who are out working for a living, I just cannot stay home every time I have a cold! I mean to my mind it is different if I was coming in while running a fever or with strep throat or throwing up with the flu…. But I am not sure about the validity of that particular point of view. OTOH: my reasons for coming in seem valid to me -- I cannot work from home, we are a very small shop and if I am out that means stuff isn’t getting done. Add to that, when you come right down to it, my PTO is not unlimited and I cannot afford to go into leave without pay. OTOH: coming in while coughing, sneezing and snuffling has [1] apparently spread the joy, and [2] I have to admit that I am not quite as sharp as I should be either, which means my work quality and speed are suffering as well.. In addition, I have to ask if I wouldn’t shake this sooner if I wasn’t dragging myself into the office every day, neh?
When you come right down to it, all I really want to do is curl up, wrapped in blankets even though it is warm outside, and stare blankly at the TV, while dozing on the sofa -- and that is exactly what I have been doing in the evenings after leaving work. A hot toddy would be nice, but I don’t think I have the fixings for it and I don’t feel like bestirring myself to get them.
