Only if you are into faking illness to skip work. I have never feigned illness to get out of work. It's a day like any other, so no, it's not a good day to fake illness.

Tomorrow will be a good day to fake catastrophe to get out of work. "Hey, boss, I can't come in today because a gaping chasm just opened up near the entrance of I-17, and yea, verily spawns of Beelzebub doth spring up rom the fiery deep, wielding swords dripping with the blood of the just and unjust alike. The earth doth quake, the Four Horsemen stalk the land, now plagued with locust and pestilence!!! and I think I'm coming down with the flu on top of that."

I agree, not a good day for fake illnesses. I am scheduled to work on Saturday, the 22nd, and I alerted my supervisor that if the world ends on Friday, i might be a little late reporting for work....

In my corner of the world, Friday is an OFF day anyway.

Mayan or no Mayan , people are enojying the great weather. More camping, more travel. If you mentioned polar shift ..etc., it is just another joke to say in front of the campfire ! LOL

Well, here we are on the other side of TEOTWAWKI

Got up, dressed warm (okay, warm for SOCAL) and walked the dog. Absolutely crystal clear sky, grass at the park was frosty, didn't feel any earthquakes and we haven't been hit with a solar storm EM field which could knock out civilization as we know it. The park's coyotes were out looking for rabbits so it seems as if it's just a day like many others.

So far so good!

So, what's the next would-be catastrophe on the list ???

The Gregorian calendar ends on the 31st!

Day's still young. Hopefully the Mayan apocalypse will hold off until I can catch a flight home.

oh damn. I thought the end of the world means I can walk on the street in my birthday suit.
