Happy 3rd Wednesday!!!! Did you know today is the 3rd Wednesday of August….This will be important later …so remember.
My Wednesday was a bit wacky, well more my morning was at least. I woke up at 7:20. It was so weird!! I was awake, so awake I jumped out of bed got dressed and headed to work ½ an hour early I decided to stop by and get some coffee and Arco. It was French vanilla…and it was soooooo good. I arrived at work 15 minutes early…I was a crazy person I tell you. I enjoyed my morning coffee and surf. Then to work I went. My whole day was full of zero work. More phone call which I like to do. So I had a pretty weird morning. I even left work on time..Which RARLY happens.
So are you curious about the 3rd Wednesday, and why it is so important. Well for the first time today I agree with something the State of California is doing. Its smart, well planned and it should be slightly effective enough to make a difference. For every 3rd Wednesday in each month all the state courts shut down. There is no phone to be answered, no cases to be heard, no documents to be filed, and no tickets to be paid. Everyone gets a day off. This is good for a couple of reasons. First, it saves the state on day of payroll which should give somewhat of a breather to our horrendous budget crisis. Second, it shows that the state actually understands that cutting back is a good thing. They go off footing these big bills that they can afford while its residence are going to work one less day, driving less, eating in, and living way below their means to make sure they get by. And finally, for one day all the cranky clerks get to stay at home and come back Thursday relaxed and hopefully in a better mood. Seriously they lack sleep.
Hope you all had a wonderful 3rd wacky Wednesday!
XOXO
All good points about CA courts having a mandatory work day off, but what about the employees that depend on their paycheck and those Wednesday workdays? I have a friend seeking a 2nd job / clients to supplement her income now.
Anyway, I guess we have to be responsible on both sides.
