| No work Monday or Tuesday, but despite asking two weeks ago, we weren�t told till 10 o�clock last night that we weren�t working on Monday, so didn�t make plans to go anywhere or do anything. I am not happy. |

This business of waiting to make decisions to the last minute seems present "from top to bottom". I recall the Fed Gov last minute decision to give an extra day off to celebrate the bicentennial.
It happens all the time, here, in my experience.
I haven't been in Mexico long enough to fully understand the psychology at work but it means many opportunities are squandered, unnecessarily. |

Do you work at an American school? Otherwise, why the time off for Halloween? |

Now why would you want to do THAT?? Get out and go to some of the places that has beautiful displays all set up for the Day of the Dead. That's what I did today and it was pretty cool.
I'll probably go again tomorrow as well. |
