I was sure you’d made a mistake. According to the calendar that they hand out at school (made by Pepsi), MLK Day is today. I hope no one thinks they don’t have to go to work today because of that calendar!

I’d love to say you saved me from being fired, but, I, um, set my own hours, if you catch my drift.
