If there was a federal holiday that I could chose to work through it would be New Year's Day. I honestly don't see the point. All of the holidays that I like either memorialize something of old or celebrate something grand. Not so with New Year's stuff. What does it memorialize? Yesterday? What does it celebrate? Tomorrow?
No, New Year's Day is a holiday because people are too hung over from New Year's Eve to come into work. It's a holiday for frat boys. Frat boys and valley girls who like to say, "Hey remember two seconds ago when it was so last year?"
I guess what bothers me the most about this inane holiday is this: I really wanted to go to the bank today. I mean... isn't it hard enough to get to a bank when it's open already? Do we really need to come up with more reasons for them to close their doors for the whole day?
It's just a new year! You didn't see this coming for like 365 days!?

this is unrelated to your lack of planning to get to the bank as well as your lack of banking with Bank of America where you can make deposits at the ATM ANY DAY OF THE YEAR!
you need to fix the centering of the header pic (which is a GREAT graphic).
but it needs to be fixed so i don't have to see the silly side scroller bar that we hate so much!
Happy New Year!
Well, I didn't need to make a deposit. I wanted to check to make sure I could pay my mortgage. Yes, I can check it online if I take the time to set that up... but you know. That goes back to the lack of planning.
On both of my computers I see know scroll bar. Tell me more.
No side scroller for me as well.
I see it, I think. But I'm more annoyed with the scratched up looking picture of my very attractive son with his hair short like everyone likes it!!!
Love,
Mom
Nobody seems to have a problem with your hatred of New Year's Day, so I will be the first to weigh in...
It's the last part of the holiday to spend with your family!
We do Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year's Day with my family. New Year's is the day with all the good food - the collards, black eyed peas and ham (or pork chops) - and no consumerism to ruin your fun.
It's like a way to start the year off right! You all get to sit around and wind down from holiday madness, take a deep breath and talk about what the next year has in store for you.
I totally agree that it would be nice if the bank would be open. It would be awesome if the bank would be open all the time.
But I'll wait until January 2, thank you very much! :)
