So, I am having a hard time sleeping last night. I get up in the middle of the night and goof off for a bit. When I get sleepy again, I get worried I may fall asleep too hard to hear the alarm. So I stay up. Around 6 I get the uniform on and head in to the hanger, arriving about 15 minutes early. As I sit in the office, I start thinking that EVERYONE in my area is gonna be late it looks like.

Then I realize, hrmmm I have not heard anyone come in. At 7, I look outside and no cars but mine. I'm thinking WTF? I drive to the security checkpoint at the main airfield gate, and the guard tells me it's a federal holiday. Doah!!!  

I am now home and going back to bed.

He might have. The rat bastard sat and talked to me for 3 or 4 minutes the first time I drove through.

he was just fuckin with you, probably timed you to see how long it took you to realize it was a holliday and come asked, probably logged it down and will be laughing with the rest of the guards about it all week.

just seems odd is all I'm saying



It's not odd.  Pilots are know for bad spelling.  The only thing they can do with out instruction or help is tell every one that they're a pilot.  Besides he didn't have a member of the ground crew helping him type the post.

Even after reading this post about the .gov being closed for the holiday I left the house to go to the Post Office and the bank.  For some reason I thought they would be open.  I guess not.
