I’m taking a holiday today, enjoying New Orleans with my wife after a fun Saturday at Day of Data Baton Rouge. It’s always a great event and one I look forward to attending.

Today’s holiday is a shift of a holiday from June. I find that I often get busy on scheduled holidays with travel or work, and I don’t get to enjoy them on the scheduled day. I don’t get too worried, since I know I’ll use the day at some point.

That day is today, and I’m glad that my company is flexible and understanding. Just as I try to be understanding when they ask me to work. I had to record a few things on Juneteenth, and since I couldn’t take the day off because of scheduling, I just worked the rest of the time.

I’m happy to trade a random Friday at home in Colorado for a day in New Orleans today.
