16 year old trying to get it going. I signed the petition.

I get up between 330 and 4 am for work so I'm def. signing this petition. Can't call out because I'm the replacement for a guy on FMLA right now either so we're already short-staffed.

As big as the Super Bowl is, I mean we're talking an event that transcends football just for the crowds it draws who watch it for the commercials, I would think they wouldn't lose much viewership moving it to a Saturday night. And making the next day an actual gov't sanctioned holiday is never going to work.

I knew a liberal snowflake and a conservative trumpette could agree on at least 1 thing. Move that bad boy to Saturday. It would be weird the 1st year but it would become normal in the following year or 2.

Monday hangovers after the Super Bowl are an American tradition, don't mess with it. I think it is the most popular day for people calling in sick.

My last job before self employment decades ago was working at a place that had a lot of Vietnamese employees. One of them told me different voice inflictions can change the meaning of speech. To me it often seemed like they were yelling at each other, I was always waiting for them to start swinging. I would not want to deal with that with a hangover.

Interesting. Don't see too many Vietnamese-only speaking people any more. Must have come to the US recently.
