Oh the FRUSTRATION OF IT ALL

I previously posted that my husband has a great job and that I am secretly jealous of him. We are both lawyers, but his job is WAY more fun than mine. Also, he gets WAY more days off than me. He knows this irks me and so he doesn't ever rub it in or talk about it really. Which is fine, nice even. But here's the thing. He knows I get annoyed when he has stupid days off, like the aforementioned ELECTION DAY. I mean, who gets election day off?!? So he waits to tell me until the last possible second...which is normally the night before his day off.

Behold our conversation this morning as we get ready for work:

me: Why are you wearing Khakis and a buttondown? (he normally has to wear a conservative suit with a white shirt and tie.)

him: I felt like going casual today.

me: Why are wearing Khakis and a buttondown? (repeated in exactly the same manner so that he understands I do not buy this for even a second)

him: Well...

me: Do you have today off?

him: I am going to work today but...(trailing off)

me: But what?

him: It's Veteran's Day.

me: And you were going to tell me this when?

him: The office is closed...But I'm going in, so it isn't really a day off.

me: HOW MANY DAYS OFF THIS WEEK CAN THEY GIVE YOU!!!!

him: This is why I don't like to tell you...

The kid has a point, but can you believe it? TWO DAYS OFF THIS WEEK!
