Happy Friday besties.

0:12.6

We made it. We made it. And for some of us, we have a long weekend.

0:21.3

Yay.

0:22.5

It's the one day.

0:30.5

The U.S. 365 or four or whatever days a year, it's rough going in America.

0:35.0

But one day a year, we, you know, we get to celebrate our labor.

0:36.6

Yes.

0:37.4

One day. Monday all.

0:38.7

I appreciate a three-day weekend.

0:40.8

Okay, if it's a half day, if today you get a half day before the holiday, which I

I never have. Me neither. Oh, I have. Now, will I unofficially? Manufacturing ops. I mean, you know, it was always just a normal

1:45.8

schedule. Health care doesn't ever close. Yeah. Industry dependent. It's exactly. Industry dependent.

1:50.8

So that's why I think it's, well, industry and the department within organization. And so I think
