so much for that idea

The plan for today was to head out to the office, make some photocopies, run to the close library to return a few books and pick up some that are on hold, do a few more things, and then eventually head up to the Singel library to spend the day there finishing up my Anselm paper and immersing myself in the names of VOC ships from the early 17th century. Well, the fact that we didn't get the usual Monday morning email announcing tea and cookies at 11am should've tipped me off, but it wasn't until I got out to the office and found it completely closed that I had a vague recollection of hearing something about today...
Yup, we've got another religious holiday on our hands here. Happy Whitmonday, everyone! I thought celebration of this holiday had gone out with the Middle Ages. (I also thought of it as something peculiarly Catholic, but it's not one Joel was familiar with.)
So I guess I'll have to stick around at home and finish up my Anselm paper and immerse myself in the names of aliens in the 1593 return of strangers in London.
