The Pope is coming, the Pope is coming...

I hope it's a bust.

Yesterday the mayor asked DC workers to stay home if they can. She didn't make it official, but she's pushing. There is going to be a popemobile parade just a couple blocks from me, and tons of street closures, and the security checkpoints open at 4am, so pope tourists are being asked to start getting in early, before the 11am parade. That means they will be disrupting my morning metro ride. They don't have any idea how many people are coming, but all officials are saying there will be major delays.

And the kicker is that I just found out at the end of the day yesterday that I have to do a 45 minute training that morning for new attorneys. They scheduled that training on Yom Kippur, so my Jewish boss who was supposed to do it, will be out, and I need to be here to do it instead. I have to come up with 45 minutes worth of material. Who schedules training during a pope visit and Yom Kippur? WTF?
