Well here I am back at work after a long weekend; it was BC Day, not Canada Day as I am sure many Americans may have thought - but then again I bet they didn't even blink when it was Canada Day, three days before July 4th, but thanks anyway.
I don't have a lunch because rent broke me and it's starting to rain. The sun was shining when I left home this morning so naturally I didn't bring a jacket and an umbrella would have been of zero use to me unless it was for self-defense - little did I know at the time; so as you can see my day so far is not off to a good start - and it's only Tuesday.
You might be thinking "Relax, at least it's Tuesday and not Monday!", well that is exactly where the problem lies. When the calendar calls for the weekend to be a long one, we all jump for joy at the chance to sleep in on Monday but we forget so easily to read the small print where it promises us that the next four days are going to be long and grueling, and it NEVER, EVER fails. Go ahead and try to find it in your pin-up girls, exotic get-away locales and cuddly animal calendars, sure enough it will heed this little warning.
So I am debating whether or not we should even have these long weekends in the first place - I mean sure they are there in place to commemorate events such as Rememberance Day and hey don't the Brits actually celebrate a day where some dude named Guy Fawkes tried to burn down the Parliament Buildings? I realized after they were celebrating the fact that he got nailed for doing it, not praising him for trying - but hey they are English, they're funny like that.
Regardless, I don't know if an extended weekend is worth the extended week that follows... now if we would all just join together and call for the abolishment of long weekends maybe my voice will be heard.
anyone with me?
Hello? Those buggers took an extra day off - why didn't I think of that? DAMMIT!
