Are you with me?

I want to start a campaign to make Independence Day the first Monday in July, and scrap this Fourth of July nonsense. Who the hell wants Wednesday off?

Yeah. and what YAHOO decided that Thursday was a good day for Thanksgiving?

I don't get any holidays off, so, monday, wednesday, its all the same. Traffic getting into work is a dream though!

No dice with me. My Punkinhead's birthday is the 4th of July and I like having it off work no matter what day of the week it is.
So. There.

I'll take a day off whenever I can get it.

The only holiday's timing that I have a problem with is MLK day. Mid-January? When it is cold and crappy outside? After a glut of holidays? When we're all holiday-ed out? When we barely got back to work and don't need a break? Waste of a day off. I wish they'd set this holiday near the time of his "I have a dream speech", which, if memory serves, was in August. A perfectly good time for a Monday off. /rant

You might be feeling really under the weather tomorrow -- how much sick time do you have?

Now, why didn't I think of that? I better get my work done today... I'll get stuck at work with road blocks for the Parade if I do come to work tomorrow... all created by people that HAVE the day off.

When I am president, I will make this happen. Plus, I'll add a signing statement stipulating that the next time it's time to change the clocks, we're just going to spring forward or skulk backward 30 minutes and leave it at that. God bless America.
