Lechacal, obviously whoever hired these holiday observers believed that the fact that they couldn’t work x days a year was more than balanced out by what they brought to the firm.
ugh. i have the grosesst cold sore (i think that’s what it must be) that just keeps getting bigger and crustier. can you put cover-up on it?
*rob*
No Rob, leave it alone. Go to Duane Reade and buy a lysine salve. That will make it go away and keep it soft, so that it heals faster and doesn’t bleed.
Well I suppose, ET. I basically hate Christmas and have no problem with working. But I love Thanksgiving (the only holiday I really care about) and have to work Thanksgiving every year. Also I’ve seen lots of other people who actually give a crap about Christmas / Easter / etc have to work on those days. I guess I could make working on Christmas a big deal and tell people to fuck off and not bother me. But I still feel like there is a bit of a double standard when it comes to how untouchable some holidays are. Like people just saying they simply can’t answer a telephone or email all day every Saturday. I know I’m being totally un-PC and culturally unsentitive and stuff, but better to just say how you feel instead of dancing around stuff IMHO.
lech, I’m not religious, but if I HAD to work on Christmas or Easter I’d be upset as hell and would fight to have those days off to spend time with my family who are religious.
There is no double standard. You’re creating it. What you don’t see is that people (while not being religious) may want to celebrate and be with family.
“someone needs to create a book of robisms. They’re brilliant.”
Totally agree, despite how ignorant and annoying he can be as well. (Sorry, *rob*, but it’s true, and you know it’s true).
Case in point: WASP = white atypical sourceless progeny. Now that’s brilliant!!!

Good point, ditto. Guess Anglo-Saxon White Protestant = ASWP, which sounds too much like ass-whip.
