Does anyone else who has to work this week feel slightly gyped?
Show of hands.
Why does the world have to go on in the week between Christmas and New Years? Can't America use all those saved up siestas that it doesn't use every afternoon like other countries and just take the week off. Everything just stop. No work for anyone. Time to decompress from Christmas and all the family goings on, and a little time to just get a little excited about the change of the year. Time to actually enjoy the company of those who have come into town for the holidays. To enjoy the Christmas presents sitting in a box in the corner of the bedroom, still unpacked for lack of time.
Or perhaps it's just me.
