So, because I work for the government, I have Thursday (the Fourth of July) off. And because I'm having a hard time in my head right now, I took off Monday as a mental health day. This has led to more holiday cognitive dissonance than should be allowed in the middle of summer. (Winter holiday cognitive dissonance is the norm.)
Because I was off Monday, Monday was Sunday and Tuesday was Monday.
Because Tuesday was Monday, Wednesday is Tuesday, but because I'm off Thursday, Wednesday is also Friday.
Thursday is Saturday. But it's also Sunday, because I'm working Friday, which will be Monday because of Thursday being Sunday, but it's also Friday because the next day is Saturday.
The real Saturday. You see.
I actually checked the calendar, and the next holiday I get off is Labor Day, so I have about two months before abject confusion sets in again. Then I checked and discovered that the longest period between holiday days off is the one between Martin Luther King Jr. Day and Memorial Day, followed by the period between Memorial Day and the Fourth, followed by the one I just mentioned. In case you were wondering, though I have no idea why you would be.
In other news, I have no other news.
*Movie and song title. Have you ever seen this movie? It swings wildly between sixties sitcom comedy and depressing sixties gritty. But the song is a freaking dirge, it's amazingly depressing.
