I hate my social life.
Jul. 2nd, 2011 01:41 pmThat is all.
ETA: Tag refers to "All Summer in a Day" by Ray Bradbury.
I have very little available time when I'm not a sleep-encrusted zombie. One of those times when I can actually socialize with my daywalker friends is holidays that fall on a weekday.
And amazingly, every single one of my friends that I've asked so far has plans that I can't possibly be included in. But mysteriously, "a holiday that falls on a weekday" is some kind of arcane Paschal-moon-calculation such that they can't predict what the next such holiday is, in order to ask me in advance to THAT one.
Hint: The next federal holiday that falls on a weekday is Labor Day, the first Monday in September. The one after that, for those businesses that observe it, is the Friday after Thanksgiving. Both Christmas and New Years are on a Sunday, meaning that most businesses will be closed the Monday following.
But it's ok, I know this, they know this, and it's pretty much that they don't get how absolutely RARE my coinciding days off are, so it never occurs to them to make plans with me.
