Your “I Just Don’t Get Why It’s A Paid Day Off” Easter Monday Open Thread

Maybe it’s a byproduct of my conservative upbringing, but I don’t understand why the Monday following a holiday that falls on a Sunday is a paid day-off.

I mean, I’m already off on Sunday, so why the Monday as well? If it’s because the holiday was on the Sunday, why am I getting paid, since I don’t work on Sunday. Thanksgiving (in Canada) falls on a Monday, so I get that I get that off with pay. But Easter is a Sunday, which I already have off, and I don’t know of a single, secular North American school that teaches on a Sunday. (Praise Cthulhu!)

And I feel bad for the folks who don’t have a union contract that have to work both days – they don’t get a day off, and sometimes I wish union folks remembered that when they whine about how badly they are treated by their employer.

But, since I’ve no other option, I’m taking it. Day drinking, y’all!

Ice Stillers up 3-0 on the Ice Buckeyes, Ice Titans destroying the Ice Bears, and, now, Toronto up on the Crapitals, and the Ice REDBLACKS up on the FACKIN’ AACHE PAHHTRIOTS?

Ice Bears will probably be dicks and bring the series to 7 games to delay the rest of the playoffs. They might have a history of doing that.

: Reading your comment from earlier, I can’t help but wonder, why not invest in a high end courtesan?

Unsurprised

1. I’m cheap.
2. There’s some sort of unexplainable principle involved. Like, I haven’t checked in on my dating apps in a couple of weeks, but I think I appreciated just connecting more than trying to hook up. I also think that there’s just something else to it. Sex isn’t the issue, it’s just part of the bigger problem that I am completely retarded in sociability because of depression and poor decisions.

Leave it to Dave Grohl to create an amazingly fun bass line.

Ice Bears’ goalie, Crawford, just made a big save by using cat like reflexes. .. .

In my own unauthorized account of our online presence.

I love each and every one of our devoted members.
You find another website anywhere that has the online and in person interaction that we have.

I not only take pride in my Sunday Gravy ramblings, I look forward to doing them.
You aren’t getting bullshit, the actual photos are from my weekly preparation. Hell, some of you probably know my kitchen better than your own.
Most of my insanity is a full week in the making and I do them for nothing more than the hope that it will inspire you to cook better.

I’m proud to be a part of DFO and we ain’t going away anytime soon.

I just received my most recent order from Amazon that featured a bottle of glucosamine, “Catch a Fire” the authorized biography of Bob Marley and a batch of Szechuan pepper corns.

Wait till you I see what I do with this batch of glucosamine!

DFOstrong!
