What can I say, I'm a hard worker

[Pekka]

Well.. it's some kind of the first of May, workers party or something like that. Can't be bothered to find out more, since today it's just a big drinking orgy like every other party day in here.

So anyway, I went to work today. It was an accident, I didn't know today is a holiday. I wondered why know one else was there, so I just went to my office and started working thinking wow these people are really late today.. but so what, not my problem.

After an hour of work I decided to go for a coffee. The cafeteria was closed though. What the hell? OHHHH, so it's the first of May, the holiday day?? What is this crap! This is an excuse NOT to work?

Some day.

I didn't know today is a holiday

They usually anounce these things in the conventional media a few days ahead. This means you're probably an internet-media-only guy. Good

This couldn't happen to me though, because I know when I don't have to work. I would find out those dates even if they were written in Egyptian hieroglyphes and buried under a rock in Mozambique

[Pekka]

of course internet only

[Japher]

I've actually not shown up to work when I should have, thinking the days were holidays.

[Spiffor]

I got up at 06:15 today, in order to sell the traditional mayday lillies for the party's coffers

[Pekka]

That's not work, that's performing criminal stunts.

[Spiffor]

My customers seem to disagree

[Pekka]

yeah, but then again they are criminals as well.

[Spiffor]

Clearly, your May 1 celebrations would be better if y'll bought lillies instead of booze.

[Pekka]

No, it's better if we all just work and do something productive than ripping the God's work off the ground and giving it to bunch of criminals, who by the way already take what they want.

Since I joined the blackberry world, this would never happen to me. I turn it on each morning while eating a little breakfast to check my schedule. All days off are in the calendar (including our flex days off)- So at worst I would get up and get ready but I'd never make it to work.

Pekka

If that happened to me, I would work half the day and be happy to get some crap done without interruption (plus I wouldn't want to "waste" a trip to work. But then I would leave halfway through and be happy that I had a free afternoon I had not planned for

[KrazyHorse]

We don't get May Day off in North America. So I'm at work. But in my heart I'm throwing Molotov cocktails at capitalist oppressors.

That counts, right?

[KrazyHorse]

God, I almost hope I do end up working at a finance job. I'll wear a button that says "Property is Theft" or something. It'll be awesome, like Joker wearing a peace symbol while writing "Born to Kill" on his helmet.
