Went for a long walk on my way to pick up groceries.
A worker that I haven't seen in a while was on cash. I like her 'cause she's always so nice; she reminds me of my mom.
She called next in line, but some elderly person got confused and went ahead of me.
And of course - as has been established - I didn't mind, and just prepared to wait for them (they were buying a jar of jam or something).
The cashier said, "oh, wrong lady; but it's okay."
I was too giddy to notice the, "It's okay," was because someone opened the cash right beside me.
I legit forgot what that day was called for a minute.
There are too many holidays.
Maybe instead of inventing a billion holidays, to stem the hemorrhaging of workers from burnout...
We wipe out the vast swathes of useless jobs; use technology to fill in the gaps; and let everyone "pull their weight" with a few hours of work every few weeks.
Then we can just celebrate the equinoxes and soltices. Like the gods intended.
Week long parties of drinking; gaming; and orgies 4 times a year.
Who's with me?
I mean, holidays these days are all like...
- Religion X says Thing Y happened a billion years ago;
- Person Z fell out of vagina A a billion years ago; or
- Group B successfully killed or didn't get killed by Group C a billion years ago.
These are just breeding grounds for trauma and pain.
But my plan? It's just everyone having a party because the Earth and/or moon did a thing.
It's like throwing a party everytime the DVD logo hits the corner.
Sure, we're celebrating the solar system doing the thing it's done since before life existed in it... But that's just as valid - if not more so - than the rest of the shit we throw a party for.
