I hate holidays

Most people cheer when unexpected public holidays are announced. It's one more day away from work, to play, to rest, to enjoy ourselves. 

The thing is - life doesn't give us holidays. We still need to put food on the table. The client still needs the project delivered by the same deadline. We still need to pay our staff on time. To me, forced holidays are disruptive. I'd rather take holidays, for rest and for play, on my terms. We don't need holidays to escape our work when we find work we love, or we learn to find love in our work.
