Thanks! You summed it up a lot better than I did. I think I was just so
****ed off that I kept on rambling.

But it reminded me of those people who get ticked off when stores are open
on holidays. They say that everyone deserves a day off! I guess they are
forgetting that tons of people from health care to military to law officers
must work on holidays. And people who work in stores generally know that
they won't get to choose their days off and some of them even WANT to work
on holidays. Maybe they want the extra money they are likely to be paid.
Or maybe even if they do celebrate the holiday, they are alone where they
live and would rather just work to take their mind off of their family. Or
maybe like you said, to them it is just another day.
