Times Like These
Yesterday was Good Friday and also part of Passover, leading the roads and subways to be very empty. Many people were either off or left work early. It's days like yesterday that make me want to be religious. Never mind the fact that I don't believe in god whatsoever. So I was there, sitting in the office, waiting patiently until it was time to leave, while everyone on my buddy list was gone.
I would gladly do one day (not that whole week) of Passover or sit through one 2 hour mass to get that day off. I think I'm missing out. As an Atheist, I've got nothing. Maybe now is the time to find god? Nah, I'll wait until Hanukah or Christmas. What the hell happened to Festivus? That really needs to get off the ground. You think that would be an acceptable holiday to celebrate and take off from work?

what is festivus? Hanukah and Christmas should get together and have a baby. That would be the perfect holiday to use as an excuse to get off from work... wonder what it would be called?

Eh! Do you get one religious holiday a year (of your choosing) off? I do. As an atheist, it comes in really handy. I usually choose the Jewish New Year...maily b/c the weather is nice :) And oh yeah, I'm technically Jewish, if I really think about it.
