Why does Labour Day holiday have to be on the first of May?
This results in my temporary poverty which will last until Monday 2pm because:
1. This month's pay was paid in cheque - which will only be added to my account on the next clearing day (Monday...)how depressing!
2. My part-time job salary which is supposed to be paid on the 1st of the month is delayed till the next working day...which is...Monday
3. I deposited this months savings (in coins) today and it will only be added to my account on...Monday
All because tomorrow, 1st of May, is Labour day. Why can't it be on the 5th May instead?
Ah, long weekend spent in virtual poverty. How saddening - though not as sad as real poverty. I hope I will learn my lesson through this painful long weekend...
Speaking of which, I am going to explore on the theme of 'relative poverty' in the next story, which will probably be an ongoing series. Anyway, that should come after the continuation of "A Tempestuous Journey Home", which will be ready by...Monday!
