August and everything after
I have decided that August should be a month of vacation.
For everyone. In the whole country.
Except maybe hotel and restaurant peeps, who could only have 2 weeks off. Same for hospital and nursing home staff. And maybe one dentist per practice would have to stick around for emergency root canals and such.
Otherwise, I say we shut ‘er down.
And I mean everything. Offices go dark. Mechanics quit fixing stuff. Bloggers quit blogging. 24-hour news channels, the scourge of modern life, just shut off their programming and run old-timey clips of animals, like a chimp washing a cat. (It couldn’t be any worse than what they do now.)
All websites put up a big “Returning September 1” banner and go offline.
August is a useless month, work-wise, and should be spent somewhere cool and fun. Like the beach or the mountains or another country.
Six weeks of paid vacation, four of which need to be taken during August.
This is my socialist plan.
