Public holidays are a blessing and now I understand why people in the workforce look forward to them so much !

It is a wonderful time to take a break, spend some time with the family, do some errands, have a nice meal, get some extra sleep, meet some friends, do some reading or studying, cook a little, shop a little and even love a little more.

And the best thing is that you do not have to apply for it. No wonder many have plans laid out in advance for public holidays ! Some even apply for some annual leave to run after or before these holidays to make the most of it and go for an extended trip, or rest.

I suppose that is why many have already planned their leave months in advance sometimes. Colleagues are kept in the now as someone has to pick up the slack while you are having a holiday on a sunny beach in Bahamas ! But tit for tat, you have to do the same when they go for holidays of their own. The real pity about that is it means that rarely will you be able to go for any holidays with friends from the same department. Sad. But also understandable. Imagine the whole army of secretaries going on leave ! It would be like a strike ! And then because everyone is so specialised within their departments, noone would be able to figure out what to do....Chaos will reign.
