I remember years ago, on a Thanksgiving week when we had Thursday and Friday off, somebody mentioned that Tuesday was simultaneously Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday -- the second day, the middle day, and the second-to-last day of the week.Three-day weekends with Mondays off are much better, IMO, than with Fridays off. You have a long weekend, but then a short week to look forward to. Whereas the other way you enjoy the short week, then the long weekend, then it's back to the grind. Ugh.
Yeah, I agree with you on that!
Then you should all be very sorry for poor little us.We have no holidays at all between Midsummer (24 June) and Xmas (24 Dec)!!!!!
I do not feel sorry for Europeans for their lack of time off. So, OK, fewer official holidays. How many vacation days does the average person get?Last time I checked (I'm not sure I checked Sweden specifically, but still) ... most people got at least four weeks off.
Why should we feel sorry for the people who inflicted Ikea on an unsuspecting world?
That is awful. No legal holiday from Midsummer Day to Christmas? How do you all stand it?
It's very clear to me that you have yet to discover the many blessings of IKEA!Modern life is impossible without a visit to IKEA at least every two or three years!
