My father in law is the walking stereotype: retired white midwest boomer that beat cancer without spending a dime through veteran benefits, income entirely from social security, lives in a trailer. His son is non working on disability and they use the local food bank to stay above water. They're also among the deepest maga supporters I know. Yeah, there's plenty to talk about.
Oh good lord. I would absolutely love to hear how that goes.

How I celebrate a 3 day weekend: I make it a 4 day weekend lol
Some people use their vacation time to take a week off at once, I use it to make every 3 day weekend a 4 day weekend lol
I salute you. I love the fact that everyone takes off the day before or after a holiday and the entire time between Christmas and New Year. No one is around so I get to sign in, turn on my script to keep my computer from sleeping, and walk away.
I did check the backups this morning. I'm sure some jackass wants to deploy tonight since it's a 3 day weekend. Not my problem and backups are good as of 10am. If they call me out over a holiday weekend my contract is very specific about the on call fee, holiday pay, and minimum hours. So today I'm just hanging out and prepping for Saturday's cook out.

Honestly it's hard to even get in the mood. Everything related to the 4th this year feels like satire.
I haven’t felt patriotic since the 90s. Every 4th feels like I’m surrounded by deluded people.

It's a day off! Be grateful to the overlords
Day off? Lol

Every day is a day off if you quit your job.
Quitting is too much work.
Just stop working and see how long it takes for them to fire you.

Yeah, patriotism always felt fucking weird as a kid growing up in the 90s.
I've been pretty ashamed of my country for a long time.

I haven't worked for twenty years now I just show up and walk around with a clipboard and my phone out.

I work a 4/3, my normal weekends are long weekends. Stat holiday Mondays make for an extra long weekend. Canada Day was a Tuesday this year so I took Monday off and got a 5 day weekend in exchange for 1 vacation day.

Call it what it is: nationalism. I've been weirded out by it since I stopped saying the pledge of allegiance in elementary school.
Fun fact: the pledge was created as part of a campaign to sell more flags to schools.

Nothing to celebrate. Once you wake up to the reality of the world, nothing to celebrate.
