#367 - Thursday Holidays: The Workplace Disruption,

• Benja Welldone • Episode 367

Share episode

Thursdays are the absolute worst day for holidays because you have to return to work the very next day, creating a disjointed break that feels unsatisfying and disruptive to the normal workflow.

• Holidays should be celebrated on their actual date but observed on Fridays to create long weekends
• Thanksgiving's scheduling on the fourth Thursday of November is unnecessarily confusing and arbitrary 
• Working for a few days, having a midweek holiday, then returning to work creates a psychological "second Monday" effect
• The ideal solution would be to keep Monday and Friday holidays as they are, but shift Tuesday-Thursday holidays to Fridays
• Consistency in holiday scheduling would create more meaningful breaks that connect with weekends

Check me out! I'm Benja Welldone. Peace.

Speaker 1:

What's up party people. So here's the thing. I hate holidays on a Thursday why? Because the very next day, on Friday, you got to go back to work. It's absolute madness, you know. I feel like holidays should be celebrated on the day that it says like the specific date, okay, and observed on a Friday. I don't care if the holiday was on a Monday. Okay, celebrate it on a Monday, observe it on a Friday. Okay, celebrate it on a Monday, observe it on a Friday. Why? So you can take that weekend and add it together. Take Juneteenth, for example. Great holiday of Juneteenth just happened yesterday. That's a Thursday, should be federally observed on Friday, but no, you got to go back to work.

Speaker 1:

What's even crazier is take Thanksgiving, for example. Thanksgiving is the fourth Thursday of the month. It doesn't even have a number, it doesn't even have a date. That's what's even crazier about Thanksgiving. You know, do? I love great food and putting on sweatpants for dinner. You're damn right, you know. However, your honor.

Speaker 1:

If I just may point out, if the month of November starts on a Thursday, it's not the last Thursday of the month, it's the fourth. So there could be five Thursdays in the month of November, and it's not the last Thursday. It's the fourth one. It's so confusing, like what crazy person got put in charge to saying we are not going to have a holiday? Remember, like you know what? Let's just have it be a floating holiday. I'm thinking like the fourth Thursday of the month. You know, he probably like lost a bet when they were figuring out when they're going to do it, okay, and uh, just to see if he can get away with it, and the guy didn't care, like the actual shot caller of the decision. You know the guy that shuts down like bad ideas, and he was like you know what, I'm busy, I got this thing to do, let's just do it. Fourth Thursday of the month. We all agree, we don't. Okay, well, I'm the king. So yeah, no pun intended, you've got to be careful. A king, it's crazy. He's kind of won the popular vote not getting into politics, but he's definitely not a king. It's very strange. It's very strange.

Speaker 1:

But yeah, I hate holidays on a Thursday. You know what I mean? It's the absolute worst, you know? Another reason I don't like it is because whenever there is a holiday that's on a Thursday, or even have at this a Wednesday or Tuesday, whatever, all right, if it's on a Monday, I can live with it All right, because it's like you're adding on to the weekend. But who wants to go to work for like two days, be off on a Wednesday and go back to more? That's like psychologically having a second Monday of the week. You know what I mean. It doesn't necessarily have to be Thursdays. That I hate.

Speaker 1:

I just hate not having holidays compressed together. You know, you can celebrate them on one day, observe them on another, and I feel like consistency as far as consistency goes and whatnot, yeah, you should definitely. You should definitely, if the holiday already falls, have. If it's. If the holiday already falls on a Monday, leave it as is. This is going to be my golden rule. Right? If a holiday already falls on a Monday, leave it as is.

Speaker 1:

It falls on a Friday, okay. Falls on a Friday, leave it as is All right. Why Monday? Because the weekend adds together, friday adds together to the weekend. But if it's on a Tuesday or Thursday, let's just push it forward, guys, let's not? Let's stop being so crazy. Ok, man, why don't I come up with all the good ideas? You know, I hope that's Donald Trump's next act of a presidency is taking any holiday that falls on a Tuesday to a Thursday and having it being pushed forward to a Friday. It just makes sense.

Speaker 1:

Man, listen, I don't claim to be the smartest or the most attractive, even though both of those are definitely true. I'm super humble, right, that is a joke. But yeah, guys, for real, like it's just absolute madness, if you like, going to work for two days, being off and then going back to work again. We can't be friends. We can't be friends. I can't support you. I don't like. It. Get out of my face Sounds a little aggressive, right, but I'm very definitive in my decisions and I'm pretty firm on this. Shit's gay, shit's crazy. So anyway, with that being mentioned, I hope everybody has a beautiful day and I hope you observed, enjoyed your day off yesterday, and I hope today is really awful for you. I mean not really, but I mean I hope you just think about what I said when you're at work today listening to this podcast, thinking man, he's got a point, let's write a letter, okay, to Donald to get some shit done. I'm Benji Welldone, check me out. Peace.
