Not to make a mountain out of a molehill but I am so sick and tired of Christianity dictating public holidays. Easter should not be a public holiday. It is, at it’s core, a religious holiday, and if I have nothing to do with that religion then this holiday has no right to affect my life at all, and yet it does. It’s a stupid thing to be mad at but like, fuck it, I’m mad.
I work at a bottle shop. I had 14 hours this week, which is enough and it’ll pay the bills. Friday is good Friday so I lost my regular friday shift, meaning I have eight hours this week. not exactly idea. and yes, sunday is public holiday pay, which means i’m making more than i usually do, but th idea that a religious holiday can force our liquor store to close is, to me, a cause for concern. And another thing, double demerits. Higher penalties for traffic offences occur on all public holidays, but in this articular case we are being penalised at a higher than usual rate because Jesus Died? Why the fuck should I care if Jesus died, and why the fuck should it mean i get twice the fine? Someone actually give me one single valid reason why easter should be a public holiday
