Happy first may everyone! i don't know what the deal is in your guys countries but here, we get the day off and there are free concerts nearby (organised by those damn socialists, how dare they to have any fun? :lol:

)

anyway, I hope you got the day off, and enjoy it.

(you see, USA, socialism can do something good! :goodjob:

)

Cruel world, I have a midterm in roughly 10 hours.

After which, I shall be celebrating in spirit.

Where are you? Here in Norway its also a day off, most people (like me) go to parties the night before and use the day to sleep it off. Thats how we celebrate the workers

Why, today is Loyalty Day in the U S of A.

It's Workers Day here in Spain too, and the start of a 4 day weekend.

RedRalph · May 1, 2008

May Day just ain't the same without display of Soviet heavy weaponry. Time flies...

How come there's no rightwing day? for the executives and managers or something?

Because every other day is rightwing day. this is as much of a discussion as many other threads that arent being threatened with closure, Pink Floyd Pig, thread progression etc.

Many nationalist holidays are quite right wing.

cthom · May 1, 2008

we don't get a day off here. but we do get to wash our face in the morning dew.

most national holidays are right wing. at least our national holiday was pushed through by a fringe right-wing party.

not that I mind another day off

anyway, I'm enjoying the 4-day weekend, though I never do anything special on may day

Labor Day has been royally nerfed here. :gripe:

Used to be a week long holiday. Now it's just 1 day. Our company swapped Friday and Sunday so that we get a 3 day weekend (but next Sunday becomes a working day).

If any people out there still want proof China is turning away from communism look no further.

To make things worse due to external circumstances my team has to work OT through this holiday. :cry:
