#367 - Thursday Holidays: The Workplace Disruption,

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.

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:01):
What's up party people.
So here's the thing.
I hate holidays on a Thursdaywhy?
Because the very next day, onFriday, you got to go back to
work.
It's absolute madness, you know.
I feel like holidays should becelebrated on the day that it
says like the specific date,okay, and observed on a Friday.
I don't care if the holiday wason a Monday.

(00:21):
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 weekendand add it together.
Take Juneteenth, for example.
Great holiday of Juneteenthjust happened yesterday.
That's a Thursday, should befederally observed on Friday,
but no, you got to go back towork.
What's even crazier is takeThanksgiving, for example.
Thanksgiving is the fourthThursday of the month.

(00:44):
It doesn't even have a number,it doesn't even have a date.
That's what's even crazierabout Thanksgiving.
You know, do?
I love great food and puttingon sweatpants for dinner.
You're damn right, you know.
However, your honor.
If I just may point out, if themonth of November starts on a
Thursday, it's not the lastThursday of the month, it's the

(01:08):
fourth.
So there could be fiveThursdays in the month of
November, and it's not the lastThursday.
It's the fourth one.
It's so confusing, like whatcrazy person got put in charge
to saying we are not going tohave a holiday?
Remember, like you know what?

(01:29):
Let's just have it be afloating holiday.
I'm thinking like the fourthThursday of the month.
You know, he probably like losta 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 theguy didn't care, like the actual
shot caller of the decision.
You know the guy that shutsdown like bad ideas, and he was
like you know what, I'm busy, Igot this thing to do, let's just

(01:51):
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 popularvote not getting into politics,
but he's definitely not a king.
It's very strange.

(02:11):
It's very strange.
But yeah, I hate holidays on aThursday.
You know what I mean?
It's the absolute worst, youknow?
Another reason I don't like itis because whenever there is a
holiday that's on a Thursday, oreven 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'slike you're adding on to the

(02:32):
weekend.
But who wants to go to work forlike two days, be off on a
Wednesday and go back to more?
That's like psychologicallyhaving a second Monday of the
week.
You know what I mean.
It doesn't necessarily have tobe Thursdays.
That I hate.
I just hate not having holidayscompressed together.
You know, you can celebratethem on one day, observe them on

(02:54):
another, and I feel likeconsistency as far as
consistency goes and whatnot,yeah, you should definitely.
You should definitely, if theholiday already falls, have.
If it's.
If the holiday already falls ona Monday, leave it as is.
This is going to be my goldenrule.
Right?
If a holiday already falls on aMonday, leave it as is.
It falls on a Friday, okay.

(03:16):
Falls on a Friday, leave it asis All right.
Why Monday?
Because the weekend addstogether, friday adds together
to the weekend.
But if it's on a Tuesday orThursday, let's just push it
forward, guys, let's not?
Let's stop being so crazy.
Ok, man, why don't I come upwith all the good ideas?
You know, I hope that's DonaldTrump's next act of a presidency

(03:39):
is taking any holiday thatfalls on a Tuesday to a Thursday
and having it being pushedforward to a Friday.
It just makes sense.
Man, listen, I don't claim to bethe smartest or the most
attractive, even though both ofthose are definitely true.
I'm super humble, right, thatis a joke.

(04:04):
But yeah, guys, for real, likeit's just absolute madness, if
you like, going to work for twodays, 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 alittle aggressive, right, but

(04:25):
I'm very definitive in mydecisions and I'm pretty firm on
this.
Shit's gay, shit's crazy.
So anyway, with that beingmentioned, I hope everybody has
a beautiful day and I hope youobserved, enjoyed your day off
yesterday, and I hope today isreally awful for you.

(04:46):
I mean not really, but I mean Ihope you just think about what
I said when you're at work todaylistening 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 meout.
Peace.
