I hate official holidays (4-day weekends here in Canada). They ALWAYS come at the worst times for me (yes, stores are closed for the most part and there are few services). Deeply inconvenient, and so last-century.

It's okay of no one agrees with me on this. I'm just whining. It's a big trigger for me not to be able to get what I need for a few days on end, especially in Winter. (((whine, whine.))) Also because time is at a premium this week, and I have only so much energy to go around. I hate being caught short.
