"Labor Day" should technically be "Labor Free Day", right? Seems to be a misnomer to me. Of course, I've never been one to labor all that intensively. I only take note of it because it amuses me.

Little amuses me.

I'll take what I can get where I can get it.

	Seems stupid. Celebrating working when people just got to go back to it? Doesn't mean anything. Just a way to keep the people who don't have to labor from feeling guilty about making people labor. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	To be fair, the people that first proposed a labor day were laborers. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	They wanted a day off work. Fair enough. My issue is why did they settle for a day? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I think it was more to celebrate workers. This was also the same era that people died for to give us weekends and the forty hour work week. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	When I'm working 40 for someone else? I'll be grateful to them for it. Maybe. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	When you're self-employed, the hours you put in are a little different. There are days I'm doing 15 hours of work. But then, I enjoy my job. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	You should always enjoy what you do. Me? I enjoy everything I do. You could say I work all the time. For my own amusement. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	What is it you do? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I watch people. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Well that's not creepy. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	It's not and it is depends on how I'm feeling. I don't like people unless they're interesting. Then I just watch until they get boring again. Usually doesn't take long. Usually. (Reply to this) (Parent)
