Nobody wants to work on a holiday. When someone sends you a file to be updated on a holiday, the entire day's planning goes for a toss. On these days one wants to relax, make a good breakfast, and binge-watch stuff. Depending on the person you are, the planning for a holiday is bound to be different.
Some want it spend it with a slow and cozy vibe, others want to pace up their long piling chores. Others would simply get the nail appointment fixed or run through the nearest grocery store.
With just one buzz of your phone or ping in that inactive work group, it all gets spoilt. Therefore, holiday work evokes mixed feelings. For the over-achievers, it offers an opportune day to outperform others at work or earn a little extra. For others, it is a good mood wasted.
Festive leaves are the time for celebration. It is the time for family gatherings and dinner with friends and kin. When you have to work simultaneously while managing the gifts that you plan on buying and wrapping for your friends and relatives, you basically have to juggle between two worlds. This is what makes the holiday work situation humorous and meme-worthy.
Another aspect of working during a festive leave is the laziness that almost disables our mind and body and remains convinced to stop co-operating with us.
Big yawns through the work hour, spine aches, and headaches accompany the already funny situation and for those working from home, it creates a lot of chaos. But finding humor in mundane and chaotic situations is exactly what the memetic universe is all about. Laughing through problems cannot make the problem go away, but it can surely make our hearts lighter as we fight through our ordeals.
For retail workers, holidays are indeed the time for overtime. From Thanksgiving to Christmas, to the black Friday rush, they have to stay all up and ready to attend to customers. This is only one industry/sector. Holiday work is disappointing for many other sectors and industries as well.
As the phones keep buzzing with colleagues' and co-workers' collections of funny rants and texts, you should also stay ready with your own collection of laughter-worthy memes and jokes. Working on a holiday also means that one will be constantly chased by the fear of missing out on the fun and family time. What else to help you tackle with this but a collection of funny memes?
