Cannonball flop into joy!
A four-day weekend.
It takes just a little of the shine off it to discover that Monday is to be a national holiday here in China (the government is this year reallocating some of the former 'Golden Week' May Day holiday to other more traditional Chinese holidays - on this occasion, it's the Dragon Boat Festival..... well, actually that's Sunday, but close enough), but it's still a very welcome cessation of hostilities after the both-ends-of-the-candle burning riot of the past two months.
I got off work at 8pm last night, and I don't have another damn thing to do until Tuesday afternoon. Woo-hoo!!

Of course, you refer to the iconic Simpsons moment, which I will quote in full out of principle.
Marge: "The plant called and said if you don't come in tomorrow, don't bother coming in on Monday"
Homer: "Woohoo! 4 Day Weekend!"
Yes, always one of my favourites!
Isn't he getting Marge to call in his Thursday sickie to Smithers for him?
Nope... I believe the plant calls him...
Hmm, which episode is that? I have a strong feeling that he was cravenly asking Marge to phone in sick for him.
And was it not actually 'Five day weekend!' It should have been, since he'd begun his skiving on Thursday, and was anticipating a Thursday-through-Monday doss.
