Petition Against Public Holidays

Photo of whiteboard

A friend and former colleague of mine uploaded a photo of a whiteboard to Flickr today he took a couple of years back in the office we used to work from. We were both protesting all the public holidays we experience in South Africa, each costing the economy lots of money. I mean, as if having two sevenths of your days off (the weekends) is not enough. Yes, we were geeks without broadband at home.

The whiteboard reads something like this. I don't know, maybe this is abuse of the blockquote element.

Petition against silly public holidays!

We shall refuse to stay home!

We shall come to work by force!

Yes, we are geeks and we are militant. :P

LOL! Actually it was the telecommunications industry that caused us not to have decent internet access from our residential premises.
