For some reason, I totally forgot that today is Columbus Day. When you work in retail, holidays don’t have the same meaning as the white collar office rats or the blue collar workers. It is the weekend for big sales on mattresses and a variety of clothing and jewelry items.
I don’t care about the sales right now. What bothered me was not being able to go to the bank and get some cash out. It wasn’t until I pulled up to the drive up window and noticed that all was dark and abandoned that I realized it was a holiday.
