- The first Monday in September.
-According to a dumbass in my class, the holiday where everyone gets drunk and happy (St. Patrick's Day).
-Everyone knows when it is, but no one really knows exactly what it is.
Mr. B- "You know, the holiday where everyone gets drunk and happy..."
Dumbass- "Labor Day!"
The first Monday in September. Made to honor the working men and women in the United States, though mainly known for cookouts, parades, days off from work and school (which is usually just beginning) and being the official last day of summer (while the last day is technically Sept. 20, almost every summer related activity shuts down after Labor Day).
Me and my girlfriend had a killer Labor Day weekend. Now I'm depressed knowing I have to go back to work and that Autumn is right around the corner.
Every day that I have to drag my lazy ass out of bed and go to my shitty job.
Goddamnit, it's 6 am. I've got to get up for work. Another Labor Day!
