May already? The global parent corporation of the company I work for launched an international intranet page recently, which includes a calendar of (among other events) all company holiday closings for its offices in different countries. Which only underscores how few mandated holidays we Americans have. (I don’t mean to say we should have more holidays per se, but at least more leisure time.) Today our offices in Poland, Germany, and France are closed for Labour Day. In Japan, this Saturday is Constitution Memorial Day, and Children’s Day is on Monday. And the list goes on.
