Yes, the wonderful three day weekend is fast approaching, and already I have symptoms. That persistent sore throat, a bit o' nausea, etc... And of course, my friends want to travel out to nowhere and sit in the heat for several hours this weekend!
I'm sure this is just an irrational association, but I do get the impression that I get sick whenever the powers that be decide we should have monday off. Generally speaking, I'd prefer to be sick on an honest-to-goodness work day; that way I could take a proper sick day. This happened to me last year, in fact, I spent much of the holidays sick.
If I were of a conspiratorial mindset I'd think some multi-national corporation has figured out how to communicate with the viruses and bacteria. Imagine the savings, the rise in productivity if people only got sick on days they wouldn't be in the office! After a while, people would come to the office even more, because non-office time would be pretty unpleasant.
