Zombie cat, with job

Well Someone Has To Do It.
Congratulations/commiserations to Reto, who rejoins the world of the living dead, I mean working dead, I mean fully employed (actually his new job is only 80%), today. On May Day, which is apparently unusual/appalling/ironic (or something). If only we had a public holiday today too (like Zurich does, and possibly other cantons too, but I can't be sure) then I wouldn't have been woken up at 6.30am. Although I might have been woken up at 7am anyway by the marching band that marched past making a racket for no good reason. Grr.

I realize he likely had to start the job because it's May 1st. But it's still strange to me that someone would start a new job on a Friday.
And I think Mayday is a holiday in the German-speaking world. Which might help to explain all those Mayday Poles you see in towns and villages all over Germany, Austria und der Schweiz.
I agree, starting a job on a Friday is ludicrous.
I don't think it's really possible to make generalisations about where the 1st of May is a holiday, though. R is working in Berne (ie. german) and it's not a holiday there. I've always assumed that the french have a 1st of May holiday, but none of the frenchy cantons that I'm affiliated with (ie. Vaud and Fribourg) have a holiday either. Grr.
Congratulations to Reto, who seems to have grown quite a lot of facial hair since last I saw him. But the psychedelic tie suits him well. Matches those spaced out eyes, dude.
He's so furry.
he sure is
