It's Friday. GOOD!

Since I don't partake in religious activities of any kind but want the holidays off from work, I have decided that I will convert to Judaism - because they get the most days off. But ...does that mean I have to go to Temple?

My boss is Jewish and takes days off for all the Jewish holidays but doesn't give Christian holidays off (except for the big ones) to the rest of us - like today, Good Friday. I was born (baptized) and raised (first communion and confirmation) Catholic (not to mention Catholic school) but have since decided that believing in such nonsense is ridiculous. However, I still feel I am entitled to the holidays because I had to endure so many years of being forced to go to mass to watch my mother cry through the gospel as if she was somehow a better person than the rest of us non-cryers. [insert photo of my mom turning to me in the pew with tears in her eyes and nodding her head as if to say, YES, I AM SOBBING FOR GOD]

Day off or not, I am happy it's Friday. Two days of freedom are better than none.

Maybe your Mom wasn't sobbing, for God?
Maybe something joyous pulled at her heart?
You seem to think she was miserable?
Did you ever think to ask her about the crying?
You apparently don't understand her! Maybe she doesn't understand you?
Why don't you talk to her about it?

That is all totally possible.
