Lightly Seared on the Reality Grill<p><strong>Up the workers</strong></p><p>May 1st is Labour Day, also known as International Workers’ Day, and in Belgium it’s a public holiday. I still find it a bit strange to have a public holiday on whatever day it falls, rather than shifting it to the next Monday as tends to happen in the UK, but this does make for a very easy week workwise.</p><p>In effect, I had a two day week, followed by a one day weekend, followed by a two day week for which a sizable chunk of the company had taken the time off.
