Good Idea: Bring Superior his favorite candy bar all the way from his native Canadia the day before annual review. Check.
Bad Idea: Engage in argument with Superior about the holiday practices of his native Canadia. Also check.
On "Family day*"--
Moi: You guys can't just make up a holiday in February 140 years into your history.
Whitecastle: Have you been to Canada in February? Give us a break.
Getting into fake arguments with Whitecastle may look easy, Dear Readers, but it's best left to professional stunt doubles. I've spent countless hours practicing in front of the mirror to take the right hits and dodge the right bullets. Today, Naive College Intern decided to join in the fray without the proper conditioning (or facts about Canada- you've always got to fact check Canada). It did not end well.
Intern: They celebrate Canada Day even though they're not even independent.
(lengthy spat ensues)
Whitecastle : Somebody needs to go back to college. No- somebody needs to graduate from college.
*Though not a federal holiday, Family Day was relatively recently adopted by 5 provinces (celebrated by ~60% of the country), first in Alberta in 1989 and as recently as 2007 in other provinces. It was designed to coincide with the American President's Day.
