Just a holiday coincidence
I received an email reply from one of our suppliers, a company in Germany, regarding a question I had. And the guy wrote that he will go over the problem on Friday, since tomorrow (Thursday) they have a public holiday.
Immediately I tried to think about what happens on May 5th this year. And naturally, the first thing that came to mind was Holocaust remembrance day, which is the main event around here tomorrow.
I didn’t take the idea too seriously, of course. It’s just that the thought of Germany having a public holiday to celebrate the Holocaust remembrance day was so… elegant, that I couldn’t entirely disregard it. Was certainly worth a few chuckles.
The guy isn’t nearly good enough a friend for me to pull an embarrassing practical joke on him by replying with something like “Have a happy Holocaust day, then“. That’s not the sort of humour one can use with work relations. So I just wished him a happy Ascension day instead.
