I'm not a religious person. I'm not a moron either. I know the whole "Why people celebrate Easter" and all that other good stuff. I'm lost as to why Easter is now associated with bunnies, foil candies, and plush, pastel chicks wearing bowties on sale at Walgreens for $1.99.

Late last night I get a call from my friend who was freaking out because she forgot to get the makings of an Easter basket for her three year old son. I told her just to give him a bag of M&M's and a paper airplane, he would be just as happy. After the promise of a beer afterward, we decided to brave the late night masses at out local 24 hour store options. Super K and Walgreens. I hate Super K during the day. After midnight, and after smoking a bowl, it's hilarious. We're in our favorite section, Hair Care/Liquor, when a chirpy, homosexualesque male voice screams at us over the loudspeaker to hop on over to the Easter section for the BEST in Easter deals! Only at Super K! Oh yeah, we did come in here for a reason. We make our way to Home and Garden.....I mean...the Easter section and get prepared for the BEST in Easter deals! Maybe if we came a week ago. All that was left was a few bags of plastic eggs, some of that fake grass, and $30.00 pink and blue bunnies. Not even a lone cadbury egg survived the fallout. So sad.

Walgreens is the shit. They catered to our late night Easter needs, and we didn't get screamed at to hop anywhere. O'Doyle RULES!

One more thing. The place I work is closed Christmas Day, Thanksgiving Day, and Easter. We get holiday pay for Christmas and Thanksgiving but not Easter. The reason? "Easter is a religious holiday." Well what the fuck is Christmas then?

So if "your place" is closed on easter....how then can you expect holiday pay? Unless you work for one of those places where they just give you money for having a pulse on a particular holiday....in which case STOP YOUR BITCHING!!!
