I have a 3-day weekend given the holiday. I have to say I am glad to have the MLK holiday off, but part of me will enjoy the “in between” time from February-May. I prefer my vacation time to national holidays. Vacation is me time. On national holidays everything stops. Everyone’s out on the road and nobody’s working. When I have vacation I can still transact business and such. I just don’t have to be at work. It feels freer. I’m not saying I don’t want the holidays off. Just that I enjoy the vacation time more.

So I’m selfish.
