What about people who are not overly busy? Perhaps they're retired, now pursuing leisure-full living. Yet they too do much the same thing; make plans on the “some day” calendar knowing full well empty boxes will stay empty. This later group cannot blame time as their restrictor. What gives?
The confusion in both scenarios is many fold. Time or rather an unrealistic appreciation of it is evident. Who's to say a next Christmas will arrive? How many losses are necessary before we viscerally accept how fragile life is everyday, not just some days?
At another level there are unexpressed assumptions of agreement. How about you; have you ever agreed to participate at a “some day” dinner party because you knew it would never transpire? I know I have on many occasions. The truth is that reasons for “some day” conversations are unlimited but to a degree “some” are authentic and unfortunately they too get discarded.
To protect those genuine few from falling through the cracks, I propose, or should I say declare, a new monthly, one day, holiday called, “WEsome Day”. This is the day reserved for those hard to find the time functions. Like all holidays it will have rules, such as not attaching it to the tail end of vacation time, it must stand alone. It is not affixed to a specific day until your point of job acceptance. Flexibility will be provided to ensure hospitality employees benefit from this day as well. It would also be know as an adult holiday, there are plenty of dates already recognized within the school curriculum.
If there was such a holiday people would have a space on their calendars to record, plan and enjoy, yatta yatta yatt.
