Before I go to bed (I gulped a pill of Citirizine for the allergic rhinitis that is attacking me again!), I will make my last discussion for the day.
Why is it titled “Longer”? Well, simple. I received a notification on Facebook in our closed group of clinical instructors, from our clinical coordinator, that we won’t be having duty on April 2 and 3 because it will be the semifinal examination of the students. It is a longer vacation for us. All I thought it will be a long weekend. It is not though. It will be a LONGER weekend.
I messaged my colleague Miss Cata that we will go to school on Monday to submit the 3 groups of students’ grades and get our 15-days salary as well.
My eyes are drooping now. I guess I have to sleep, so the sneezing spells will stop. Goodnight from this part of the globe. See you tomorrow, my friends and fellow users.

@ridingbet Monay is Holiday in almost all European countries, but also in Canada, United States of America, most African sates and all the Caribbean Islands. I am surprised that it's not a holiday in your country, as I think to understand that most are Catholic there.

@LadyDuck yes, Roman Catholic is the dominant religious affiliation here in my country. i really am not aware of that holiday; maybe our parish priest did not look in to that.

@ridingbet I hope it doesn't affect your income. When I worked, I had a contract and was given a salary, whether I worked or not.
Happy Easter and thank you!!!

@DianneN my income is greatly affected if we have days without duty. i guess that is the disadvantage of being a part-time employee.

hahaha! yes, it is so yay for me. but i worry if our duty will cut short until next week because that is the last day of our work as printed in our matrix. i hope not yet, since there will be a final exams.
enjoy your long weekend, as always.

@Jessabuma oh dear. just like my advise to a newbie @mlgen1037, can you please not address me as "Ma'am"? we are all equals here, though i address a few women who have distinct personalities and whom i respect much.

actually, coffee should be a sleep stimulant if you drink just a cup. but if you take more than one, you might be stimulated to be awake at night.

i hope you stay safe. i believe the streets are nearly void of traffic, in the towns and suburbs.
