How dare they try to make me spend time with my family, WHAT ABOUT MY FREEDOM!?!?!?!?!


MY-- FREEEEEEEEeeEEEDOM!!

lol

More seriously though, I can understand it's a bit frustrating given a busy schedule and now you finally get a day off and on that day off that you wanted to play you can't... The frustration makes sense! If you do have family to spend time with though, then def. do that! We have a hard time with keep traditions up due to a whole bunch of reasons, and so keeping the 4th as a family day with BBQ feels like... almost a cultural duty lol. If you're American (since I assume you're getting the day off on the 4th- if you're just upset with maintenance and the 4th means nothing to your schedule then I don't know what to say.. cause.. maintenance has to happen sometime lol).

It probably wouldn't be a terrible idea to have it not on a major country federal holiday though, but I just want to say try to keep the tradition alive if you can- it's a good one (to spend time with family). Like Lunar New Year type stuff.
