I love to wake up at the crack of noon, unfortunately my boss wants me at work earlier than that during the week, and my family keeps making plans for things on Saturday mornings.
I always figured that Garfield would stay in bed until dinner time on Mondays but I guess that lunch is very important for him regardless if it is Monday.
When I became an adult, holidays didn’t have much meaning. I was in the Navy and a watchstander (shift worker) who frequently had to work on holidays. The only was you could get that day off when you had duty was to put in a leave chit. Not to mention, when I was onboard ships, we worked every day of the week while at sea besides the fact I was away from my wife and kids. It was only when I retired and worked a regular civilian job did I enjoy those holidays and the extra time off. Now that I’m really retired, holidays, again have lost their luster except for birthdays, Thanksgiving, Christmas and Easter seasons. They what I look forward to.

A while back, I asked a friend what time he woke up on Saturdays. He responded, “Sunday”.

This Monday is different, Garfield. It’s Labor Day in the United States. You can stay in bed all day!! Woo hoo!

I thought that Garfield didn’t like Labor Day, as stated in a Monday strip all the way back in 1979.

To clarify Garfield’s wake up comment, he means Tuesday at noon.

Today being Labor Day (i.e., a day off), this is one Monday when I’m not jealous of Garfield.
