Rest tomorrow, rest again the day after tomorrow

Journalist Lutfi Dervishi

In an announcement that did not upset anyone, the Prime Minister announced March 15 as a holiday!

This decision, covered with as much mystery as the real shareholders of the incinerators, has left the Albanians a little confused about the motives!

"With this decision of the Council of Ministers, we give the opportunity to all state employees who are not part of critical functions, to take one more day off between the Beautiful Summer Day and the weekend that they have off anyway! Happy Summer Day ,” says KM's Instagram post.

Theories about the motives behind this unexpected gift abound. Some suggest that the Prime Minister, in a moment of artistic inspiration, has thought that since Thursday is a holiday, Saturday and Sunday are weekends, the administration will do more harm than good by going to the offices.

Reporters who tweet when talking about the government say that now that the government has advanced with Artificial Intelligence programs, there is no need for people to work. "The administration has worked well, it's time for the robots to work."

Analysts close to the prime minister speak of a secret meeting where the ministers, after seeing the coffee cups, the stars in the sky and the alignment of the planets, concluded that March 15 was a cursed day, and the only way to avoid calamities is to stay in bed as much as possible sleeping.

Sombre heralds rushed to speak of another variant. Sources from INSTAT indicate that the Prime Minister was very worried today by the news that 21,000 young people have run away from work and 27,000 pensioners have taken their place. Of course, a day off is more tiring than relaxing, that's why you need 4 consecutive days off, to honor white hair.

But another version says that the Prime Minister set March 15 as a holiday in gratitude for the agreement to end the revolution that would overthrow him.

However, amid the speculation, the profound impact of this decision cannot be ignored. Researchers who decode the Prime Minister's political communication talk about a "Doctrine of Rest Days" and a plan for Albania to return to a leading country as it belongs to the days of the occupation.

"A country that celebrates with the same enthusiasm both the (many) religious and pagan holidays, naturally it deserves to rest more" - said a Western diplomat from Brussels.

Administration employees caught by surprise are planning how to spend this gift that came to them from above. Ideas range from embarking on spiritual journeys within the confines of the living room to expeditions to the nearest refrigerator and back to continue watching NETFLIX.

In a country where surprise has become routine, and the dividing line between reality and satire blurs like the edges of a beloved novel page, the announcement of an extra day off is nonetheless greeted with enthusiasm.

For the moment, the freedom-loving, peace-loving and work-loving Albanian people will sleep a little longer, dream a little deeper and perhaps, in the midst of the dream and the quarrel, will ask: well Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday is a day off, but is Monday a working day?
