Working on Easter morning for possibly my first
time ever, I observed a few things:
1. A co-worker said that probably 10 years from now, all (or
most) stores will be open on all holidays, given the rate
things are going now. Many stores already remain open on
Thanksgiving.
2. Customers expect stores to be open on holidays. Normally
Easter is slow where I work; today was slow but less so than
past years, according to another co-worker.
3. Celebration and worship are possible even if you’re not
in church. Today’s shift was filled with greetings of “Happy
Easter” and even “Christ is risen!”
4. Even my musical endeavors have their roots in Easter. My
first performance in many years was an original song called
“He’s Not Here,” sung before over 500 people at a special
Easter service at Craig High School in Janesville in 2005.
Just random stuff, I guess. I had a good day at work but still
wished I had been in church instead. Next year, I’ll be more
inclined to drop my shift if I’m assigned one.
