School and (of course) the banks are shut down, it's pissing me off. I've got shit to do and I can't do it through an ATM. Now I get to do it tomorrow, in addition to starting classes.

that sucks that they just sprung it on you at the last minute so you didn't have time to plan around bank closures. :awe:

I know, right? It's mostly my fault because I can't be bothered to plan what I'm going to do three days in advance, but what's the point of bank holidays anyway? This isn't ye olden days when there were two to five guys at the bank every hour of every day it's open, taking a holiday is as simple as scheduling someone else to cover your shift.

Besides that, most of us work on the same days and times that banks are open, and they close just before we get off. A business should make its schedule work for its customers, not the other way around.

Yet somehow the banks stay in business.
