You know why I\u2019m not working today?\u00a0\u00a0Confederate Memorial Day<\/em>.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Yessir, a day that only a handful of states actually acknowledge, and really that\u2019s only privy to state workers.\u00a0 A lot of my co-workers often say that it\u2019s embarrassing that Georgia acknowledges it, but I don\u2019t hear them complaining about the paid day off work that comes with it.\u00a0 Personally, it\u2019s funny in an ironic way, but I\u2019m also of the mindset that it\u2019s best to embrace and acknowledge all history, good and bad.\u00a0 It\u2019s what makes things what they are, and it\u2019s what makes Georgia, Georgia.<\/span><\/p>\n
