Got up this morning at the usual time (around 6am), showered, dressed, grabbed a cup of coffee, took my medication all in my usual morning daze.
Then got in the car and went down the driveway.
As I prepared to turn onto the road I noticed that the apartment construction site just down the road was deserted.
"Odd," I thought, but drove on with my head filled with plans for the day.
As I drove onto the main road that led to where I work, I noticed a distinct lack of vehicles. Bugger all in fact.
"Odd," I thought, but drove on with my head filled with plans for the day.
I passed a shopping centre and noticed the car park was empty.
"Odd," I thought, but drove on with my head filled with plans for the day.
I got to work and drove into the public car park staff area.
No cars. None. Nil. Zip. Nada.
"Odd," I thought, but got out, locked the car and went to the elevators with my head filled with plans for the day.
Got to the ground floor and out into the mall.
Normally bustling with activity at 7am, but now deserted.
Wait. Was capitalism cancelled? Had some massive disaster occurred that I knew nothing about? Was it the second coming? Hoping not on all counts, I walked to the entrance.
Then I saw a sign saying that there were Anzac Day services across the road.
I live in Australia.
Anzac Day commemorates the landing of Australian forces at Gallipoli during world war 1.
It's a public holiday.
Doh! I'm a dummy.
So I turned around, went back to the car and drove home feeling foolish.
And annoyed because I had a shit-ton of work I wanted to do at work today.
