May 1st in China is a national holiday called "May Day". This year, May 1st was a Thursday, so Friday was a day off as well. But that made Friday a free day off, because it wasn't an actual holiday. To make up the workday, Sunday, May 4th, was designated a 'working holiday' and deemed a workday like any other.
So everybody came to work on Sunday. I don't know why that weirds me out so much, but it does. And even though I'm prone to superlatives, this really will be the longest official work week of my entire life.
