People who adamantly want to work from home as much as possible, but dont want to acknowledge the realities that comes with that.
For instance, I said I'd get back to a client tomorrow and he says:
"Oh? You dont have tomorrow off? Um...I probably dont get tomorrow off either. We usually get Parade Day off but I'm scheduled to work tomorrow."
Well...yeah. Many office workers would get Parade Day off because getting in and out of Downtown on Parade Day is a nightmare and lots of people are off...but when you're working in a basement in Bonavista its just...Friday.

I've always only gotten a half day for the stampede parade and it was to attend it, had nothing to do with commuting to the core on parade day - most of the places that gave the half day weren't even located downtown
