Yes. Absolutely yes. Not because it’s a holiday, but because you deserve a Monday off. And what better day to pretend you’re a rebel than a day that feels like a holiday?
I’m going to submit my PTO request right now. Just to be safe. And if they deny it, I’ll tell them the Force told me to take it.
They’ll either laugh or fire me. Either way, it’s a story.
The final, boring truth
Here it is, no more games: May 4th, 2026, is not a bank holiday in most of the world. It’s a Monday. A workday. A day your alarm clock will still ring.
But that doesn’t mean you can’t celebrate. Buy a lightsaber. Watch the movies. And if anyone asks why you’re smiling at your bank teller, just wink and say, “May the Fourth be with you.”
They probably won’t give you free money. But hey, at least you’re having a better day than the Imperial officers who have to work on a holiday that doesn’t exist.
