Biography 222: Celebrating payday


 One of my colleagues, "Laboni," started a new trend with us in Bangladesh. She said every month, we will celebrate our payday. After getting paid, all our colleagues will go to a restaurant and have lunch together. Everyone will pay their own bill, so there is no pressure on one person. And we will have a good time together by having lunch.

I continued it as much as possible. Later, due to a financial crisis, I had to stop it. I thought I might start it in Canada. But I found people are not that interested in having lunch together here. Paydays are weekly or biweekly, and everyone has a different work schedule. No one likes anyone. So, I even couldn't think of starting it over here.
