A Day of Labor

Here I sit, working on Labor Day. Is this:

A) appropriate?
B) ironic?
C) both?
D) neither?
E) irrelevant?
B.2) ironic not in the literary sense of “poignantly contrary to what was expected or intended” but more in the sense of “ha, that’s slightly coincidental and amusing”, a definition made popular by pop star Alanis Morissette with her hit song “Ironic”?
F) a bad way to spend time at my computer, when I could be reading chromatic’s How to Write Like a Pundit Be a Jackass, Chefs cook up gourmet “fakes”, The Slow Lane, this great naming and branding weblog or re-reading Rebecca Mead’s article on Shaq instead of just wanting to read them?
G) none of the above?
