Chinese New Year auntie uncle time

Verily I tell you, 90% of my relatives will not survive cancel culture in the West.

Ah, Chinese New Year.

That time of the year when I beg my bosses if I could work so that I could give my parents a valid excuse to not visit relatives.

I used to work for a newspaper where they would gladly accept my offer (news never sleeps!), but one year my editor told me: "Eh, your mother better not come after me one day for making you work on Chinese New Year, okay?"
