Saturday at the same time holiday

It is National Foundation Day today, at the same time Saturday. I feel it is a shame to be the national holiday on Saturday because if the holiday is weekday I could get a day off of work. If the holiday is on Sunday you can get a day off on Monday in Japan instead. But I don't feel my advantage if I can get the alternative holiday, I think I deserve it. It's what man is really about, or just me?
