I've got MLK off, and I'm taking a personal day tomorrow. Go team 4-day weekend!
Two years ago we lost President's Day, Patriot's Day (which is pretty much only celebrated in Mass. and Maine), and Columbus day because our clients in other states didn't take them. However, we got 3 additional personal days as recompense. Which reminds me, I need to request Patriot's off as coming into Boston on Marathon Monday (and there's always a big Sox day game too) is of the suck.
We get Memorial Day, July 4th, Labor Day, Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years plus two "personal holidays". So 10 is generous in my book.
Add in the day after T'giving, and that's what we've got.
he still felt it was an imposition.
Two words for him: 1990 ADA. Just because some folks require extra assistance because they are disabled...argh. Idiot. If he pushed to have the meeting offsite for the sole reason of the extra work it's going to cause, he could open himself up to a discrimination lawsuit.
He just--he's monomaniacal about production. He resents anything which means he has to be flexible. Sad thing is, I know he thinks his devotion to the work makes him a problem solver, and he doesn't realize his obsession with only ONE part of the work makes him a problem.
Good Friday and Easter Monday, Nora.
Nice!
We get pretty much everything, but not those two days. But, MLK, President's Day, Veteren's Day, Columbus Day, Patriot's Day (which is like the best day off EVER).
I used to get Patriot's Day off here in Missouri when I worked for a company based in Boston.
The kids have off school, which is surprising because I thought they would use the day to make up hurricance days. I work every day.
Now Bob Marley's widow is saying her words were twisted and she will not be moving him.
::glowers at people for whom the concept of day off means something and involves pay::
As I've mentioned, the handful of days that Jilli and I get are ONLY because of companies what have been sued by temps insisting that agencies pretend to care.
I have no idea if Monday is a Company Holiday at Jobplace.
If it is, the only thing it changes for me is how I bill for that time. It occurs to me that the older I get, the more bitter about that I become.
Paul has Monday as a holiday day, but has to work in the morning. The time and a half will be nice, though.
They finally gave us MLK day off a few years back, so we no longer have that long dry spell between New Years and Memorial Day. Add in my six weeks of PTO (I've already taken one day this week for my cold), and it's not a bad set up here.
I work for the Lege
Hayden, mind if I ask which one? My job involves contacting state legs on a regular basis--I might be getting a hold of you someday, and not even know it's you!
