Ass. Hat.
Aren't they something. They're like butterflies, or little pieces of wrapping paper blowing around.

Not having has never been the thing I've regretted most in my life. Not trying is.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
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.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

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.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
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.

Our wings are not tired.
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.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
::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.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil
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!

We don't get President's Day off, but we do get the first day of hunting season in November, as well as election day.
Why, you ask? UAW negotiated holidays. Plants were shutting down because so many people would call off sick, that it made sense to just make the day a holiday.
So what do we get? New Year's Day, MLK, Inauguration Day (only because we're in DC), Good Friday, Easter Monday, Friday before Memorial Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Election Day, Thanksgiving, Day after Thanksgiving, Christmas Day, and the week off in between Christmas and New Year's. In total, about 16 days off, depending on where Christmas and New Year's fall.
