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!

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.

Edited for sneaky, extra letters.

I have MLK day off, because the students have it off. There are a bunch of holidays the students don't have off, when I have to work; and of course, the "students have time off" thing falls apart when it comes to the three-month vacation thing.

Patriot's Day? As in the Pats?

We get 8 paid company holidays -- our long haul is between President's and Memorial, which isn't so bad, plus a discretionary holiday which I JUST REALISED I FORGOT TO USE LAST YEAR. Damned thing doesn't roll over with the rest of my time off. Dammit. I'll use it early this year. Maybe abutting President's Day.

Patriot's Day? As in the Pats?

Celebration of the battles of Concord and Lexington, aka Boston Marathon Day.
