My mom used to get both Washington's Birthday and Lincoln's Birthday off long after President's Day came in to being. In fact, up until she retired a couple of years ago. She worked for county government, and I guess the union wouldn't agree to merge the days? Although with MLK day, it sort of comes out the same.
They're doing it backwards; walking up the down slide.

I think I prefer one in Jan and one in Feb, Lincoln and Washington are so close together. Although I would be happy with a three-day weekend every other week, honestly. Or every week, even. Weekends are never long enough.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Although I would be happy with a three-day weekend every other week, honestly.
I support this plan.
Or every week, even.
Wait, I rescind my support of the first plan and throw my support behind this plan.
I'm one of those people who don't get any holidays between New Years Day and Memorial Day.

Punishingly Intricate
I don't either, tommy. Although we have 2 floating holidays so, in theory, I could take a holiday at any time.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I just found this horrifying/awesome graphic: Tim Armstrong's salary, in distressed babies.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
Okay, that ongoing sinus ick that I mentioned last week? I'm finally going to the doctor for it today. Not looking forward to more antibiotics, but I am looking forward to feeling better.

I want a three day weekend PLUS Wednesdays off. Pretty much, I wish I did not have to work.

I am very much looking forward to retirement! I have quite a while left to anticipate that, alas.

I am booked for Ecuador! Well, I am waiting for the confirmation that I've given them all the info they need to book me for Ecuador, but close enough.
