Wow, I've never worked anywhere where we got the whole day for Good Friday! I think one job we had a half-day.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I've never gotten Good Friday off. But many of our clients do, so things are often slow for us on Good Friday.
I have Friday AND Monday as holidays. (Also I'm off on Tuesday.)

Canadian twitter is basically a tire fire RN.
We get "spring holiday" which haaaaaapens to always coincide with good Friday. But we don't get Presidents' Day or MLK day.
I don't think I've ever had it off in any other job, which is presumably why I forgot I had it off last year. Assuming I did, because who remembers anything?
Wait- today is Thursday?!? I can't believe I thought it was Wednesday. We usually get off early, but I will probably go to the theatre and sand clothes.
I'm always pretty surprised to have Good Friday off, I don't think I have anywhere else. But I'll take it!
I had no reason to know when Easter was for a long time, since Spring Break in college was just the third week of March, pretty much. I had a funny conversation with one of my coworkers the other day - he was saying he grew up LDS and they didn't do Good Friday or "Fat Thursday" or saints, so I gave some Catholic and Orthodox the low down, probably confused more than it clarified. Extra funny to me, though, because it was about a day after we discussed how I didn't have anything planned for this weekend and Passover is still a month off. I have layers.
Sand clothes?
I've only had Good Friday off when working for European companies (like now).

The fuck?! Because even in 2016, the word of one man is clearly more reliable than the word of 3 women. I wonder how many women need to testify under oath before a man's singular version of events doesn't outweigh their combined testimony?
Although perhaps I should be more circumspect, maybe the judge wasn't quite as reprehensible as he comes across in that article.
I think that some of you could probably use this: [link]
