Yeah, the good Spring breaks were the ones the week after Easter because we'd get Good Friday plus a whole week.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

We don't have today off, but I'm not working anyway, so there

The status is NOT quo.
We are off today for Good Friday and for our many Jewish students who have big Passover celebrations starting up.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
So do you usually get Good Friday and also the first day of Passover?

No, we only get Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur as full days off guaranteed. Good Friday just overlaps with the first full day this year.

Rather than getting Good Friday off as a holiday, we get a floating holiday that we can use at any point throughout the year, traditionally employed on one's birthday if workflows cooperate.

some years we get two floating holidays, but I don't think this is one of them.
I was thinking of extending my leave 2-4 weeks, and now I'm feeling guilty about not being at work or not going back "on time". I chatted with the department gossip-monger and she hinted that I might not get my same journals back, and now I'm freaking out a little that I'm messing myself up work-wise. Rationally, probably not, but who's rational? If I were entirely rational, I wouldn't be taking leave.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Back from my MIL's house, where we had the first seder. Second one's there as well.

No guilt, Zen! You do what you need to do.
