Posted February 20, 200619 yr comment_4544084 ... at my job it would be, it would BE SO NICE. Dead here today. Are most of you guys off for Presidents Day or working? I've always thought this a bit of a silly holiday, just because it's not about family or even a really good time of the year to be off from work, but it sure does give banks and post offices an excuse to inconvenience us.
February 20, 200619 yr comment_4544309 I don't think we've EVER gotten a day off for President's Day. I didn't even know that was possible until a few years back. I've only got one class (the film one) today, so I'm not really stressing over it. Seems like if you get MLK Day off, you should get this off, too. Of course, we had school on MLK Day, too, so whatever.
February 20, 200619 yr comment_4544539 We are off. Makes up for working Christmas Eve and New Years Eve, and the Monday after Christmas. Loss, they at least give u a floating holiday? To be honest, I prefer those than having off on some of these bullshit days. Like I'd rather give myself a three day weekend in the spring or summer.

I think they do that for full-timers though.
February 20, 200619 yr comment_4544585 I hate holidays like President's Day. You try to get something done and it turns into a comical game of roulette as you find out who's closed and who's open. What's the point of having federal holidays when most people don't get any of them off besides Christmas (maybe)?
February 20, 200619 yr Author comment_4544617 In a kinda cute moment, my younger cousin recently asked me why we have Veterans Day when meat-eaters don't get a holiday.

February 21, 200619 yr comment_4547924 Well it's not a holiday here in Canada, so to hell with all of you. Then again, I am currently unemployed, so I have nothing to complain about. I guess every day is a holiday for me, since all I do is sit around and look for jobs online, taking the odd break to eat, watch television, or waste time at sites which aren't helping me find work. I still get to sleep in, and I don't have to wear a tie or go anywhere. So it's kind of like a holiday. Except for the fact that I'm flat broke and can't exactly enjoy myself, since if I don't get a job soon, I'm going to go bankrupt. So the moral of the story is... Shut up.
February 21, 200619 yr comment_4548053 I don't get President's Day off but, since I live in the State Of Disaster (formerly Louisiana), I get Mardi Gras off. Good trade, IMHO, because I don't see many parades for Washington or Lincoln, let alone chicks showing their tits for a set of plastic beads.
February 21, 200619 yr comment_4548335 Loss, you know what sucks? Almost everyone in my office was off today except for me and a couple of other people. The worst part of it all is that I couldn't get today off anyway because I desperately need the money. *sigh*
