Who has Monday off for the holiday?

[JackBeck]

I have the day off, since our entire building is closed for the holiday. I also have Tuesday off, but that's because I worked a very rare Saturday. So technically, my three-day weekend just began. Unforch, the husband must go to work tomorrow. So, who else has Monday off?

[SeattleGirl]

1. First company I've worked at where this was a paid day off for me.

:woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo:

[JackBeck]

3. Me too.

If I was still bartending, I'd have to go, otherwise, I wouldn't get paid.

[SeattleGirl]

14. Cool!

:woohoo:

[idgiehkt]

2. uh

what holiday? St. Patricks? Mardi Gras?

[Nicole]

4. Presidents' Day

:hi:

St. Patrick's Day is March 17th.

[idgiehkt]

8. thanks

sigh...I bet I could have waited to clean one of my buildings until tomorrow. Drat.

:hi:

[Nicole]

10. You're welcome.

Well since you did it today, can you take off tomorrow?

[idgiehkt]

12. I'm always off on mondays

which is good since I'm usually too sore to move. :)

[gemdem]

19. What are you doing that you get so sore on the weekends?

Wasn't it a few week's back that someone was teasing you about a sore arm and how that came to be? You must be one hell of a weekend warrior. :-)

[idgiehkt]

27. lol

that was last week. Just cleaning this stupid grading business on Sunday nights. I have a bad right shoulder and this irritates it. I do 3 buildings on Sunday.

[JackBeck]

28. It's a holiday I never thought I'd have off.

But since you know already I'll just say...."Hi!"

[idgiehkt]

51. Hi back

Jack Beck :hi:

[deadparrot]

5. Not me.

And I go to a school named after a fucking president. Granted, not Washington or Lincoln, but still. :grr:

[JackBeck]

20. Sorry.

In the past, I never had ANY holidays off from work. One of the few things that I now enjoy about being a M-F, 9-5er.

[bridgit]

6. Me!

we're off till tuesday too :woohoo:

[JackBeck]

23. Nice feeling, right?

We had no choice, since the entire 18-floor building is closed. We are one of the last buildings in NYC to have elevator operators, so I think it has a lot to do wih that as well. Go Unions!

[gemdem]

7. I've scheduled a vacation day

to spend time with my kids. So, I've given myself a day off. :-)

[JackBeck]

26. Good for you.

And I'm sure they will love you being around.

[Nicole]

9. I have every day off from work.

Yes, I love it. :)

[gemdem]

11. How'd you get so lucky?

Did you win the lottery? :-)

[Nicole]

15. Kind of lucky.

Unlucky part: Combination of insurance settlement, law suit & inheritance.

Lucky part: It was wisely invested so I was able to retire at 30.

[gemdem]

17. I see.

Well, overall, good for you! Enjoy!

[Nicole]

21. Thanks!

Don't want to be a downer so I won't go into details. I'll just say I would rather be working if it meant I still had my parents & siblings.

[gemdem]

22. Let me replace my "I see"

with this.

:hug: :hug: :hug:

Seems more appropriate.

[Nicole]

24. Thanks again.

:hug:

[SPKrazy]

25. ...

:hug:

[SPKrazy]

13. Nicole

I'll get up when I damned well feel like it!

:hug:

[Nicole]

16. That's me!

To a Tee! :rofl:

:hug:

[SPKrazy]

18. ...

;)


good night

:hug:

[intheflow]

29. No option for those of us who don't have the day off?

In my case, it's doubly frustrating since Monday is President's Day and Tuesday is Mardi Gras, and I have to work both days. :(

[JackBeck]

34. The "You" option.

As in not you, but me, since I posted that I have the day off.

[intheflow]

39. OK.

This would be the argument for why I should not hang in the Lounge during my bouts with insomnia. :crazy: It's evident now that I've had some sleep...and you replied spelling it out for me using small words. :)

[terrya]

30. Nope. Here I am at work.

The banks are closed, no mail service, all government offices are closed, the schools are closed...and here I am at work. Sigh. :-(

[JackBeck]

36. Sorry, buddy.

I used to bartend Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays, so I never got to enjoy the Monday holidays. And working Thanksgiving always sucked.

[terrya]

54. Thanks, my friend.

I hope you had a good day today.

My day at work sucked a big one.

[NewWaveChick1981]

31. Not me.

:( I have a lot of stuff to tackle today, and the school is open as usual.

[Aristus]

35. Shoot, I'm sorry, NWC. I got the day off.

Post when you can, okay? :hug:

[chknltl]

32. Presidents day...does this mean the chimp will leave us alone...

...for a day? Oh God say it's true...maybe he'll go for a bike ride and forget to take his helmet.

[Crabby Appleton]

33. not me - gotta get ready to go to work now. nt

[michreject]

37. I have everyday off

I retired Sept 1st @ 53 years old.

[bigwillq]

38. Not me

:(

[Left Is Write]

40. Nope. The kids are off school, but Mr. LIW and I both have to work.

The kids will come to work with me.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

41. at work. as is lisa.

[JackBeck]

43. I wonder if my office would be open if the building wasn't closed.

We have a new ED who added two floating holidays to our benefits, so I probably would have taken today anyway.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

44. sorry your hubby has to work tomorrow.

still a three day weekend is nice.

sigh!

[JackBeck]

46. I wish he had today off, too.

I worked on Saturday and feel like we didn't have a weekend. Plus, he's been grumpy over job-related things and my attempts to cheer him up failed horribly.

[Courtesy Flush]

42. We get tomorrow off

I'm in South Louisiana. Mardi Gras is a bigger holiday than Presidents' Day.

[JackBeck]

47. Do you have any plans for tonight or tomorrow?

As far as celebrating?

[Courtesy Flush]

48. Not s far as I know

We might go to a parade tomorrow, but I doubt it. I don't get a lot of days off work.

[GenDem]

45. Off today and tomorrow at my school job.....

but, I'm painting a mural in a library and I will go work on that.

I've had two snow days the past couple weeks, too. A lot of time off.

[Bzzzz]

49. The bank where I work...

is closed, but they made all employees come in for a training day! :grr:

[JackBeck]

50. You're kidding.

Sorry.

:pals:

[Bzzzz]

52. Nope...

twice a year, on Columbus Day and President's Day the bank is closed, but they make it mandantory that employees come in for the day for "training". It's bullshit...we sit and have to listen about how they lost money, how we need to make referrals and today was sooooo special. The local fire department came in and taught us how to stop...drop...and roll. I felt like I was still in grade school.:crazy:

[Skittles]

56. were the firemen good-looking?

ooh I loves me a fireman

[Bzzzz]

58. nah...

pretty plain looking guys, IMO. But, I will say that they were alot better than the last training session in October as far as their presentation went(we only had to watch 2 videos and learn the stop, drop, and roll). During that one, the city cops stormed in (it was suppose to be a surprise)and pretended that they were robbing the bank. Most of us were laughing, because they were waving their guns in the air and telling everyone to get on the floor and lay down. I and others had seen them outside putting on their costumes and most of us know the city cops. It was really hokey...but, one of my friends was visably shaken. She had been thru a robbery in a bank in Georgia and this little stunt really shook her up.

[CatholicEdHead]

53. Nope, worked today

And all week long.

[MassLiberal]

55. I had today AND last Friday off

hate to go back tomorrow :(

[Art_from_Ark]

57. Holiday?

What's a holiday?
