Like your day off?

ProDigit · 02-16-2009, 12:43 PM

I forgot what day it was today, but it seems a holiday.

desertgrandma · 02-16-2009, 12:55 PM

Altho I don't get paid for volunteering, it does feel like I have a day off!

pshrynk · 02-16-2009, 01:05 PM

No day off for me. Although it would have been nice...

DixieGal · 02-16-2009, 01:06 PM

I had to vote for the blue one, next to the fish. The univ where I work doesn't recognize this as a holiday. We don't get anything but the major ones, not even Xmas eve and New Year's eve. Bah!

wait, is today a holiday, and nobody told me ??? what am i doing working ???

MickeyC · 02-16-2009, 01:10 PM

Not a holiday for me either. Still, nice to have a lot less traffic on the roads

LazyScot · 02-16-2009, 01:12 PM

I don't like my days to be "off"; though sadly far too many are off and very smelly.

Holidays, on the other hand, those are definitely not off....

zelda_pinwheel · 02-16-2009, 01:17 PM

so who is getting a holiday ? and why ?

Its "Presidents Day" here.

We used to have Washingtons birthday, Jeffersons birthday....and actually have those days off.

Then someone decided to combine them, and regardless of when their birthdays were, just put them on a Monday so we could have a three day holiday.

Today is Presidents Day in the U.S. A federal holiday. Being in the government sector I get it off.

ha, thanks. wow, that's a nice holiday. we don't get any holidays off for the presidents (although sarko seems to think very highly of himself, perhaps he'll make his birthday into a holiday. but it would only be for upper management or people earning the most money

).

The next time you help found a country and lead it, I"ll be the first in line to recognize you!

Yay!
Thats one person less to recognize me!
6.885.053.614 people to go (according to Worldpop).
6,760,956,174 to go according to Popclock
I'm going for worlddomination, so my birthday will be celebrated in every country.

That'd probably be the only thing I'll do as king of the world...
