I saw two cars on the road coming to work. I have feeling we are going to be real busy.

CajunBillsBacker Posted March 25, 2005 Posted March 25, 2005 Not at work now, but I have to work overnight tonight.
HopsGuy Posted March 25, 2005 Posted March 25, 2005 I get the market holidays, I'm off today. This year there was no holiday for New Year's Day, so we only get 8 holidays (MLK, P-day, Good Fri, Mem, 7/4, Labor, T-giving, X-Mas). I've been here for 5+ years, so I get 15 vacation days. I have no idea what I'm going to do with them, but they won't go to waste. Of course, I'm trapped at home because I'm waiting for the charity truck to come and pick up a couch that I'm donating.
aussiew Posted March 25, 2005 Posted March 25, 2005 We get MLK day as a paid holiday, but not Easter... I'm all for MLK Jr, but if we get that, shouldn't we get Easter? (Good Friday - not Easter). Same here. But they say it's because they want to be PC. So they give Federal Holidays, not religious holidays. So I said, but you close on Christmas and the boss said, but that's not a Religious holiday......er....how easy it is to forget when you're surrounded by commercialism. Anyway - I'm the only one in the office so I'm getting paid to read TSW and listen to the 3 Tenors, Phantom, Dusty Springfield, Anne Murray, Grease and the White Album (cranked up LOUD)
gantrules Posted March 25, 2005 Posted March 25, 2005 It's not a federal holiday, right? I'm here at work at your friendly credit union. I think the post office is open too.

AiO Posted March 25, 2005 Posted March 25, 2005 A whop bop aloo bop... I always wondered how that was spelled.
stevestojan Posted March 25, 2005 Posted March 25, 2005 You have to work on Sunday? 287086[/snapback] No, I have weekends off. But certain departments do, and they dont get Sunday off at all. Also, when any other hoilday falls on a weekend, we get the friday before or monday after off.

Sad but still funny. I'm responsible for overseeing HR so I can understand the tendancy to not give religious holidays, even though the policy is inconsistant vis a vis Christmas. Especially if you live/work somewhere were people observe various religions. It's also a legal thing; we can't close today and then not close on the big Jewish holidays, etc. without risking some type of lawsuit. We give people 3 floating holidays/personal days per year in addition to vacation time specifically for this type of day. As for me, I came to work cause I don't want to go do stations of the cross, but I'll feel guilty if I stayed home and did nothing!
taterhill Posted March 25, 2005 Posted March 25, 2005 only a few hours in the office today...lookin like 10am-2pm
