[avi]

yeah, seriously. fuck that nonsense.

I have to cover for a coworker and do 2x the work because she got stuck in atlanta yesterday.

 

[mindspell]

I have the day off but I am still at work because I have to work on this project...

[Ominous Luminous]

My first class ended 20 minutes early today, and I'm skipping my second class. I still have to work later though.

 

[FrostGiant]

Why do people have the day off?

 

[Astral Poetry]

My school has an inservice today, so I plan on playing video games for a good 7 hours.

Columbus Day yo

 

[FrostGiant]

Wait, people get the day off for Columbus Day? I've always worked on Columbus Day.

 

[avi]

most people don't get it off, but it is still a govn't holiday

 

[NAD]

Bank holidays suck because I don't work at a bank or a bank-like institution.

 

[FrostGiant]

So then there's no mail today. Lazy mailmans.

 

[mindspell]

We have thanksgiving. But I know very little people that actually celebrate it..

 

[xfer]

what exactly is a bank holiday and why doesn't the US have them?

 

[Autumn Falls]

All my friends and brother get off in VA for Columbus day. In TX we don't get a fall break, or the whole week off for Thanksgiving.

Bank Holiday linky

I've always referred to days off that I don't get as bank holidays, but if it's a British thing maybe I'm using the term incorrectly?

Columbus Day is the most bogus of the govt. holidays. except maybe President's day, which when you think about it is like a bargain generic day for a couple of presidents just because they happened to be born on days close together.
