Resident Curmudgeon  25290    The Road Back Gold member |  Subject: Is Everyone Working Today?Our area has such a large Catholic population that Good Friday is like a national holiday here. I'm at work because the bank is open half the day because the Federal Reserve is open, but it was like a ghost town driving in this morning. Is it like this around the country? Oh, and Happy Easter everyone! Edited by the bear 2005-03-25 10:15 AM |

Champion 5183 Wisconsin | Subject: RE: Is Everyone Working Today? ya, another one here who isn't techinically doing any work, although I am sitting physically in my office... I am on a University Campus, and it's spring break so there is no one around, but we don't get the day off. All I can think about is my swim session later today.... |

Pro 3870 Virginia Beach, VA | Subject: RE: Is Everyone Working Today? This is one of the rare times when being a Federal employee doesn't give me an advantage. I'll probably blow off the afternoon since I'm one of the only peple in the office today. Who had the bright idea to put Easter on a Sunday anyway? I vote to move it to Friday next year  |

Not a Coach 11473 Media, PA | Subject: RE: Is Everyone Working Today? Working for part of the day but I don't really know why. Train was nearly empty and so is the office. Got to the pool this morning as usual and instead of rushing to grab a lane, I was the only one there (besides the lifeguard) for the first 15min. It was really weird. Oh, Happy Easter from me too!

Expert 853 Evergreen, Colorado Gold member | Subject: RE: Is Everyone Working Today? Yup, I'm stuck here today. My company is pretty stingy about holidays. I'm going to try and leave early though - I'm just not feeling too motivated today!! We used to have a schedule with every other Friday off (9 hour days), but they took that away, so everyone just sits around and acts cranky every Friday now. Especially today since half the country gets the day off... |

Master 1483 Southwest Chicago 'burbs Silver member | Subject: RE: Is Everyone Working Today? Work day here for me as well... while I love the company I work for, the holiday policy (6 holidays a year) , vacation time policy (the max EVER is only 3 weeks) and personal day policy (which includes sick days and you only get 5 a year) really sucks. But - if that's the worst thing about this place... then I think I have it pretty good. |

Expert 770 acton, Ma | Subject: RE: Is Everyone Working Today? present and accounted for. Town employee, so I get the usual (columbus day, veterans day, thanksgiving and the day after, etc...) Here in Massachusetts, we also get Patriots Day, which is the third monday in April. It's the day when "the shot heard 'round the world" was fired at the battle of Lexington and Concord. Parades, cool reinactments, including the capture of Paul Revere. Oh yeah, it's also the day of the Boston Marathon. |

| Regular 98 New York, NY | Subject: RE: Is Everyone Working Today? I'm in, but my office mate is out, my boss is out, and the other guy I work with in our department is out. Its a "floating holiday" today, so the office isn't closed, but a lot of folks take it off. Of course, since we only get two floating holidays, I have to use them in the fall for the Jewish holidays. So I'm here and its lonely and I'm trying to find someone to take a nice leisurely lunch with me, and then I'll probably leave a bit early. I've gotten one business-related phone call today. If I get another one I'll be very surprised. |
