Everyon ein the Federal Govt has the day off....

[Mad Dr Jeffe]

Everyone but me that is....

Oddly, Im not upset. Im jazzed about it. Its going to be quiet and peaceful here untill 1345 and then I can go lift at my other job for a few hours....

Yayyyyy!!!!

yeah, the commute was easy. I'm hoping that some of our cust. took the day off too.

I don't have the day off, but we do get time-and-a-half for working today.  

Since I was planning on working today *before* Reagan died, I figure it's all gain. Ronny's gift to me personally.

Ronnies gift to me was being popular enough to get plenty of volunteers to march otherwise I would have been dying in a blue wool uniform.

Presumably, it will benefit me in no way whatsoever, other than the fact that I won't be getting any bills in the mail.  The construction business gets all giddy when there's a day off, and business actually picks up (Memorial Day and Labor Day are some of the busiest times).

Fuzzy, are you a federal employee?  I'm one, didn't get the day off, but got paid twice as much as normal for being there.

This is actually the typical way paid holidays are handled in agencies like mine (TSA) where you really can't have everyone off on the same day.

No, no federal employee here.  I just work in a call center for Overstock.com and the center is open 24 hours a day every day except Christmas.  When we have to work on federal holidays they pay us time and a half.
