Do *YOU* have tomorrow off from work? (veteran's day)

[ncrainbowgrrl]

I ask this only b/c my partner and I are both state workers. He has tomorrow off. I don't.

I could sure use a day off work. Oh well. I'll just stop complaining bitterly and pretend that i enjoy working while my significant other is still asleep curled up with our kitty cats. :eyes:

1. Technically, yes.....

But in reality, hell no. I'll be there all day and then some.

[yvr girl]

2. Remembrance Day falls on a Saturday

So, we'll get Monday off instead.

8. That plus the fact that I only have one class today makes me very happy.

3. My son is out of school tomorrow...

though i have to work (ah, the peril of the service industry) tomorrow evening.

I think i'll take him up to where his grandfather (my domestic partner's dad) is buried, so we can take some flowers and such. He was an Army vet, and i think it's important to instill in our son a sense of gratitude for those who put themselves in harm's way in defense of our country.

We'd be doing the same for my dad if we lived closer.

[kick-ass-bob]

11. Nope. I'm here today.

I don't work for the state anymore, so no more lazy days for me.

Oh, wait!! I work at a University now - nevermind :rofl:

12. For me, it's a "floating holiday."

Instead of taking it now, I'm using the time at Thanksgiving. With a couple of vacation days and the holiday that week along with the time from the "floating holiday", I've managed to secure the whole week off. :bounce: :woohoo:

[bigwillq]

13. NO!

But I only have to go to a game that starts at 7 p.m. I won't leave my house until 6 it's like I'm only working half a day.

[AllegroRondo]

14. Strange, when I was in the Army I never got Veteran's day off.

or Memorial day

or the 4th of July

at least for Christmas the entire post would close down for 2 weeks.

[av8rdave]

15. I'm off today, but start 3 days of work on Saturday

[Orsino]

16. Nope. This vet works Saturdays. n/t

[Mutley]

17. Yes, but not because of Veteran's Day.

I work in retail, and we don't close for holidays like that. I just happened to be given the day off.

[anarch]

18. well, I'm at work

but about half the office has decided to take the day off, it seems. I don't think I'm going to make it for the whole day.
