Who all is getting this Friday off?

Exactly. If I had to work 70-plus hours (like during football season) in a job I hated, I would not be very happy. My best wishes that you can find something you truly like to do, as opposed to what you have to do.

 

State employees get to go to the lake...I mean, stay home and mourn.

 

Thanks, but I don't really hate my job. I'm just in a bad mood because I got a promotion last month which is great, but I have to wait for them to train someone to replace me before I can go to my new department. It could take a couple of months.

But at least there is a light at the end of the tunnel now. That and this bbs is the only thing that gets me through the day.

 

Yep school is closed and I dont have work either since I work on campus.

RIP

 

NOTHING shuts down the petro-chemical industry...well, except when we blow ourselves up....

 

I have a cousin who is an air traffic controller. He was fired by Reagan back in 1981, and he swore vengence and hatred upon Reagan until the day he Reagan died. Naturally, I had to call him this week to see if he was celebrating. He was.

He was re-hired in 1998 when Clinton allowed the re-hiring to take place. The running joke at his workplace is that all the scabs get Friday off, and the re-hires have to work Friday.

 

I work at the University of Dayton bookstore, i am scheduled to work friday, i havent heard anything about being off though.

 

California Public Schools are open on Friday. At least those in LAUSD.

 

I am taking the day off to prepare to try out for the Power Dancers. Wish me luck!

 

i've got a hearing friday morning in a court i'm certain won't be closed.

 

Sounds a lot like my neighborhood during the 80s (1980-1988).

 

Gilligan?? is that you???

 

Where are you live?

 

It being fire season, I'm essential and will be at my post on Friday, though I might come in a couple of hours late.

 

I got out of two.

 

Drummer,

I live in SW Houston. Why do you ask?

 

he's joking...offer no more information about yourself. move along. nothing to see here!

 

I work for the federal government and we actually get every other friday off already due to a special work schedule. In light of that they decided to give us Thursday off so today is Friday for me

 

Glad to see our tax dollars hard at work!

 

Yeah sometimes I feel guilty(Ok not really), but then I remember how I'm sure I have to fill out paperwork to take a trip to the restroom or it would be unauthorized and misuse of tax dollars.
