Is tomorrow a holiday in the States?

[yvr girl]

Just curious.

[terrya]

1. Edit my answer

I just remembered it's Good Friday. It's not a national holiday.

Sorry about that.

[billyskank]

3. Good Friday, I expect

:crazy:

[terrya]

7. It just popped in my head that this Sunday is Easter, Billy.

As a former Catholic, I SHOULD know that. :-(

2. the kids have the day off from school

but businesses are not obligated to give paid time off (though I think there's some stipulation for workers who want the day off on religious grounds, but I don't know what it is; I imagine it varies from state to state).

5. It varies from company to company....

Where I work, you have to take either a vacation day or personal day if you want Good Friday off.

[underpants]

4. I have Monday off

They actually call it "Easter Monday"

[meegbear]

6. Some people in Massachusetts have Monday off ...

Patriots Day, which I do not get off.

8. By the way

way to go, posting an attention-seeking thread, and then ignoring everyone who responded to it!

Even to the point of not replying to their PM. :thumbsup:

10. billyskank

yvr girl has always done that.
It seems like everyone loves her even when she doesn't answer them.

[billyskank]

11. I know

Sigh.

[yvr girl]

13. I feel like a terrible person now

Hi Joanie! :hug:

[In_The_Wind]

18. I still love you, darlin'.

I know you don't have me on ignore or anything like that. It just takes a lot out of a girl responding to all that attention.

BTW ~ I'm very sorry your neck hurts. I would rub it for you if I was there. :loveya:

[yvr girl]

12. I fell asleep

On the couch. Does it make you feel better to know that I have a crick in my neck?

[billyskank]

14. Actually

no. I'm not like that.

[yvr girl]

16. You are the bestest!

:*

[billyskank]

17. ...

Hug and a smooch for you.

9. No. Christians don't seem to know this. A guy at work has been going

around all week saying "Happy Holy Week." When he started, I had to ask what he was talking about.

[Left Is Write]

19. "Happy Holy Week"?

"Happy Holy Week"?!

What kind of weirdo IS this guy? Yes, it's Holy Week for those of the Christian persuasion. Many, many people observe Holy Week by attending church, particularly tonight and tomorrow, many do the stations of the cross, and many do prayer vigils tomorrow and Saturday. I'd call these observances rather than celebrations. Easter is the celebration, not Holy Week.

Who says "Happy Holy Week"?

[progmom]

20. I agree

That is bizarre behavior.

[Gormy Cuss]

21. Yes, crucifixion and the Easter vigil are really party-hearty events.

I'm afraid that if someone wished me a happy holy week I'd burst out in laughter.
As I recall there's nothing fun about it until the resurrection.

[seemunkee]

23. Wish him a Happy Passover

And mark your cubicle with some lamb blood

Kids are on spring break this week here. Too many abscences for Passover and Good Friday otherwise.

[Midlodemocrat]

15. I have tomorrow off.

:bounce:

Finally, I can get some spring cleaning done!

[LSK]

22. sorta

I have to work but many others dont.

[bikebloke]

24. Our London office gets a 4-day weekend.

We heathen pagans in the Evil Empire will just have to burn in heck.

[patcox2]

25. Its not a "federal"" holiday, its not a legal holiday.

But some companies allow employees to take off, and some close.

[realisticphish]

26. no

at least not a national holiday. i don't get out of school for it

[RevCheesehead]

27. Not for me.

For some reason, I have to work.
