Stat holiday here, so I get it off. But I normally don't go in to work on Fridays. But I'm going in this Friday so I can make 2x pay.


Odd, I work on the days that normally people get off. Such is the life of a student though.

there are no Liberals who are Christian? I'm confused...

anyhoo, yes. Boss gave us the option, so I told her that In honor of Christ giving up his fleshy existence for our sins on earth that we may be redeemed in heaven at the feet of his father our lord, I must take Friday off so that I may get piss drunk.

LMAO, I get the day off, but not because of Good Friday. It's the day my state observes Confederate Memorial Day.

Sounds like a good day to go check out Grindhouse.

You might want to recheck that, because I'm fairly certain that CMD is May 10th in South Carolina.

Yep, but Friday is the day we get off for it, as far at the department of education is concerned.

They love to pile holidays together to extend major holiday breaks. We celebrated Martin Luther King Day before Christmas.
