Working an extra hour per day this week to at least not lose too much money on my paycheck.

im a contractor also, but we are open for business. im taking a half day to hang with my kids, but im salary (industrial programmer ftw! not like the electricians i work with who lose time if they take the day off) so i dont have to worry about time lost.

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.

Want to get piss drunk w/ me? :)


perhaps. would you mind doing my taxes as well?

Not only do I get it off, but since it is on my regularly scheduled Friday off, I also get a day in lieu to use at some other point :thumbsup: The government people around here also get Monday off.

Everyone else in our company used to (We got Mardi Gras off), but now it's a floater.

3 options here for us:

1. Paid holiday on Friday
2. Paid holiday on Monday
3. Work both days and acquire an extra paid vacation/personal day

With the weather cooling down, I'll likely go for option 3 and take a Friday off sometime in the summer when I've had a bad week.
