MLK Day. :)

[Train]

we are all here today in my office, busting our butts as usual, no one even noticed its MLK day.

I agree though, it should be on his birthday

Btw, It was Governor John Ashcroft that signed the bill making Dr. Martin Luther King's birthday a holiday in Missouri.

Just an observation:

MLK & Jesus are the only two people who we celebrate holidays for here in the US.

Washington & Lincoln got lumped under Presidents day and who knows how long its going to be before the ACLU gets Christmas kicked off the list.

Happy MLK day everyone.

Russ, some would argue that the country is better off that the government is taking the day off... particularly the Congress and regulatory agencies. One less day that they can come up with some 'great new idea' to make all our lives better, and in so doing, make for yet more money spent on compliance costs or filling out paperwork. In fact, i would go so far as to say that we'd be much better off if quite a few government departments and agencies were given permanent vacations....

Day off? I've been at the office since 7:30AM with another 2 hours to go.

Don't forget about Columbus day, now!

As far as monday holidays go...we're an overworked country as it is, so any holiday that we actually celebrate is fine with me. It's sad that some people actually forget why the holiday is there, but changing it to be on MLK, Jr's real bday as opposed to the third monday isn't going to make any more people remember the cause than currently do.
