We shut down (paid holiday) between Christmas Eve and New Years every year, and we're at work today... but I'd say >60% of us are missing (taking an additional vacation day).

Normally, when a holiday falls on a Saturday, many companies will give you the Friday before off and when a holiday falls on a Sunday, they give you the Monday off. It has been like that at every company I've ever worked at. It is because most companies have set holiday schedules and you get x number of them off per year, but if a holiday falls on a weekend (which you normally would have off anyway), they give you the closest weekday off to keep the number of holiday vacation days given off constant.

Strange

I'll be leaving for work in about an hour. Doesn't bother me. It will be dead plus I'll earn 16 hours of comp time for showing up and browsing YouTube, AT, etc all day. Not really a down side.

Man, I *hate* days like that. I like it when it's busy so the day goes by faster. Last week was slow like that at my office and it felt like a month.

That must be something specific to the US. We normally get half the Thursday off before the holiday, if the holiday falls on a Friday. If the holiday falls on a weekend, it's business as usual the week before and after. This means the number working of hours of a given month can vary quite a bit from year to year. For example, December 2011, I would have worked 168 hours if I didn't use any of my paid vacation days, December 2012 will be 136 hours.

So this week I work Monday to Thursday noon, since Friday is a holiday.

I'm at work right now. I'm not being very productive though. I've got to present a project plan to my boss tomorrow, we're virtualizing most of our datacenter and I'm managing the whole shebang. I imagine I'll waste time here on the forums for the next couple hours while getting a little bit of work done, then work from home this evening and actually get things finished.
 
I'm off today and tomorrow (was same way as Christmas)... Gotta love service work...:biggrin:

First company I have worked for that does this...?
 
Unemployed.
Mom was off Monday, am glad she was able to have some time for herself. Of course all her girlfriends called up and wanted to talk her ear off. Eventually I set the phones to silent. She works 12 hours a day and has 1 hour on the train. She needs the weekends to either get errands done, or just relax.
 
only cause it's my normal day off

such bullshit that all these lazy assholes get an extra day off

Are you internal or public? Pretty much all staff at my firm had to work today.

I'm in public and our office was closed. Needless to say I just got home from work (but for other reasons).

I have an outdoor inventory tomorrow. High of 28F. Winds from 20-30mph. I love my job.
 
Worked yesterday to prepare for a reporter's visit. Today I'm taking my holiday. Might stop in today though to pick up my huge paycheck.
