11. I'm a teacher
we're not off. Why do schools never get Columbus Day off? That sucks. We should get all the federal holidays off.

Election Day should also be a holiday. Think of the voter turnout if we start treating Election Day as if it is as important as Thanksgiving or President's Day.

Other countries do it.

18. A better way to state it....
It means nothing to our employers. Think Ebeneezer Scrooge X 365.

19. Thank you
some even though you'll slog through rain, wind, night, snow and whatever else they say, a little old paid holiday is gonna stop the delivery of the mail?

Yay! I only check my box every now and again anyway :)

Three day weekend. Don't care too much why, I'll take it. :-)

Edit: to say that I grew up in the Midwest and never really heard of Columbus Day until I came to the East coast. Is it mostly a East Coast thing?

21. Nope.
State of Texas employees gave up Columbus Day in exchange for having the day after Thanksgiving off every year. A good trade, IMO.

26. Nope...I work for an HMO and will be slaving away
for da man tomorrow. I have never had a job where I got Columbus Day or Veterans Day off.

My next work holiday isn't until Thanksgiving.

Of course I took half a day on 11/2 off to make sure I get my KERRY vote in!
