Poll question: Who has Monday off for the holiday? |
|
I have the day off, since our entire building is closed for the holiday. I also have Tuesday off, but that's because I worked a very rare Saturday. So technically, my three-day weekend just began. Unforch, the husband must go to work tomorrow. So, who else has Monday off?

If I was still bartending, I'd have to go, otherwise, I wouldn't get paid.

19. What are you doing that you get so sore on the weekends? |
|
Wasn't it a few week's back that someone was teasing you about a sore arm and how that came to be? You must be one hell of a weekend warrior. :-)

that was last week. Just cleaning this stupid grading business on Sunday nights. I have a bad right shoulder and this irritates it. I do 3 buildings on Sunday.

In the past, I never had ANY holidays off from work. One of the few things that I now enjoy about being a M-F, 9-5er.

We had no choice, since the entire 18-floor building is closed. We are one of the last buildings in NYC to have elevator operators, so I think it has a lot to do wih that as well. Go Unions!

Unlucky part: Combination of insurance settlement, law suit & inheritance.
Lucky part: It was wisely invested so I was able to retire at 30.

Don't want to be a downer so I won't go into details. I'll just say I would rather be working if it meant I still had my parents & siblings.

29. No option for those of us who don't have the day off? |
|
In my case, it's doubly frustrating since Monday is President's Day and Tuesday is Mardi Gras, and I have to work both days. :(

This would be the argument for why I should not hang in the Lounge during my bouts with insomnia. :crazy: It's evident now that I've had some sleep...and you replied spelling it out for me using small words. :)

I used to bartend Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays, so I never got to enjoy the Monday holidays. And working Thanksgiving always sucked.

43. I wonder if my office would be open if the building wasn't closed. |
|
We have a new ED who added two floating holidays to our benefits, so I probably would have taken today anyway.

I worked on Saturday and feel like we didn't have a weekend. Plus, he's been grumpy over job-related things and my attempts to cheer him up failed horribly.

twice a year, on Columbus Day and President's Day the bank is closed, but they make it mandantory that employees come in for the day for "training". It's bullshit...we sit and have to listen about how they lost money, how we need to make referrals and today was sooooo special. The local fire department came in and taught us how to stop...drop...and roll. I felt like I was still in grade school.:crazy:

pretty plain looking guys, IMO. But, I will say that they were alot better than the last training session in October as far as their presentation went(we only had to watch 2 videos and learn the stop, drop, and roll). During that one, the city cops stormed in (it was suppose to be a surprise)and pretended that they were robbing the bank. Most of us were laughing, because they were waving their guns in the air and telling everyone to get on the floor and lay down. I and others had seen them outside putting on their costumes and most of us know the city cops. It was really hokey...but, one of my friends was visably shaken. She had been thru a robbery in a bank in Georgia and this little stunt really shook her up.
