Once again, the king of morons misspeaks.
There are 10 "Official" Federal Holidays:
1. New Years Day
2. Martin Luther King Day
3. Presidents day
4. Memorial Day
5. Independence Day
6. Labor Day
7. Columbus Day
8. Veterans Day
9. Thanksgiving
10. Christmas
Seems pretty "official" to me.
Quick, how many of these do you actually get off at work??
In previous jobs, I got 2 (retail job), 6 (plus a floating holiday
to compensate for both MLK and Presidents Day), and I
now get 8 off. I've discovered that with the exception of
retail jobs, the larger the company, the more your off days
correspond with the official holidays.

The only time I get a holiday off is if it falls on my days off. And, I
work for the Federal Government. I work from 4 pm to midnight,
typically end up with 12 hrs. overtime every two weeks, work sundays
too.
