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.

I'm sure there are holidays in Mongolia, Thailand and many other
countries too. The subject was "official holidays" in America. Or, are
you so brain dead you forgot the topic?

If their is a "Confederacy of Dunces," you are the General!

M-O-O-N, laws yes! That spells antenna! Tom Cullins said so!

"Confederacy of Dunces" is one of the most hilarious books
I've read in my life. I cannot read it, because I STILL laugh
to the point of tears, every time I do so.

'Scuse me, I've got to go jump up and down awhile. It's my
pyloric valve, and all of that.

It was a damn funny book, a classic for certain.

Actually what I had meant to say to CooKoolin, was that in a
"Confederancy of Dunces" he would surely be General Robert E. Lee.

One year when I was working in CATV I worked double shifts on
Christmas day and New years day. I was paid double time for the first
eight hours and double and a half for the second eight hours so I made
almost a weeks pay in a single day. Unfortunately, I was working
doubles seven days a week for seven months. It damn near killed me.
