Anyone else got a FOUR DAY WEEKEND? :D

[Private Skylark 0]

I've got Friday and Monday off of work (Good Friday / Easter Monday) and am completely stoked about a four day weekend

So what is everyone else doing?

On Friday I'm going to Southend with my new camera (Canon EOS 400D / Digital Rebel XTi) to take purdy pictures

On Saturday it's my Dad's 43rd birthday so I'm going out for a family meal which will be really nice

On Sunday/Monday I have nothing planned, but it'll probably be more photo-taking really. Rest and relaxation I think

Sounds a lot better then what I've got going:

Friday: Work from 11am-1am = 14 hours

Saturday: Work: 12pm-3am = 15 hours

Sunday: Morning is required to sleep since I wont get home until at least 4:30-5am, get up around 12 and rest a bit before...

Work: 17:00-24:00 = 7 hours

Monday: I don't know yet. I asked for it off so that Dave and I could spend some time together since he has it off too...but I wont get the schedule until Friday night.

Isn't my job fun!!??!

Technically I have a four day weekend, but I will be spending Friday and Monday doing back taxes for 2004-2006 for Uncle Sam so I can do the I-864...rock'n'roll, people, rock AND roll!!

Sunday: make Easter dinner -- lamb, roast potatoes, sprouts, etc. and a gooseberrry fool.

Probably also do some work from home on Monday as I am a BIT of a workaholic and I can't seem to put my Blackberry away for two seconds, especially since I figured out how to look at VJ on it!!!

Our office has no holidays from MLK day to Memorial Day.

Oh well - I'm going to London a week from Sunday. WHOO!!!!!!

This weekend I am gardening a bit! Gonna do a bit of cleaning too! Fun Fun!

Although I'm not a Brit, I arranged to get a 4-dayer (driving to Saginaw Friday, mostly resting, but also trying to get new India visa monday).

On Friday I'm going to Southend with my new camera (Canon EOS 400D / Digital Rebel XTi) to take purdy pictures

Oooh post a couple of them please. I'm from the Southend area and it would be nice to see some pics! Pretty please?

BAD 4 day weekend!!! That means the Embassy probably has it too.. which stinks. They need to get their butts in gear and get my honeys visa out before they go away for their weekend!

Enjoy your 4 day Easter weekend, because you won't get it once you arrive in the USA!

I work for a council - and we get given an extra day off after every bank holiday, so I've got a five day weekend!

I don't really agree with the policy - council tax bills are so high that it seems wrong for tax payers to pay for extra holiday days for thousands of staff; but I will be making the most of it and heading off to Somerset for a few days!

I wonder if the embassy staff in London have an extra day off too?

[Dr_LHA 3]

I think Embassy staff in the UK get both UK and USA holidays, so they get the best of both worlds. Where I work I don't even get all the federal holidays. Its good to work for the government, you always get more holiday.

My dad is a fed govt employee - he doesn't have Friday off for Good Friday (he's off but that's due to his flex schedule). I don't think its a federal holiday.

Nope you sure wont!

[Trompe le Monde 1,107]

not a federal holiday - we have Friday off, though this is the only place I ever worked in the US where it was a mandatory day off which is odd since it also the place with the highest percentage of Jews (and there is no provision for Yom Kippur and Rosh Hashanah). I have no complaints however!

Sadly no 4 day weekend here for me either! Its a dry spell here at the bank for official holidays - nothing from President's day until Memorial Day. UGH! But at least its only 15 days, 17 hours, 24 minutes and 10 seconds until I arrive in the UK to see my man!!!! Not that I'm counting....
