Finally Friday on Thursday - Holiday
I love the short work weeks for I am
actually off an extra day but on the
flip side, that work week seems so
long at times!
Today is Thursday and as a state employee
I have tomorrow off to celebrate July 4th.
The way it works here in TN. is that if
the holiday falls on a Saturday you get
Friday before off, if it falls on Sunday,
you get the next Monday off. Nice and
easy way of keeping up with it.
The state gives us 11 holidays thru the
year. At Christmas time we actually
get a couple more days added to that.
We get New Years Day, Martin Luther
King Day, President’s Day (for Lincoln
and Washington, we use to get a day
each for this), Good Friday, Memorial
Day, Independence Day, Labor Day,
Veteran’s Day, Thanksgiving (we do
consider Columbus Day in Oct. as a
holiday, but we usually vote it out and
vote in the day after Thanksgiving),
and of course, Christmas. On Christmas
we usually get 3 days, and that depends
on where and when Christmas falls in
the week. Sometimes we will get Christmas
Eve, Day and the day after. I have known
us to have Christmas Day (maybe on a
Monday) then we will get the two days
after, or the Friday before and one day
after. It can get confusing writing it all
out but believe me….as an employee, we
keep up with it and we KNOW when we
are to be off.
Anyway, tomorrow is our 4th Holiday,
which is Friday. So that makes today
our Friday work day. Tomorrow…..
what can I get into with a whole extra
day to play with????
Have a great 4th everyone.
Thanks for stopping in….
