My work is closing at noon today before the holiday tomorrow. I'm trying to get into the swing of things today but I don't really have much to do until Wednesday.
Who else is off or partially off today?

My company is open today, but with minimal staff. I will be letting my team go at 2pm local time (we are across several time zones).

We are “open” but I doubt much work will get done and lot of people will leave early. I picked today to work from home, and I will probably put in about half a day.

The company I work for is off all week. The smaller company I’m running (owned by the company I work for) is closed today and tomorrow (with pay). They used to have to have to use vacation days if they wanted to get paid for a holiday and they only got a max of two weeks of vacation, no matter how many years they were there.

Unfortunately my company is involved in agriculture and produce harvesting - we are working thru the Holiday. I expect we may go home early on the 4th if everything is handled. We have truck in the fields and in the plants so its all hands on deck, even those of us who really don't need to be here. I really do envy people who get a long weekend!

I'm in the office today but if the past is any indicator, they should let us go early today too. I've just got a little easy something to do today. Most people I work with took a vacation day today.

My boss just sent an e-mail that said "if you're in a good place, you can head out". HOWEVER, it's month end close and we have too much to do today to leave early. I appreciate the opportunity, it just isn't going to work.

Off today and tomorrow. My son is also off today, but he decided to work today and take off Wednesday instead - luckily his internship is flexible.

The worst was year-end. Everything had to be in the system by 11:59PM. We never went home early on the last workday of the month/year even though everyone else did. Yeah, it sucked when everyone else was leaving but we couldn't. However, we knew that ahead of time. |

We just came off a huge summer conference, filled with long days and lots of extra work. We've been off since Tuesday of last week and we'll be back on Wednesday. Just a nice bonus!
During this week off last year, I had Covid (thanks, conference!) This year, DH has Covid (thanks, conference!) Maybe we'll be lucky next year and be Covid free!

It's happened before, it'll happen again. I'm used to it at this point. |

So something like that would never happen to us. |

Its the first of the month and I need to get the work uploaded and out to my co-workers. Sooner we get it out, sooner we can get working on it. There are too many issues that arise that we wont / dont drag our feet on it and will be out today no matter how long it takes.

I am going to be listing on eBay/pricing stuff for booths today and tomorrow.
If we sell something on eBay, won't have to have it ready to ship until Wednesday, which is good

I've been off of work since last Friday (those who read the dinner threads know of my travel woes last week). They gave us Friday and today off, and my boss' boss just extended it so we also have Wednesday off, which is SO. NICE.
DH got home early today... Didn't expect him to be at the door as I came back from getting laundry this afternoon. 😁
