I'm headed out the door in just a sec to the auction house. I'll be on the computer monitoring the on-line bidding and making sure the auctioneer knows. This auction is both live and on-line so we'll have bidders in both places.

That sucks. Hopefully it won't be too bad today even with the 2 who called off. I have today off (federal contractor) and had Friday off (flex schedule, every other Fri off), so this self-professed workaholic is getting more than a little antsy to get back tomorrow.  Our last couple of long holiday weekends have been fairly quiet upon return, but I haven't been holding my breath for that trend to continue with this one. I have weekly, monthly and quarterly deliverables that will be due starting at noon Tuesday so I'll hit the door running. I was tempted to log in yesterday to get some of it done but Newton's first law of motion held true. |

Yes my office is open today also. I'm not sure why I had to work as most of my customers, the bank and our insurance company are closed today. It's going to be a very slow day here so they will be paying us for the holiday plus the eight hours of thumb twiddling. School is also open here today so that makes it a little easier... but its hard to get going on such a gloomy day. I'm probably going to have to resort to filing or cleaning just to find enough to do, and then our manager will probably tell us we can go home at noon.

Yes I have to work.
But I also had to work yesterday, Christmas Day, the Monday after Christmas (dec 26th), etc, etc, etc. So really it is just another day, in another week, in another year.
I hope everyone who has it off has a good day and is able to enjoy it.

Yea our insurance companies are closed too along with post office etc... I'm already rearranging files to keep busy...I can pray for the going home early bit..but won't hold my breath. |

DH's consulting firm follows the federal holiday schedule so if banks and government offices are closed, so are they. It means he can watch all of the bowl games he wants.

I'm working today - DH is home because his company is observing the holiday today. Both kids go back to school tomorrow.
For whatever strange reason, my company doesn't consider new year's day a holiday.
While I would like to be home, if I don't work, I don't get paid.

Sorry....cranky today (and to the 2 girls who "called in sick"....you'll get yours...lol) Luckily I am off today! You know how dh's company solved people calling in "sick" the day before or after a holiday? They instituted a policy that says if you call in sick the day before or after a paid holidays and you don't have a drs note,you lose your holiday pay. Virtually no one has called in since they did that. |

I'm off, but I worked 24 hours from 7am on 12/31 until 7am on 1/1, while the rest of the world was partying it up. Admittedly, I did not realize that much of the world was off today. Drove into NYC today in record time and found free on street parking. It was an unexpected trip thanks to dd oversleeping and a holiday mass transit schedule and a mom who is a softy when her kid is only home a few weeks each year. While I am waiting for her, I started to check on places I want to go since I am here anyway and the first two were closed. I feel like the holiday was yesterday. Oh well. Happy new year! |

I do. My district makes teachers report today so students can come tomorrow In our district, not only did the teachers have to come in today - students too. My daughter was a very unhappy camper and it didn't help that her brother has 2 more days off school. |

Not working today, but this is my last holiday until Memorial Day. You don't get time off at Easter? Good Friday is a day off for schools & government in Ontario. Also, the people who were unhappy about the fact that school ended on the 23rd, have until next Monday, Jan 9th, to go back to school. I know of a lot of people who planned a vacation for after Christmas as they is a longer time until they go back to school. The kids also have a PD day on Jan 20th. Not a lot of school days in January. |

I'm working. My business is open 24/7/365. I do get Sat/Sun as my days off, but any other day costs me PTO. My husband gets all federal holidays and local AFB down days. He gets lots of time off without using his PTO.

Not working today, but this is my last holiday until Memorial Day. For me too. That's really depressing to think about! Sometimes my boss will give us President's day off but it isn't a paid holiday. |

Yep, I'm working!! Though apparently everyone else is on some sort of holiday/wkend schedule here. I'm like..they would have a FIT if we said we weren't fully staffed. ha. Went down to the cafeteria to eat, and they basically had burgers and fries. boo.

Had to work yesterday and today... that's what I get for having a career in HR/payroll/financial analysis.... Hoping to get a bit of timeoff mid-week though since today was the first payroll processing of the new year.

No our office is 'technically' closed today. Normally I work from home on Mondays. Today is a paid holiday for me. BUT my boss is in the office and he had no idea it was a holiday for us (he's one of those older guys who just work and work and doesn't pay attention to anything else.. lol.. I asked him "Ron, you do know today is a holiday, right?" He says, "Why? It is?" so I have to explain to HIM why... HA) and now I have logged in over an hour of work. BUT that is okay cause even with the holiday I need to have a certain amount of hours per payroll week, so this just helps me from having to work a bunch of hours at the last minute to get my 'quota' in.

My old job was at a tax firm and yeah no holiday between New Year's and April 15th.. So I guess I did get one day in before Memorial Day... It's just a long stretch!! |

Yes. It was creepy driving to work this morning without any other vehicles on the road. It has been a slow day so far. The office is quiet.
We get a day off in lieu for NYD to be taken within the next couple of months. Not sure why they felt the need to be open instead of closed today. Unless you are the mall or a big box store, everything is closed today - govt, offices, etc.

Today is a student holiday in my school district. Teachers have to work. I took the day off because I never take off when the kids are there - its too much trouble.

update - the boss did not offer to let us go home at noon. Everyone is here and "working" its very quiet here. I guess its just as well that we have to stay all day since I had to get up early and drive in - might as well make it a profitable day.
