I work on a military base and all the military folks have a down day so only the civilians are left. We were"eccouraged" to take leave but I'm not burning a vacation day when its 50, windy and raining. Out of 60 civilians, there are only 6 of us here. So I'm going to sit here all day and surf MFP.

Why are you at work today before this Holiday in the US?

    I'm in the military, and stuck at work... not to mention OUR civilians didn't do their job, so today is going to be a late day, since they don't have to pay us overtime. Hoorah!

    I work at a funeral home and dead people can be so inconsiderate what with dying any old time they please. Someone has to be here in case we get a call....and since I don't get vacay pay, it's a no brainer. I got Monday off though!

    I'm just here to surf MFP, lol. I'm right there with you. Why skip the days when there's nothing going on? Wait and take vacation on a day that's gonna suck, lol.

    I not only am working today, but also on Monday. The only holidays we get are New Years Day, 4th of July (but we have the option to work that day and have an extra vacation day to use later), Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day, and Christmas Day. It's cool when New Years and Christmas are on weekends because we get an extra day during the week, but otherwise that's it.

    I work in the beer business--holidays are our busiest days!

    I'm here for a 1/2 day. Didn't want to take an entire day since I've only been here for 6 months (and already had a week of vacation in February).
