How many out there are like me and working on Good Friday?

I told my boss that the owner of our company must hate Jesus to make us work on Good Friday. She didn't think that was nearly as funny as my coworkers and I did.

    Ha! I'm not christian so it doesn't matter to me. But there are a lot of people out of my office today.

    We work most holidays. We get July 4th off but not Good Friday :noway: :frown:

    We only get 6 holidays......Memorial day, July 4th, Labor Day, Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Years Day.......but I guess that's what happens when you work in the transportation industry.:ohwell: :wink: I manage a fleet of drivers and my drivers are out there working so I guess they expect me to be here too. Even on Christmas Day some of them are still out there. One of the downsides to the industry, I guess. And we rotate the 6 holidays. We all have to work one every year. This year, I work Memorial day :grumble: Oh well....just happy to have a job at this point :flowerforyou: :bigsmile: :drinker:

    Those are the same 5 we get off. I don't know why we're here today. Our home office and the market is closed, so it is a catch up day for me.

    I am working too! This is the first year we haven't gotten Good Friday off. They turned it into a Floating Holiday we can take whenever we want. It sure was hard getting out of bed this morning when my husband didn't have to work though.

    Last time I had Good Friday off was in college. We were scheduled to get off of work at 2pm today, but my boss is in a great mood after a trip to Miami and said I could skip out today. She's great!

    :grumble: Stay at home moms get zero days off.

    Haha seriously, I feel for those who have to go into a 9-5 grind. I do love staying home with my kids, but it's SO nonstop... sometimes I'm begging those last couple of hours before bedtime to get on with it already!
