[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This isn't really that strange.  It happens everytime the holiday falls on a Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday.[/quote]

Yes but if it falls on Tuesday many people take or companies give Monday off (non-Feds), same goes with Thur-Fri.  So the holiday weekend is still apparent.  I have family flying in the weekend before, but obviously it could go either way.[/quote]

Even the Feds have done that in past 4th of Julys.  It is the President's call.  I've been with the Feds for 17 years and it has happened maybe once.[/quote]

OK, I've been with the Feds for 15 years and never once has this happened with the 4th. When Christmas falls on a Tuesday, the President typically grants a Federal holiday on Monday and when Christmas falls on a Thursday, the President typically grants Friday, but not once in 15 years have I seen this done with any other holiday. It could very well have been a decision made by your agency and not the President (ergo not every Fed would have benefitted from it), as I have seen that happen with agencies other than mine (e.g., giving off the day after Thanksgiving).[/quote]
