Have you already used up all your use or lose annual?
My office doesn't let us take off whenever we want- so only a certain number of people get that day off. But if the government is closed then we all get off....

My Fed office is closed the day after Thanksgiving, December 24, 2012, and December 31, 2012.
Yippee!

I'm not a fed and I always get MLK off. What sorts of places don't do that--private sector?

Ever hear of google, or the other gazillion seach sites that are out there:
http://www.opm.gov/Operating_Status_Schedules/fedhol/2013.asp
Does Google pick up amendment 20 of the constitution. "The terms of the President and the Vice President shall end at noon on the 20th day of January"
The "public observance of the inauguration" -- the parades, balls, etc. -- will be on the 21st, but the actual inauguration will need to be on the 20th. That's how I read it.
I don't think that is right. The balls and parades for the inauguration will still take place on the 20th but the official observance of the inauguration holiday will be on Monday the 21st. Basically everyone will have one day off in observance of two holidays.

Yes it does. My DH always parties hearty that day. Whew, Nixon's was the most out of control.

Are they having the parties and stuff on the 20th? I thought they were swearing in on the 20th privately and doing the hoopla on the 21st.

How's that for coinicidence and isn't it going to interfere with MLK observance and festivities.
It also means no additional day off for local fed employees as it stands.
So glad Feds only get one holiday - excellent.

Yes, that is probably what OP is complaining about -- no extra day off (on top of MLK day).
