I'm working but I'm a freelance consultant. I have a meeting on Monday and it's either work today or work all weekend so I'm working today.

I am working and from the office tomorrow. I was off the last two weeks and have a lot to catch up on, so I will appreciate the quiet tomorrow.

Get a fed job. They accrue lots of leave.


Doesnt mean they get to use it!!!


Interesting. Every fed I know takes days whenever they want. Or they work from home on those days.

I will work. I am an administrative level employee at a private school. I fully anticipate none of the leadership level 12 month employees will come in. We have trouble keeping admin level staff. Discrepancies like these help reveal why.

I am. But everyone else on my team is taking off, so it should be a relatively chill and easy day.

After 15 years



I’m at 16 years but I’ll be working. I have two elementary school kids so burned all my leave when they were born and it did take ages to build any back. I took two weeks in December, random days here and there this year, and plan two weeks over the summer (one in mid July and one in August) and I won’t have that many days left at that point. (We want to travel again for Thanksgiving.) I’m on a very fast paced project that’s left little time for the related administrative paperwork so I hope to catch up on that Friday.


+1. The next gen will have it better thankfully. It wasn’t that great until they changed policies.

I work the 4th ( holiday pay, yay) but I’m off the 5th/6th/7th.

On a side note, please don’t call the Police about fireworks. Educate yourself about the difference between a gunshot and a firework. If you don’t know, google is your friend.


When its after midnight with continuous fireworks, I will be calling. Holiday or no, people need to work the next day even if you don't.

Have to work that day. State employee. Hoping that we get an email on wednesday saying the governor is closing offices. (or my state university president is.)
