Cooley is closed Thanksgiving and the day after so I get a 4 day weekend!

Andy's job is closed on Thanksgiving but he's working Friday for double pay.

Good thing you are in AZ and I am in OH...or we would be fightin' right about now......

Addicts. Whatever.

Well since I work at a pet bording facility we can't not come in for the day. We are closed to the public that day, but of corse still need to come in and care for the animals. Everyone is required to work that day, but because everyone is working we are all able to work less hours- we just added more shifts to the day.

I did request friday off though (and got it). Justin has a 4 day weekend and I wanted a day off with him.

I have the rest of the week off. The office that I work in is closing today for the week so I am very proud of that. I am also out of college this week too.

I work at a vet so even when we're closed we have to have two people working to take care of the animals. Luckily we choose the holidays we work ... well, usually. Since I've worked there (1 1/2 years) I've worked every holiday except last Thanksgiving and July 4th. And that includes holidays like Memorial Day and such. But I'm only working New Years this holiday season so I'm really happy about that. I really didn't want to work Christmas!!

I used to volunteer to work Thanksgiving and Christmas so that a co-worker with children could have it off. But, it just so happens that this year, my schedule worked out that I would be home for Thanksgiving.

Being that I work for the USPS in a processing plant, I'm working thanksgiving day. However, that's been normal for me for the past few years. Wars don't takes holidays (the last time that happened was WW1) and I spent the last two years (Jan 03-Jan 05) training troops to go fight in Iraq. Prior to that I also worked for the USPS, and I'm the junior Technician, so I work the holidays. Maybe in about 10 years or so I'll get a holiday off.
