And all my days are days off...and none of them. Mr SH works his usual weekend night nonsense but makes 2.5x pay for the sunday-monday. It's nice. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-get-columbus-day-off-next-monday/page/2#post-328883 Sat, 06 Oct 2012 22:57:56 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 328883@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No holidays at my job. I'm working during thanksgiving weekend this year... I do have Christmas off, but not New Years. I usually work Christmas. But 3 day weekends are non-existent for us mostly.</p> <p>I feel lucky when I get a full weekend off! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-get-columbus-day-off-next-monday/page/2#post-328882 Sat, 06 Oct 2012 22:52:21 +0000 Mrs. Blue 328882@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep, God bless the Feds! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-get-columbus-day-off-next-monday/page/2#post-328872 Sat, 06 Oct 2012 22:29:20 +0000 Pepper 328872@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thankfully, yes.

I work for a health system and we technically don't get holidays off, just have to take PTO when we want a day off, and I wouldn't waste one on Columbus Day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-get-columbus-day-off-next-monday#post-328409 Sat, 06 Oct 2012 11:47:41 +0000 Mrs. Cowgirl 328409@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>yep! but, i think it's dumb that we get columbus day off. i hate explaining it to my students and having to teach christopher columbus during social studies! i think it would be more appropriate for us to have veterans day off. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-get-columbus-day-off-next-monday#post-328406 Sat, 06 Oct 2012 11:41:32 +0000 CATWOMAN 328406@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-get-columbus-day-off-next-monday#post-323509 Wed, 03 Oct 2012 21:19:29 +0000 Turd Ferguson 323509@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ugh, no.

However, since I'm on maternity leave I'll technically be "off" for the holiday. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-get-columbus-day-off-next-monday#post-322617 Wed, 03 Oct 2012 13:45:25 +0000 tororojo 322617@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'll be working. I think it's weird that Columbus Day is even considered a holiday... </p>
