It's Veteran's Day! The banks are closed, but Mr. Bee and I never take off holidays like this... only the big ones like Thanksgiving and Christmas. Luckily our daycare is open too!
Do you have the day off?

I had to take off from work as our day care is closed.

I'm off! Not because it is a holiday (not recognized at my work anyway), but because I make my own work schedule. I didn't even realize it was Veteran's day when I scheduled this week.

I'll never have certain holidays off. The joy of working in hospitals.
ETA: BUT I am off tonight and this weekend.

Yep, I'm a teacher. BUT...it'll be a catch-up day on the mountain off essays that need to be graded.

Nope. We only get the main 6 holidays a year - Christmas, New Years, Thanksgiving, Fourth of July, Memorial Day, Labor Day.

I had the day off but not because of Veteran's Day. I'm a teacher and it's the end of the trimester so we always have a teacher work day and a day off. Husband never gets holidays off unless he just so happens to not catch a train that day.

Yup, this province closes just about everything, and since I work in a mall, that means I'm off. Every year I was a teacher, I also got it off.
DH on the other hand, can work today, but when he's home, he chooses not too, preferring to go to a Remembrance day ceremony, bit this year he's out west and is working. Hoping to get double time!

Yup, I'm off. I work in banking so I get most of the holidays off-Columbus Day and Presidents Day are the only two holidays we are open.

Today's a floater holiday at my office and I took the day off but am working from home. Haven't gotten much done yet, though ; )

I'm at work and actually had to be in earlier than usual today. Very much looking forward to the weekend!

Because its a holiday most schools have off, today is actually one of the busier days in my office. We plan our photoshoots around the kid's school schedule so the models dont have to take off school to come and do the shoot

I took today off, but normally I would have to work. I needed a day away to get some tasks accomplished and I'm so glad I did.

I worked! But, I am working from home until the baby comes so no having to go into the office.

My work is technically locally government so we always get Veterans Day off. However I was "working" very hard to keep my dogs uncrazy while we had the flooring redone in the basement. I think it may have been harder than an actual day of work!

I worked today and so did my husband. I had to drive him to work though because he went to his bus and the route was closed for the holiday.

Nope, the hospital I work at only gets the 6 main holidays off- Christmas, New Years, Thanksgiving, Fourth of July, Memorial Day, Labor Day.
Plus, in my department (open 24/7) we have to work one winter holiday (Christmas, New Years, Thanksgiving) and one summer holiday (Fourth of July, Memorial Day, Labor Day). And to make that even worse- holiday pay is only an extra $3 and hour.

I worked a half day today, we pick and choose our days off, the joys of a small town office. Doesn't matter either way, I don't get holiday pay..

I'm a SAHM, so some may say I have every day off (even though I don't agree). I wouldn't say I had the day off, though, especially since the husband is at work until tomorrow and I'm flying solo.

I was at work all day (one of the busiest days I've had this year.) while DH was at home with the furbabies. (He's a bank manager)...
