I have a half day! Pretty stoked because I've never had a job that closed early for good Friday. Daycare's only open till 3pm so this works out well.

I have to work. I've only heard of days off/shortened days at companies that have heavy seasonal work that causes other missed holidays (4th of July & Thanksgiving).

@regberadaisy: That's exciting! Are you planning on some self care time between when you get let out and daycare pickup?
I've always had Good Friday and Easter Monday off as stat holidays. Yay, 4 day weekend! But that's pretty standard for government.

Nope! That's one of the few holidays we take off. Looking forward to it!

@Astro Bee: DH and I were planning on a long lunch before going to get the girls. But, he has to fill in for a coworker who's on vacation. Boo. I'm going to head to Target and grab stuff for DD's birthday next month.

Nope, but only because I requested it off! Dh and I are going to Chicago this weekend

We used to have a half day, but a couple years ago they got rid of that and the half day on New Years Eve and replaced it with one full-day floating holiday. On maternity leave this year!

Yes. Although I am leaving at 2:30 cause day care is having Easter parties at 3.

Yes. Apparently we used to get it off, but during one of our contract negotiations they changed it so we get Black Friday off instead, which I prefer since it means we get a 4-day holiday weekend and I don't have to come back from the Bay for one day (or use my own time to take it off).

I am taking a half day but will probably work more than a half day because I'm trying to get a big project done.

No, we are closed, but every year my boss asks why we have it off, so he may take it away at some point!

My husband and I are both off. Sadly, we will probably just clean since my mother is flying into town that evening.

My workplace is open as usual, but I did decide to take the whole day off. Have an appointment in the morning and who wants to come back to work on a Friday afternoon?!

I have work but might try to duck out early because it's my birthday on Friday

Both DH and I have to work while day care is closed. His parents are coming to watch the boys.

I have to work, but imagine many of customers will close early. My day may be a little shorter outside of the house.

Nope, our office is closed. But day care is also closed. So I'll be trying to get two kids out of the house and entertained since my husband works from home on Fridays and he won't be able to get much done if we're around. And my baby has his 4 month shots in the afternoon.

I have it off! It's the first company I've worked for that gives it off as a holiday so I'm always stoked to get it off!

I SAH, but when I was teaching, our district's spring break always led into Easter Sunday.
DH is taking a four day weekend, starting Thurs. He works for a government funded organization and wouldn't otherwise have it off.

It's not an official holiday for us, but my office usually closes at 3pm on Good Friday. I already took the day off though because my parents will be in town for a visit.

Yes. It is not a holiday to our board or CEO. I could use my floating holiday, but I'm saving it for the Friday before July 4.
grapefruit / 4418 posts
Yes we have work. I can't fathom a large company having this as a regular paid holiday!

@catomd00: I work for an investment bank and it surprises me every year when I remember that the stock market (and therefore my office) is closed for Good Friday.

My office is closed Friday and it is also my birthday so I get an additional bonus day too. Going to get my hair cut while DS is at daycare.
