The Monday between the weekend and a Tuesday holiday

By SysAdmin1138 on
Here in the US we have four National Holidays that are date-locked. The rest are subject to the Monday Holiday Law. The four date-locked ones are:
  • Independence Day, July 4th
  • Veterans Day, November 11th
  • Christmas, December 25th
  • New Years Day, January 1st
Whenever such a holiday lands on either a Tuesday or a Thursday, the Monday and Friday respectively mean that as many people as possible take the day off. Such as today! This being a 'family holiday' people like to get Christmas Eve off. And boy have they. I'm the only Technical Services person here today, though I have a stack of cell numbers in case anything goes pear-shaped. ADMCS is pretty light, and I think there is one (1) person at the ADMCS ops helpdesk. ATUS is probably similarly staffed.

An old coworker of mine used to say that she loved days like these. She could get SO MUCH DONE without interruption. I know what she means.

My turn comes next week. I'm taking New Years Eve off.
