:confused: that is what's being accomplished today—what's wrong with that? i'm off today without pay but i wouldn't expect everyone who gets the day off as part of their compensation package to work so i can get paid... :confused:

Any of you guys have to work today because you don't work for the government? Just makes me sad with the state of our nation and economy, the last thing we need is more days off.

I dint mean to offend anybody, and i know everyone works hard. J just hate that our whole nation is shut down today because Christmas was yesterday.

Re: Christmas on the 26th? Really?

I'm sorry. I came off frustrated.. i just would really like the postal system to be operational as i am trying to send and get a few things that should have occurred last week but the whole Christmas thing is making it all late. I don't.like telling people twice.in one.week that i dont have their gift because the world stops for the day after Christmas.

I work for the goverment, I had Christmas off for a paid holiday but not today although I could have taken a holiday and still have been paid or I could have taken the next 12 days off as paid holidays and a few weeks paid vacation but it wouldn't have helped get your packages or checks deposited :lr

Re: Christmas on the 26th? Really?

It aggrevated me too today to see a few things closed, I needed to send some bills off etc... But then I got to thinking: I get an extra day off this week and get paid for Christmas at my measly job. So Government places and banks are already closed on sundays is why they get monday off.... I realized this after I checked the mailbox for the 5th time today.

Last I checked.. the US government doesn't recognize religious holidays as National holidays? So much for the separation. I'm not Jewish, but we didn't close for all 8 days of Chanukah.
