MsMarieh... that's interesting to hear. None of the companies that I've worked at, or that my parents have, have ever had any day but the 4th off (but that is really a limited number of places, and locations!). Interesting to hear that in some areas they give you a different day off. Learn something new every day!
I had never heard of that before, but I can kind of see how the companies would see it as a smarter way to give the Monday or Friday off, as folks would be more likely to take that as a leave day anyway. Hmmmm.... interesting facts learned here.
I guess it also is how you read the post. I didn't read the "holiday" as a day off, but as the holiday day itself. Guess that teaches me that my understanding of a question/post isn't always what others read/see. I don't normally associate "holiday" with day off, as there are a number of holidays that we do not get off, but they are still holidays.
Live and learn... makes life more fun!
Had heard about the Yankee Doodle Dandee song, but would love to read up on it... gonna have to go do some research now.
