Anyone get a paid holiday today?

I am loving this song.

SMASH MOUTH

"Holiday In My Head"

Do you believe everything that you read
Everything that you see on the set
You look around at your sleepy little town
And think that this is as good as it gets
Well what you're lookin' at is heaven-sent

[CHORUS]
Every day is a getaway when all of it goes unsaid
I got a holiday a paid holiday
I got a holiday in my head

And what you want, what you really need
Are two different things wouldn't you say
The line is thin between fun and sin
And we're all clockin' in for the day
And our only care is what to wear

[CHORUS]
Every day is a getaway when all of it goes unsaid
I got a holiday a paid holiday
I got a holiday in my head

[BRIDGE]
I got a job but I've got a problem
'Cause I eat too much and I can't afford to solve it
When I'm savin' up for that cruise to the Caymans
And I'm hittin' the snooze so I can keep on dreamin'

[INSTRUMENTAL]

I'm just tryin' to realize
I'm just dyin' to open my eyes
I'm just lookin' for paradise in my living room

[CHORUS]
Every day is a getaway when all of it goes unsaid
I got a holiday a paid holiday
I got a holiday in my head
I've got a holiday a paid holiday
I got a holiday in my head
I've got a holiday a paid holiday
I've got a holiday in my head

And here I was thinking this was going to be about getting time and a half for working on Good Friday. Seriously we should get Good Friday off from school, work etc. I mean, we get a month off for Jesus's birth, but we don't get jack for his death? And if I recall the death and resurrection was more important to the religion than his birth.

i wish i had a day off. ok, i shouldn't complain, b/c i hardly work anyway. but i still like vacation.

i was supposed to be "working from home" today, but i got put on a project (found out at about 4:30 yesterday afternoon) and they wanted me to start today. consequently, i'm at work.

my gf got the day off from school, and there seem to be a lot of other companies taking today off -- there was NO traffic on the drive in this morning.

I should have today off but I was nominated to be the person to ensure the server back-ups get done today.

Well, I'm at work. But it's pointless.

All the regular employees are bailing out like rats from a sinking ship. Since I'm a consultant, I don't have that option. I have to stay here and be available, just in case...

But most of the people who would ever come to me are gone already.

Looks like it's going to be an exciting afternoon of Got|Apex and ebooks on the PDA...

We're closing the office at 3:00 today. So I get a couple hours off.

[Speedfreak]

Nope, I get a paid Sunday off. We always get time and a half on Sunday anyways, so getting paid time and a half and be off is sweet.

Chillin at my Girlie Girl's house right now, celebrating Cesar Chavez day(Good Friday too). Too bad I still have about an hours worth of work(aww poor me )

[jujubees]

Yup, count me in!

It's the best holiday, imo, because other businesses are still open, and I get to run all of the errands that I've been meaning to do. Don't strain yourself, it takes years of training to be a party animal like me.
