My name is DB Bahn, this is my number two, his name is number two

Are you going anywhere ?

You're not.

I've never had a job where Columbus Day was a holiday. Maybe it's different in the Northeast, but in much of the country it seems the only people who get today off are those who work for a bank, post office, or government agency. Schools, colleges, and universities in the parts of the country where I've lived or worked most of the time never take it as a holiday.

Howdy, Box.

I haven't had Columbus Day off since Grade School. Don't get Presidents' Day, either (hence why I like MLK Day Weekend for Pandyberg Conferences).

Howdy, post whore.

As I said, maybe I'm just lucky. Still seems like a pretty small percentage of overall flights.

Im just gonna do less today, and observe it on my own :D

I don't get MLK or Dia del Presindente

For teh Chase experts out there, I need $125 to score 27,500 CO mi, right? $100 to open chase checking account for 25,000 (plus 5 transactions in the first billing period on the debit card to avoid $6 account maintenance fee). And $25 fee for the Chase CO Debit Card (2,500 miles).

I can close both after the first month and still net the points, correct?

No school today. My block is MUCH quieter than usual. Breakfast at the coffee shop is actually tolerable.

We officially get Presidents' Day — used to be MLK Day and they changed it a few years ago to space the holidays out better. But, like Memorial and Labor Days, it doesn't really mean I'm off, because 99% of the time I'm having to travel to a client on those Monday holidays. Fortunately I get to float those to another day, so they eventually get used like a vacation day later in the year, although, the last two years I've been flying home from Europe on Presidents' Day, so I did get to take it off.

I won't be getting Veteran's Day off next month either, another holiday that most non-government/non-bank employees never see.

I once had a friend who worked for a bank. It was crazy how many holidays they took, even for totally forgettable "holidays" like Flag Day.

That's harsh. No January or February holidays. Do you at least get Good Friday (or anything else before Memorial Day)?

My sister once worked for the Texas State Government. The amount of State and Federal holidays she got was positively ridiculous. Compared to other states, Texas has a lot of State Holidays.

Unfortunately I have a full schedule that involves finishing up my backlog of expense reports, getting an emissions test on the car so I can finally wrap up the long and drawn out process of getting it registered in the :rolleyes: state of Georgia, packing, and getting to ATL in time for a 5:00 PM departure to ORD, which will likely be massively delayed due to the awful weather outside. Not a fun day. I'd rather be in bed.

At least the expense reports are almost done. I shouldn't let myself get so far behind. It's not good to run up the amount owed to me by the company well into five digit territory.
