Four Day Weekend: Good Friday - Better Monday
Being in the auto industry has its pluses and minuses. One of the big pluses is usually having a four day weekend including Good Friday and what I call Better Monday. Anyone else out there looking at four days off?
What are your plans (besides attending the Spring Game)?
sure looks like uncle tedly.

That's easily the most terrifying thing I've ever heard.
Yep. 4 day weekend coming up. I work in the Auto industry as well.
Took leave till Wednesday.

Same situation here. I get tomorrow off but not Monday.
My mother-in-law work for the University and she gets neither day off actually. Not sure of that's a departmental thing or the school just does that. Either way, she keeps telling me I need to come in anyway tomorrow to make her feel less bad about it.
I'll pass by the building on the way to get cat food. Honest.
give them credit, if nothing else it is an efficient use of time.
Here in Godless New England we have Monday (i.e. Marathon Monday) off, but not Good Friday.
I'll be celebrating the arrival of our Lord and Savior in Jerusalem by working Friday.
THANKS BOSS

and told her I'm taking the day off. I know it's short notice but I'm not the one that just took an 8 FUCKING WEEK medical leave like she did. All her crap fell to me for the last two months.
So fuck em. I need a day.
It did line up nicely with annual bonus time though. I was doing about 75 hours per week between the office and home when they were deciding how much to give out. I got about 50% more than last year.
So I was able to supersize at McD's.
Did he/she make you work Palm Sunday?
I did have to work on palm Sunday. Though after work I got me some new palms.
for a meh Friday.
Preaching. Contemplating. Preparing. Easter Egg Hunt. Preaching. Feasting. Then lots of sleeping.
and it is about time.
At some point there will be a political argument that's started by an inane joke. Because that's what we do.

I'll probably turn the games on in the 4th quarter and watch the ending. The amount of whistles and stoppage kill me, especially since I don't really care about any of the teams. I just want the Cavs to lose, always.
I only have three days off, but I'm going to eat some pot brownies tomorrow, party with my future wife on Saturday, and hopefully play hockey on Sunday. Should be a good time.

I'll be rather busy this weekend, which should come as zero surprise to anybody. Great stuff going, though.
Side note: I consider the Friday theory to be incorrect. Not a big deal, but that's the conclusion I've come to; consequently I don't celebrate "Good Friday" on Friday.

I almost have a four-day weekend. I work a softball game and then plan on taking Monday off since my wife gets it off. Can't wait!
the 4 day weekend. Have fun for all of you lucky enough to get a 4 day weekend!
Same here. My next day off will be the 23rd. Just came to this thread to live vicariously through all of you who have a better weekend lined up than I do.
