Who is working on "A Day Of Mourning" Tuesday?

[RecycleMichael]

I understand why there is a need to honor a past President. I don't understand why some governments are taking the day off and others are not.

I guess the state workers needed the day off to recover from a late night Oklahoma Sooners football game.

I think it's a bit much considering they are tacking it on the end of a federal holiday. No banking, mail, etc for 3 days.

[Phireman]

I have to go back Tuesday.  

I'm sure my children missed me.

[DM]

I am working.

I see where Governor Henry is also giving state employees off on November 16th to observe the Oklahoma Centennial.

State employees already got eleven holiday days in 2007 and now will get two more. Thirteen days off plus two to five weeks vacation based on longevity...

[]I have to go back to work but I also have to work on Martin Luther King Day as well. Its just another day for me.

I work everyday.

[8D]what do you do for a living?

[AMP]

Own and operate two businesses and am an investor and consultant in two others.  

Tonight I am taking inventory and placing an order for 33 classes of participants for an upcoming annual motorsports event we produce every year in January.  

I am also working on our display ads for print in six newspapers next week. I will email them later tonight.

yee ****ing haw.  to all the gov workers getting off....  enjoy your taxpayer paid holiday on me.  Now I expect you to work at double efficiency tomorrow (or about 60%) to make up for the lost work day.

... and no "close 20 minutes early because you are sick of helping people" business. We expect you to work a legitimate day.

I wonder if my trash pickup will be cheaper this month since they don't pick up on christmas or new years.

My trash got picked up on both Christmas Day and this morning.....but it is a private contractor in the middle of nowhere. What is strange, their normal pick up day is Friday.

As far as working, I worked yesterday, I worked today, and tomorrow will work harder (no football to catch my attentions).
