Is it a Holiday this weekend?

wrote:
You guys are right, most schools have this week off.

So it looks like we will skip this weekend and go skiing next weekend.

What? If you still have to work, you must ski EVERY weekend, every
holiday, and take your annual vacation in winter; else how will you get
your requisite days in?

Pretty late in the season though...so it looks like we will only be
able to ski once this year.

You ski near the equator? It's still February - season isn't even half over.

But they all say "not valid 2/18-2/26"

Why is this weekend not valid? I dont think its a holiday.
^^^^^^^^^^^^
emphasis added to help klaus


It's not a _federal_ holiday; it is school vacation week for many/most
US public schools, thus "holiday" as far as ski areas are concerned.
They're all jammin'.




Bull****. Did you think all federal offices were closed for cleaning?

What's wrong with you? Last weekend was not a federal holiday, nor is
this weekend; Monday 2/20 was. Go look at your own link.

*Every* weekend is a Federal Holiday. It's the Mondays that are unusual.

Mary, Mary, quite contrary... I take it Christmas Holiday is just one day
as well, hence the blackouts are not due to it being a holiday..

You are right. The blackout has *nothing* to do with it being a _federal_
holiday, Sheesh.

And you ask what's wrong with me? chuckle

I just noticed a "Happy St. Patrick's Season" balloon at the market. Will we
be expected to buy cards and gifts? I would think that since the proper way
to celebrate St. Paddy's Day is to get roaring drunk on green beer, turning it
into a whole season might end tragically. Is Hallmark a Brit company?

Would that be while skiing Ootah or did you mean LSD?

*Every* weekend is a Federal Holiday.

How come none of them show up on that link, then? How come the mail
gets delivered on Saturdays?

Tray again...

NASA and FAA flight controllers work 365 (366 during leap years) days
per year. Does that mean there is no such thing as a federal holiday?

I had a rocked scientist girlfriend who worked for NASA. It seemed to me
she took a holiday pretty much whenever she wanted. Is that what you mean?
And the budget thing. She had to spend her entire budget, or else she
couldn't get allocated enough budget to operate the following year. Instead
of rewarding frugality, NASA punishes it.
