We traded Columbus Day for the day after Thanksgiving, so I'm at work today.

7. Actually, I'd rather have the day after Thanksgiving off.
It makes more sense. Most people would use a vacation day that day anyway. I'd love to have both, but I don't want to be greedy. :D

Our next holiday is Nov. 11th - Veteran's Day.

But, unfortunately, most of us don't. Still looking foward to the game, though!

B-)

35. Life would be so much better in a class-less society
I miss the HS days of getting columbus day off...instead they add days when they close school early in the face of a glorified shower ("Hurricane" Isabel).

15. It's a huge deal on the East coast
But not here in Michigan. the postal workers get it off and some banks are closed. But it's pretty much business as usual.

24. Uh, no. Virginia checking in, at work!
Also having lived in PA and Delaware and worked every Columbus Day. Your East Coast supposition is wrong.

27. The company I used to work for
had an office in NYC and they closed every columbus. Maybe it's a bigger thing up there? I always assumed it was a bigger deal out east. I guess I was wrong.

28. I wish you WERE right!
It's gorgeous here today, it would have been a great day to have off. :)

I think more companies used to close for it than do now because of the controversy--you know, should we really be celebrating this guy who destroyed the indiginous population in the Americas, etc? I dunno, maybe in this economy, companies just can't afford to let people off for the "minor" holidays.
