Holidays

[RobDog888]

On our Public Calendar there is a holiday called Pentecoast. What is that?
We have Easter, Palm Sunday, & Ash Wednesday, but no New Years, X-Mas, Independance Day, etc.

So should holidays on the PC be added for highly known holidays or what?

[NoteMe]

Pentecost celebrates the outpouring of the Holy Spirit upon the Apostles in the book of Acts, and thus, the beginning of the Church.

I thought you were too?

So, only religious holidays should be on the Calendar?

[NoteMe]

Most hollidays are religious though. I can only think about ONE day you have off in Norway that is not a holliday except for your week during the summer...

[RobDog888]

We have several over here that are not religious and are National holidays..

New Years Day (1/1/2005)
Martin Luther King Day (1/17/2005)
Lincolns B-Day (2/12/2005)
Washingtions B-Day (2/19/2005)
Memorial Day (5/30/2005)
Independance Day (7/4/2005)
Labor Day (9/5/2005)
Columbus Day (10/12/2005)
Thanksgiving (11/24/2005)

RD - of the holidays you listed - these 7 (adding Christmas) are the primary federal and state holidays - most personnel contracts/labor agreements we have worked with have these 7 standards...

New Years Day (1/1/2005)
Martin Luther King Day (1/17/2005)...(or Easter/Good Friday)
Easter/Good Friday ... see above
Memorial Day (5/30/2005)
Independance Day (7/4/2005)
Labor Day (9/5/2005)
Thanksgiving (11/24/2005)
Christmas (12/25/2005)

Pretty much guaranteed to have a town hall/school district and state governmant offices be closed on these days. No mail - stuff like that...

[RobDog888]

Well I wasnt listing the religious ones.

But the banks are closed on Columbus day and no mail or school either.

These all vary depending on your place of employment.

A couple of hours to go until 3-Day weekend. w00t w00t

Yeah - but we don't take 4 to 6 week "vacations" like you do over in Europe...

We are expected to be at work a bit more often then that!

But aren't you just kicking back and watching little particles go round and round on your monitor??

BTW - kicking back: feet up on desk - hands behind head - leaning back - just in case we had an idiom issue here

[RobDog888]

I mean how kick back could NoteMe be? He even has a secretary. What kind of programmer needs a secretary?
