Good morning all...

In some parts of Canada to-day is a holiday for all but federal employees... Grin

My belief is if you are going to have a holiday then make it all across the country and for one and all... Wink

I do not have a problem with a Statutory Holiday one or two days a month as life is too short to be working all the time anyways.
I have always been in favour of a three or four day work week.
As long as there are services like the military, police, fire, ambulance and emergency measures twenty four hours a day, seven days a week all year round...why not.

I think this Family Day Holiday in only parts of Canada should be changed to a full Statutory Holiday and called:

"Dougs Day" just because I am a wonderful Old Retired Rocking Chair Flying Geezer.... Grin

And the guy in the mirror told me that this morning...

Cheers...Happy Landings...Doug

Happy Dougs day Doug! Its nice to have a break between New years and Easter. Especially when your office is outdoors. I can hardly wait for spring, but I know March and April and May are pretty unpredictable. Wink

Flying with twins is a lot of fun..

What a coincidence, today is Presidents day in the US. Government employees and a few others get the day off, schools might be closed too, not sure. It's been a long time since I was in school Wink

banks also get presidents day too....which until I got promoted in December I would receive this holiday as well since I was on field holidays. Now I'm on corporate holidays and receive the same amount of days just at different times of the year.
