Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Why do people have three-day weekends? What holiday am I forgetting?

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
Presidents Day.

The status is NOT quo.
It's Friday! How many people have a three day weekend this week?
I do! And we are spending it in our favorite little getaway out near Palm Springs. It's the first birthday/Valentines long weekend I've ever had (usually Presidents' Day falls the weekend after). Very happy-making.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Yay Presidents!!

President's day. Which I don't get off.

Today is a quiet day. 2/3 of the 8th grade and 1/3 of the 7th grade are on field trips. My classes are reduced to 3-8 people per class. So, we're watching The Muppet Show in my drama classes.

I've got a three-day weekend, too! Last year, it was up to us to decide who was going to cover and who was going to be off, so I worked on Monday and took a day off later in the week. This year, Boss asked us who was willing to cover, and I said I wanted the day off instead. I was going to see if I could also take a half-day today, but I think I'll stick around until 6:00 and get some stuff done.
And in completely other stuff, does anyone know if tobogganing hills are still around? I remember as a kid we'd drive up to the big hill about 30 miles north of Joliet and rent a sled and head down the grooves under the big lights they had on the hillside. That place closed down back in the late '80s, IIRC, and I haven't seen another one since.

People seriously get that off? Huh.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Yup. I've gotten President's Day off everywhere I've worked in Cali.
