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.

The federal gov't gets President's Day, but I don't. Boo!
