    1. @scribus This upcoming weekend is going to be a 3 day weekend for me, though it kind of stinks because my college doesn't get a reading week but pretty much everyone else I know who's in college or university gets a reading week next week (whereas I just have the weekend and the Monday off because the third Monday of February is a statutory holiday here in a few provinces of Canada.

    2. @scribus My employer doesn't have Monday as a holiday, unfortunately.

      1. @takePotato Knishesakenji Where do you work? I thought this was a federal thing, unless you aren't in the USA.

        1. @scribus I'm in the US, but not all employers observe Presidents' Day.

            2. @scribus No overtime no matter how many hours we work, and no union. That's just how software development is.

        2. @scribus If all employers observed President's Day the nation would basically shut down every February.

          1. @mrmattimation I know people work through it, but I thought it was at least an overtime pay holiday for that.
