...to observe the passing of former President Ronald Reagan.

Don't mean to be disrespectful, but I just thought I'd get an early start on your weekend plans.

Damn, wonder if Romney will declare a State holiday for Reagan?? pfft, I don't think so...

The NYSE has not said if its closing or not. When Nixon died, they did. I may be off if the market is closed.

:happy:

yep me too.. my job is revolved around the nyse too..

Reuters just quoted a source saying the markets would likely be closed this Friday.

Let's all catch a fish in honor of our late great leader.

Yup, markets are closed. :p :p :p

Anyone know if the Federal Reserve is still open?

Fed is definitely closed, so bond markets and banks are closed.

Friday is also a stock exchange holiday.

so i guess that we all are free. does this apply to state house interns?

We're a bank the fed is closed and we are still open. :mad:

Call in sick. :hihi:

What about school?? hahaha, I wish

Expecting to be off (post office), plug bag is set to go:D :happy: johnny "tRB"

Might be off. Work for AT&T on Department of State contract. The passport agencies close, so do we.

Wh00t !!!

Ben, so where we fishin' ?:D

:hihi:

Normally I would never get this day off. My company is small and doesn't follow the feds or the state when declaring days off.

But I have Friday off anyhow - I took it off weeks ago. Because my wonderful girl-friend got me a present. A day on the boat with Bil and Jules. Wish me luck. I think I am going to get put on my first keeper...and hopefully a bunch of them.

Fisherwoman if you read this I am so eager to go....I am already having trouble sleeping and constantly squirm in my seat. I cannot wait to get out there and land some striped-ones.

D'oh! Ohwell.

for me to get Friday off Reagan would have to have been a Yale grad or a major contributor . but I start vacation on friday night .

so I need 2 bushes and a clinton to die before I get a day off .

WOOHOO, I got Friday off!!

They gave us a choice. Work HALF a day friday and get a vacation day or take it off.
Chalk up another day for the fall.

im lucky i get christmas off! damn cars always break. :wall:

Looks like I'll be one of only two people in my ofice who have to go in. :(

But, I'm probably gonna have a choice of taking either a weekend session pay or a comp day :happy:

Well even though we are off every other day the Stock Market is closed my place is making us come in for a half day tomorrow. I can't believe we are not getting any comp time or something for coming in. There goes my thoughts of getting an extra boating day I guess.

I got screwd too, we're working tomorrow

Where I work we also follow the market holidays but we are open tomorrow. It doesn't make any sense to me especially because of the rarity of the event. Every other country in the world would shut down out of respect but not here.

Day off with full pay

Just wish it had been different circumstances.

But ! I'll Take It
