Extra fishing day? Bush Declares Friday A Federal Holiday...
...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.

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

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

Fed is definitely closed, so bond markets and banks are closed.
Friday is also a stock exchange holiday.

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.

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.

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 |

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.

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.
