Does it suck to be at work on a holiday yes. But I am thankful for a job. I'm just a bit disturbed that so many people and companies are having to work today like it's just another day. I personally think it's disrespectful to not honor this day and remember those who gave all for us to have the liberties and freedoms that we do. That's why I'm bothered. Have me work Easter or some other bs holiday like Halloween. But if there is a purpose behind the holiday then give the respect where respect is due

Halliburton here. Well bore intervention. Worked a short day of nine hours. We are off But a few major oil companies have us out. Don't bother me cause I had to work holidays while in the military. I'm glad our country does recognize its veterans and their sacrifice.

The country cannot come to a halt so that everyone can BBQ, drink beer and complain about how shitty their jobs are the rest of the year. Cops, fireman, store clerks, restraunts, grocery stores and everything else we take for granted are all ran by people. Unless you'd prefer them to ran by people other than Americans, someone, somewhere must work on days that others get to enjoy off. Its just the way it is............
That sucks ***.......... you need to tell the manager to bring that deal back. It was awesome.

Off topic...I think I saw you at wally word awhile back. You were leaving as we were getting out of the trailblazer. My 3yr old boy is a car freak and when you started it up I think he got a chubby. He was pretty excited and kept telling me, "cool car daddy, cool car" to which I agreed.

i used to work reatil and the only days we would close if Xmas and thanksgiving. If you work on a holiday all you get is a damn floater. Which means u work the holiday and u can take another paid day off sometime within 90 days.
I dont know how they get away with that **** but i hated it !. Thanks GOD i work for an awesome company now.
