Pretty obvious. Who the hell would believe Catholics had a better sense of humor than anyone?

I hate to admit it, but he has a point.... except that the priest at my wife's church is a pretty funny guy - he's Irish.

Catholics are usually pretty drunk. Drunks are funny - especially to other drunks.

Re: TRP: Summer, come now!
I always loved that Catholics (Roman Catholic, to be precise) preached against imbibing alcohol and gambling, but always had Bingo and Beer Tents at their yearly festivals, which were also the biggest moneymakers. Growing up, our Monsignor was of the "women should be barefoot/pregnant/in the kitchen" attitude. 9 years of Catholic schooling actually set me right in attitude; mostly in learning the lesson of hypocrisies.

With how crappy getting a good job has been for me, I am starting to consider this kind of approach at this point.

Re: TRP: Summer, come now!
The "employment engagement" aka offer sheet for my new job was sent to me today. Five sick days per year and a whopping seven vacation days for the first year with a grand total of seven company holidays (New Years, Good Friday, Memorial Day, 4th of July, Labor Day, Thanksgiving, Christmas). It's going to be a long year.

Re: TRP: Summer, come now!
Also you are only getting Thursday off for Thanksgiving? So you have to waste one of your other days off for Friday? Surprising, unless its a bank or something.
Strange Holiday choices. Good Friday?

Re: TRP: Summer, come now!
Yep, Good Friday. And the Thursday is technically the only day off for Thanksgiving, but apparently most if not all of the employees "work from home" on Friday. The company does consulting work for 300+ companies at a weekly or monthly period so I guess most of the holidays are "strategic" so that the work can get done.

Re: TRP: Summer, come now!
I don't recall ever having the Friday following Thanksgiving off since I was 15. In school I worked retail - you work. And now I work finance, so it's skeleton shift. That means I can actually get work done.

Re: TRP: Summer, come now!
Our company offers "voluntary time off" for the Friday after T-Day. Otherwise, we only ship UPS Next Day Air stuff, and the like. Maybe 3 people needed for that. The rest do maintenance stuff around the building. Easy money, and since we have a good chunk of people whose families are out of state, I work and let them go home for the weekend. (VTO is seniority-based on that day; I'm 3rd most senior).

That's essentially what I'll be doing for the most part, so I'm assuming it'll be a productive day.

Re: TRP: Summer, come now!
Screw that. I'm not in retail or finance, so i'll take my days off thanks.
I think we only get 9 holidays (+ a floater depending on where in the week Christmas falls that year). But always the Thurs-Fri of Thanksgiving.

Re: TRP: Summer, come now!
Definitely don't work the day after Thanksgiving. I get 9 holidays, with 4 floaters, plus 10 vacation days. Only 2 years before I get an extra 5 days of vacation...

Re: TRP: Summer, come now!
We get the day after Thanksgiving off, but not Good Friday. New Years, Memorial Day, July 4th, Labor Day, Thanksgiving, Day After Thanksgiving, Christmas, plus one extra day for whichever of those movable holidays falls on a Tuesday or Thursday; the subsequent Monday or Friday is off. If the holiday is on a weekend, the nearest Friday or Monday is off. Plus 4 floaters, 15 vacation days, and use-your-overtime-to-create-a-holiday (i.e. comp time). Floaters use or lose in a year, comp time gets paid out at the end of the year if you don't use it, and vacation you can only accrue up to a certain amount.

Re: TRP: Summer, come now!
I think with PTO/Holidays I am taking 36 paid days off this year.
Certainly if you are getting a lot of other days off it makes up for it. No one would argue that.

Re: TRP: Summer, come now!
Me either, since I started working. I don't technically work in finance (all our clients are in finance, though), but we work that day too. We get New Year's Day, MLK, Memorial Day, July 4th, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day. Used to get 3 weeks of vacation and be able to carry over 2 weeks, but now I just get 3 weeks plus 3 "personal days" and we can't carry over any vacation. OT is expected and unpaid. I think I have another 3 years before I get an extra week of vacation (that would be at 15 years). Reading this, it kind of sucks compared to others.
