pmdemey Posted November 7, 2005 Posted November 7, 2005 I just started a new job last Tuesday. When we made out my schedual I asked for BF off, when she asked why she laughed at me! lol But I got the day off! Any one having problems?
Guest all2tired Posted November 7, 2005 Posted November 7, 2005 Nope but I do need dh to stay home so I can go. He has off anyway but like to get the double time.
missyjane Posted November 7, 2005 Posted November 7, 2005 Already scheduled vacation for Wed, Fri and then Monday to rest.
erh12275 Posted November 7, 2005 Posted November 7, 2005 I am currently looking for a job and I told hubby I would have to have it off if I found one...lol.
likehome Posted November 7, 2005 Posted November 7, 2005 My office is always closed on BF...we have to take annual leave or no pay for the day.
saraczek Posted November 7, 2005 Posted November 7, 2005 We have an inservice day where I work on BF so that works out great for me
Trishy Posted November 7, 2005 Posted November 7, 2005 We always have a 4 day weekend. Our office gave up Columbus day holiday to have the 4 day weekend.
krstee Posted November 7, 2005 Posted November 7, 2005 I was only able to take 1/2 days on my first 2 black fridays since my co-worker HAD to have the day off and we both couldn't be gone for the whole day. Now I get the day off anyway. Yeah!
ebony0421 Posted November 7, 2005 Posted November 7, 2005 That is nice that some jobs are allowing people to be off from work to spend time with their families during the holiday season.....and go shopping on bf.
fingerlakesmom Posted November 7, 2005 Posted November 7, 2005 My dh has it off so he can watch the boys
elena_398 Posted November 7, 2005 Posted November 7, 2005 Im lucky. Im a SAHM and my husband is always off
Spotted1 Posted November 7, 2005 Posted November 7, 2005 My DH is taking the day off. His boss'll probably have a fit about it..but he's taking the day anyway.
fairydustcrissy Posted November 7, 2005 Posted November 7, 2005 My hubby is gonna TRY to close, so I can shop. He has to be in @ 1 if this works out.
sperdue Posted November 7, 2005 Posted November 7, 2005 I'm new here. This is the perfect place for me; I live for a bargain!!!! I literally had to BEG for the day off. We are "blacked out" from taking time off Nov - Jan. That really stinks, but the kicker is I didn't ask for any holidays, just black friday!! My coworkers think I'm nuts. They just don't know what fun it is!
lovebears65 Posted November 7, 2005 Posted November 7, 2005 I couldnt get the day off by asking for it , all the PTO was taken and I asked for it 3 months ahead of time But another girl who has Fris off wanted her Sunday before off so we switched days so Now I have the DAY OFF
JazzMama Posted November 7, 2005 Posted November 7, 2005 Already scheduled vacation for Wed, Fri and then Monday to rest.I'm sooooo jealous! However, that said - congrats on the time-off!! We get Friday as a standard day off, so luckily I don't have to use up a vacation/personal day.
peachysquirt21 Posted November 7, 2005 Posted November 7, 2005 My hubby has asked for this day off but will see. He might have to work but I told him if he has to to get a shift later in the day. LOL My mom just got a job so she is gonna tell them she cant work that day. LOL Hopefully she will get it off.
kryss Posted November 7, 2005 Posted November 7, 2005 having BF off is always a good thing!!! Both DH and I'll have it off this year, but the drawback is that we'll be in Sacramento instead of Florida!!! Dang family has to interfere with our BF plans!!!! Oh well, at least they'll all get to see the baby for the first time. Kriss
all4linkae Posted November 7, 2005 Posted November 7, 2005 Im a sahm but I watch a little girl part time, her mom has it off ~ woohoo and my hubby always has that day off so he gets to watch the kids :)
Aaron Posted November 7, 2005 Posted November 7, 2005 My office is always closed on BF...we have to take annual leave or no pay for the day.Same here.
geomacey Posted November 7, 2005 Posted November 7, 2005 I start a new job on Monday ... just assumed they would be closed the day after Thanksgiving. JUST found out that may not be the case this year. OHOH... I didn't negotiate for that day off! Hopefully between the office manager and me, we can convince them to stay closed!!!!
copados1993 Posted November 8, 2005 Posted November 8, 2005 I'm hoping my Mother is lucky to get the day off to go shopping with me. I'd rather not go stand in line alone at 3 am with nothing but a cup of hot coffee!
sigrist_2000 Posted November 8, 2005 Posted November 8, 2005 i took vacation all that week..so i have all weekend and BF to shop...silly me
laffnatu Posted November 8, 2005 Posted November 8, 2005 We get off work at 330 Wednesday and have the rest of week off.. I can't wait!! I am ready to do some shopppppppinggggg!!
casbug10 Posted November 8, 2005 Posted November 8, 2005 I'm taking a vacation day that day.......unless we are closed. They haven't made up their mind yet.
BrandyJervas Posted November 9, 2005 Posted November 9, 2005 Luckily I'm a SAHM that's an independant Avon sales rep so work comes with me where ever I may go but dh works 5am-3pm so he needs to try to get off but before he can get the day they need to see if it's a regular day off stupid military rules. They can't just say hey no matter what you can have the day off but if he can't get off then it looks like my kids will be tagging along and waiting with me.
momm2four Posted November 9, 2005 Posted November 9, 2005 One of the perks of being a teacher...I never have to worry about having that day off. We even have the day before Thanksgiving off too! Lori P. :)
kas3 Posted November 9, 2005 Posted November 9, 2005 I am starting a job at JoAnn's Fabric store tomorrow. I told them I couldn't work any Friday at all, and they told me Black Friday is mandatory. What could I do? So I told them I would work evening only.
Princess7915 Posted November 9, 2005 Posted November 9, 2005 I don't work, but my mom always gets the day so we can BF together
