EmConMom Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 I work only 2- evenings per week Friday is not one of those, so I always have the whole day off. Dh takes a vacation day every year so that he can watch the kids. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sns128 Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 I'm job searching at the moment so I don't know how that will work yet, normally I have that day off as part of the Thanksgiving Holiday. DH's job is closed so he gets paid for the day off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fairydustcrissy Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 SAHM here too, but DH has to work. He always schedules himself to work the evening shift, which means 1pm. I have to get everything done & home by 12:30 at the latest It stinks, but I guess it makes for better time mgt, lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tjredsox4 Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 I do transcription at home so I can take off whenever I want, but it helps that the accounts I work on are closed for the holiday. One of them is the doctor's office I used to work at and they are off with pay. Can't wait to shop, just hope my sister doesn't have her babies that week. I told her to wait till we're done shopping or the next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lorilwayne Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 being a nurse we are open 24/7/365. It is basically luck of the draw. This year- my luck has run out. Thats ok- next year I'm having surgery in November so I can be off for BF and for Thanksgiving- guaranteed! This year- I plan on hitting as many blitz sales before then and just being mindful. I already started shopping for the holiday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tara3117 Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 Just got a new job that does Friday as a paid holiday and half day on Christmas Eve. It's part of the reason I took the job, although my last company was really cool about letting us blow a vacation day on Black Friday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JazzMama Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 My job considers Black Friday (or "Day after Thanksgiving" is what they call it) a part of our Thanksgiving holiday, so I dont have to pretend Im sick every year...lol or use any kind of vacation. We also get Christmas Eve as a holiday, too. :)Ditto here! That was one of the 1st things I asked about last year when I was interviewing for the job!

hnybee411 Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 we usually have it as a paid day off, but they will not let us know until a couple weeks before.Same here. If we don't get it off, I'll have to take a half day so I can go in late. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tigger97498 Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 I have the day off with pay its considered part of the holiday (I just wish the day after christmas was the same way. I'm still waiting to hear if my vacation day has been approved on that) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kranky Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 It's a paid holiday for me, but I won't be doing any shopping. If I had to go out and shop in that chaos it would take me a week to stop sobbing while curled up in a ball on the floor. Madness! It's madness, I tell you! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tokanm Posted September 6, 2008 Share Posted September 6, 2008 Unfortunately it is one of the busiest days at the pediatricians office. Everyone put off having their sick kid seen on Thanksgiving (even though one of the offices in our group is open 365 days a year..we take turns It is just chaos in the office that day. Luckily I have been there for 20 years and I am taking the day off I am however working Christmas Eve and the day after Christmas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sbwolfer Posted September 6, 2008 Share Posted September 6, 2008 I'm a SAHM so no need to worry about requesting a day off. DH's job is closed that day so he's always home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
booga12345 Posted September 7, 2008 Share Posted September 7, 2008 My job considers Black Friday (or "Day after Thanksgiving" is what they call it) apart of our Thanksgiving holiday, so I dont have to pretend Im sick every year...lol or use any kind of vacation. So how do you handle your job or is it also apart of Thanksgiving. We also get Christmas Eve as a holiday, too. :) I love my job. EDIT*** "your" not "yor"...sorry! Exactly the same here. But I "like" my job as oppossed to "love" my job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
