gbeenie Posted November 21, 2008 Posted November 21, 2008 Luckily, Fridays are one of my most flexible days, so I can come in later if I desire (it doesn't hurt that I make the schedule!).
2apples Posted November 21, 2008 Posted November 21, 2008 I work for the schools so we have that day off.
dmmiller Posted November 21, 2008 Posted November 21, 2008 We "use" to have to request it off and either take our vacation time off or have it unpaid. But since sooo many people were wanting it off, mainly just to spend with family, they decided to give it to us paid. :) so its part of our holiday pay.
Jenh1973 Posted November 21, 2008 Posted November 21, 2008 we're off I work in an office of all women,we choose to trade MLK day for Black Friday
Mikesgirl Posted November 21, 2008 Posted November 21, 2008 I keep a dear friends kids and that is the only day I wont keep them. Now she goes out with me on BF so she has to get someone to watch the kids. My DH is also off with pay so he goes with us..
klm2433 Posted November 23, 2008 Posted November 23, 2008 My company is open BF (and Christmas Eve) so I use vacation days for both. Luckily, being the only woman in an IT dept full of men, it's common knowledge that I WILL NOT be in so don't even ask! Last year I swung by the office after shopping all my big stores first and dropped off a Christmas tree I picked up really cheap. They put up with me as I put up with them every other day of the year! :)
HBrewer Posted November 23, 2008 Posted November 23, 2008 I work from home, so I give myself the day off.
khall1971 Posted November 23, 2008 Posted November 23, 2008 Luckily, it's a paid holiday for me this year. If it hadn't been, I would have requested it off about 8 months ago.
tdw Posted November 24, 2008 Posted November 24, 2008 New job, have to work -- early. Ugh, no early BF for me
arf110106 Posted November 24, 2008 Posted November 24, 2008 I'm a SAHM so no worries about having the day off. Plus DH works 4/10's so he automatically gets Friday off. He'll be home with baby while me and my best friend shop til we drop!!! So excited!!
Crue2001 Posted November 24, 2008 Posted November 24, 2008 I used to have off every year for black Friday...they just gave us Thanksgiving Day and the Friday afterwards. BUT this year, I don't have a job, so I guess I have Black Friday off and even Cyber Monday this year!
heatherbade Posted November 24, 2008 Posted November 24, 2008 Stay at home mom. I have threatened the life of my husband's boss if he makes my husband work. Last 13 years, he's had BF off.
Kme1958 Posted November 24, 2008 Posted November 24, 2008 Thankfully being an insurance agent we have lengthy paid holidays so I will be glad to be getting paid to shop in the middle of the night LOL! Kara
kjunea Posted November 24, 2008 Posted November 24, 2008 I'm a teacher, so I'm actually off all week this week!!
