El Presidente Posted April 1, 2021 Posted April 1, 2021 Does anyone else have a 4 day Easter long Weekend? I have to say that I am looking forward to this one Off to Sydney tomorrow with Di to catch up with Jason, Fuzz and John S. 4
RedLantern Posted April 1, 2021 Posted April 1, 2021 I'm a teacher and I have spring break next week! Of course that means that I am heavily scheduled with honey-dos and household administrative tasks, but I'm sure I'll sneak a cigar in here and there, if the weather is nice 2
Ken Gargett Posted April 1, 2021 Posted April 1, 2021 always remember when i was working in DC, at close of the day on the thursday, i said goodbye to the other lawyers and told them i hoped they enjoyed their weekend and i'd see them tuesday. they looked at me as though i was insane. asked me where i was going. told me it wwas only thirsday. knew all that. it came as a great surprise to learn that the States did not have the same four day easter break as we do. and a great disappointment. 1

It didn't come as a surprise to the lawfirm that your productivity remained the same on the Friday and monday that you too off. 5

Chibearsv Posted April 1, 2021 Posted April 1, 2021 I’ve told my team that I’m leaving at noon on Friday and got no response which probably means my notice means nothing and I’ll have be prepared for late afternoon business that will require my attention but I still have hope I can sneak out. Hoping for the first round of golf for the year. 2
Kaptain Karl Posted April 1, 2021 Posted April 1, 2021 Even with mortgage rates skyrocketing were freaking slammed...so no rest for the wicked! April will be my best month ever so I’m not complaining! 3
Bijan Posted April 1, 2021 Posted April 1, 2021 I get the Friday off. Probably should've taken the Monday off too... Oh well something to look forward to next long weekend. 3

Meklown Posted April 1, 2021 Posted April 1, 2021 It's 5 days here in HK - including Tuesday. The traditional Chinese festival of "Qing Ming" (where one goes to their ancestor's graves to pay their respect) falls on the Sunday this year so we are getting the Tuesday off. If not for covid I would be flying somewhere tonight. 4

Raskol Posted April 1, 2021 Posted April 1, 2021 4 day weekend here.. would be in Brisbane if it wasn't for covid. 1
rckymtn22 Posted April 1, 2021 Posted April 1, 2021 I get a 4 day Easter break. Looking forward to it! 1

Guess I should ask for Friday off tomorrow, as things seem pretty calm right now. That’s bound to change now that I’ve said this...

The weekend looks to be nice weather-wise, so along with the ritual visiting, I will be enjoying some outdoor cigars. 1

April will be my best month ever so I’m not complaining! Wish rates going up was an April fools joke. I’m a few months out on refi for my self build home. In regards to the question, business is slammed and I’m building a house, so only taking Sunday off 1
BrightonCorgi Posted April 1, 2021 Posted April 1, 2021 No four day weekend for me. I have planned ceramic coating my wife's car on Sunday. I plan to have it washed, IronX treated & clayed Saturday afternoon, then do the polishing and ceramic coating on Sunday. She'll have to take an Uber to work on Monday as the coating takes a day or so to cure. First time applying such a coating to a car. 1
Squarehead Posted April 1, 2021 Posted April 1, 2021 The way things are going here in Ontario with the covid virus we will have the next 28 days off.Easter or not
GVan Posted April 1, 2021 Posted April 1, 2021 Absolutely - in preparation, yesterday I dry boxed (4) JL!'s, (4) JL2's, (4) Parti Shorts, (2) Punch sd Punch and (2) Lusitania's. Going to be a great weekend! 2
Greenhorn2 Posted April 1, 2021 Posted April 1, 2021 Working 4/10 hour days. Friday through Monday. Might make enough to buy a box of sticks!
