As a government employee (yea I am one of them) I get all the usual Federal Holidays but if one happens to fall on my day of work, I work. Don't usually ask for any holidays off, trying to se the example for my employees. But we do get a premium pay for working on a holiday. I go to work at 4 AM and other than that pretty much set my own hours. Other than that, the cell phone never gets turned off.

My weekends are Friday and Saturday so I do work a partial weekend. I enjoy having a Friday off, stores are less crowded it seems.

I am one of those wierd people that actually loves my job. It gives me a chance to use my formal education and help my employees with their problems (just wish they would grow up most of the time and stop worrying about what their co-workers are getting away with)
