What's Good for Thee...

First, Federal Holidays total 11 per year. Not my fault that you work somewhere that you don't get them all off. You're seriously bitching about one day's difference?

The way that I see it, you've got three choices - a) get a job with a company (or government) that gives you all eleven days off b) lobby congress to rescind some of the holidays (yeah, right, like that would ever happen or c) get your company to give you all of the same holidays off with pay.

Honestly, taking away from another group just because your group isn't getting something is fascism.

(Something that will really drive you batshit crazy is that I also get 160 hours vacation a year. Even better is that the most boot recruit in the military gets 30 days of leave a year.)

I'll go one crazier, when I retired I was getting 208 hours...that's 26 days...a year. Plus 13 days of sick leave (of which I took very little)...different companies/organizations, different benefits. There's never going to be complete equality, nor should there be.

I was suggesting the number of paid days be capped at 10 and I was suggesting that because it is with taxpayer money they are being paid. I could care less how many "holidays" they want to declare.Dont be so snide, it is a sign of ignorance.

So who was being snide? Abby wasn't.
