Seaweed Posted February 18, 2008 Report Share Posted February 18, 2008 Federal Worker in Ottawa here Lew... and yep I'm working today. Although the Good Lord might have other plans for me ... or at least for my morning. I went to hop in the truck this morning and low an behold there is a flat tire. I just checked pressures on Friday too when I got the oil changed on her. Go figure... oh well GM roadside assistance is on the way and will have it changed in no time. Everyone enjoy your day off...

taper Posted February 18, 2008 Report Share Posted February 18, 2008 I'm off today Lew, but I really think the government dropped the ball on this one. How do you call it Family day when a ton of people don't get it off, so families are not together. Still I'll take the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fisherman Posted February 18, 2008 Report Share Posted February 18, 2008 Don't think the Gov't droped the ball entirely, some onions don't have it written into their agreements, (suffer ya swines for a change) and are crying the blues, some companies have other options.

Riparian Posted February 18, 2008 Report Share Posted February 18, 2008 Im at work too. I dont think that its the provincial or federal governments fault that my company dosent recognize a provincial holiday. I really think every one in ontario should get it off just like the rest of the stat holidays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joey Posted February 18, 2008 Report Share Posted February 18, 2008 (edited) I'm at home, and enjoying every moment of it. I know my mailman has to work. He said they had signed a contract before Family Day was brought into place. Sucks being him as usually on some holidays I'm at work and the mail is not delivered and gov't offices are not open. Its nice for a change. On another note, I see the weather is following suit and being miserable for a long weekend, some things never change Joey Edited February 18, 2008 by Joey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccmtcanada Posted February 18, 2008 Report Share Posted February 18, 2008 I'm home today. Went to a local trib mouth with Bly at first light and drifted some pretty muddy, fast moving water, knowing I wasn't going to catch anything, but it was better than a day at the office!!! Tried for about an hour and then we went for breakfast at a local greasy spoon. Came home, did a hand print of my 5 year old in plaster, and I think later we're going to bake cookies together. Nothing else really planned, just spend the day together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest skeeter99 Posted February 18, 2008 Report Share Posted February 18, 2008 hey dont complain if you must know all the provinces except ontario and alberta had 14 holidays recognized most ontario and alberta employers gave 2 floater days **1 deversity and another of your choice** while the rest of the provinces had 15 recognized for quite a few years now now 'family day' has been created in ontario and alberta only the rest of canada is working today boys!!!! now we are even across the board 15 recognized days across canada mind most employers in ontario took away a floater day now you only get a diversity day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taper Posted February 18, 2008 Report Share Posted February 18, 2008 Yep skeeter at work we get the extra day on most of the long weekends through the summer making them 4 days off. When the new holiday was announced it was in our contract that because we already receive more than the mandated number of days we had to give up the Friday of May 24 weekend to get this one. Still a day off can never complain about that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mistyriver1 Posted February 18, 2008 Report Share Posted February 18, 2008 Yep, I'm off Lew. As Skeeter said, my work just deducted one of our floater days. I don't care, it's nice being off with the family. Kind of a lazy weekend had a fish fry last night and the 4 of us are going bowling in a few minutes.

jediangler Posted February 18, 2008 Report Share Posted February 18, 2008 I didn't get today off either, but I booked a vacation day to stay home with my 7yr old daughter. Too bad the wife has the day off or it would have been really enjoyable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

douG Posted February 18, 2008 Report Share Posted February 18, 2008 (edited) I made brunch for the girls and their boyfriends, pancakes with initials on them, bacon, strangled eggs and mimosas. Then we went bowling to find a 1 hour wait, so we did plan B, full contact Monopoly. Not pretty. Edited February 18, 2008 by douG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
