Federal agencies are CLOSED as a result of the National Day of Mourning for President Ronald Reagan.

Well that would explain why most folks were pizzed. We had to work through it and the managing partner of the firm was a close associate of Reagans. The firm owed alot to Reagan. It's all coming back to me now... and oddly, the two admin. people that made it policy that we all had to all report to work, they took off, used it as a holiday time, and stood in line all day at the rotundra... I remember it now... folks were really ticked.

The Government is off on Christmas day and New Year's day. Because they both fell on a Sunday last year, the Federal holiday was moved so we all got Monday Dec. 26 and Monday Jan. 2 off. Only once do I recall getting an extra day off for Dec. 24 when President Bush granted it a few years back. I seem to recall that Christmas was on a Friday, and he gave us Thursday as well.

Who said anything about Christmas last year? Christmas this year fell on a Monday as does New Years Eve. Alot of folks get off on Christmas Eve so alot of folks got off on Tuesday as well, not to mention it was also the start of Kwanza and it was also Boxing Day. :shrug: (although I never said Christmas Eve was a Federal Holiday). You are correct, no arguing on Christmas Day and New Years Day being a Federal Holiday

The Fed doesn't get Christmas Eve or New Year's Eve off.

If I got the day off, I'd try to go to DC and do some photography

I never said Fed closes for Christmas Eve and I certainly never said they close for New Year's Eve. This is what I said "I don't think alot of places consider that a holiday so its still just the one day off (New Years Day)..." AGAIN, The Federal governement as far as I know of just closes for Christmas Day and New Years Day... I said alot of folks take off on Christmas Eve. Some places give you Christmas Eve off as a holiday and that's why some folks got off Monday and Tuesday this year. How in the hell you thought I said Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, New Years Eve and New Years Day are all Federal Holidays is freakn' beyond me.

Requires a Presidential Executive Order.
I went to the capital on our day of mourning for Reagan. I have tried to attach a picture that I took back then. Don't know if it did. First time trying.

Scratch that...

A military spokesman for the command overseeing funeral arrangements tells The Washington Post there will be no horse-drawn caisson or grand military parade down Constitution Avenue.

Army Colonel James Yonts says the family has requested that Ford's body be carried in a hearse. There will be motorcades to the Capitol on Saturday and to the National Cathedral for Tuesday's funeral service.

I really wanted to get some shots of the horse-drawn caisson

If you had taken more than two seconds to read the first post before honing in on mine to get your rocks off on, you would have assembled together what is "context clues" in the first post of the thread. I'll help dumb this down for you… around the word "Federal Government" and "Closed" there's the word Ford (NOT Christmas or New Years Eve). It was initially about being closed for Ford on Monday and then veered off course. It still does not explain how you idiotically misread that I said the Federal Government is closed on New Years Eve every year. Even if it was just a random thread about Federal Governement Closings I never said Fed Gov. is closed on New Year's Eve. Go strut your idiotic prowess and erroneous miinterpretations elsewhere.

Actually, it was about being closed as a day of mourning for Ford on Tuesday. It is true that baileydog was the first to start the moron-speak about about getting Tuesday off because New Years is on a Monday, but you (predictably) had to join in.

Good God, you finally read the first post and admitted you were wrong, and then still try to take a backhanded stab at me for talking to folks on this thread. As if that wasn't enough for your fragile ego, you then have the nerve to tell someone else they speak "moron speak" - you are belligerency at its finest. Happy Holidays!!

I love it when you ask someone "what time is it?" ... and they tell you how to build a watch. :shrug:

Yep - Christmas is OVER!
