OT Are you on Holiday.
In the UK Easter Monday is a Bank (official) holiday. Suddenly
wondered if everyone else was on holiday too or is the rest of the world at work. We also changed our clocks to Summertime (forward an hour) yesterday so I'm still half asleep trying to adjust - and why is there always one clock you forget - and its always something vital like hot water! -- Sally in Suffolk UK http://community.webshots.com/user/sallyswin |

Easter Monday is a regular work day here in the
USA. We don't have Bank Holidays anyhow. We have Federal Holidays though. We will turn the clocks ahead next weekend. You are right about missing at least one clock!

DD is off for school break this week. They call it spring break
though. Grade schoolers seem to have had last week off here in my neighborhood. DH works for the state of CA and doesn't get a Easter holiday. He does get Cesar Chavez day on Thursday though. (he was a farm worker union organizer, new holiday) If you all wonder why the state is in financial trouble..... Taria Sally Swindells wrote: In the UK Easter Monday is a Bank (official) holiday.

The grade schools have different breaks then middle/high school? That must
make planning family events difficult. Or maybe the kids had the standardized testing that week? My kids had half days a few weeks ago because of testing. They are in high school, having now reached "hairy legger" status! I now know, first hand, what Sarah was talking about when she referred to her twins this way!! My twins are now 16. Hard to believe. -- Teresa in Colorado http://home.comcast.net/~treesaquilts The Presser Foot in Longmont and Fort Collins, Colorado www.thepresserfoot.com - "Taria" wrote in message news:7cU1e.18956$Ax.10529@trnddc04...

I have a "snow day" today. We have the day off from school because we
didn't use any snow days this year. If we had used a day, we would have school today. We change the clocks next week, I think. Linda PATCHogue, NY (Suffolk County!)

This isn't a holiday in US but since many of the people my husband
works with are in the London office he knows work will be slow today. The wonders of the internet. He used to have to visit the offices around the world but he doesn't even go to New York City anymore. The news media makes it sound like business travel is down because of 911 or the economy. Really it is the use of internet and telephone conferences. Every Tuesday Dave has a conference call with other mathematicians all over the world. It is a tough time for some of them but they all know that it helps keep them on the same page in their work so they make the effort to be by a telephone at the right time. This message has gotten a bit off track from your original comment on the holiday. Sorry but your question reminded me of the changes in the international workplace.

It's a holiday down here. Always has been that I can remember.
Those in the eastern states changed their clocks back to real time this weekend. We in the West just stay on real time all the time, so it's no different. -- Leigh Harris Perth, Western Australia www.leighharris.info (Real email is bearleigh at bigpond dot com) Sally Swindells wrote: In the UK Easter Monday is a Bank (official) holiday.
