I own my own small business, therefore, your bank and federal worker holidays are pretty much meaningless to me. I take off July 4th (annual fishing trip), Thanksgiving and Christmas. Easter is on Sunday, so it doesn't count. All the others are fluff, and I'm not staying home when I can be making money. Besides, some of us need to work to pay for Obama's Porkulus package while he vacations after just starting this job. Must be nice. And guess who gets to pay for the jet fuel??????
Today was spent by working 12 hours, and I got a lot accomplished on a kitchen renovation. I also hired my neighbor for some part time work with me. He just lost his job last Friday, and I can use the help for awhile.
