Who else is working on Good Friday?

Call center, open, but darn slow.

I like it.

Just a half day, going home in 30 minutes.

But here’s a fun fact: My office is the lower level of a bank’s building. On bank holidays the bank is closed, and the good bathrooms are supposed to be off-limits behind a security door. But they never actually lock the door. So sometimes I forget it’s a holiday and go to the good bathrooms. Then the cops show up. Good times.

Most ordinary staff, like me are in. But Management and Marketing are off, and Monday too. Ditto next week - the wedding on Friday and Bank Holiday Monday mean consecutive four-day weekends for office-type people in the UK.

Last year I was getting double pay for working Bank Holidays, so I didn’t mind. This year that’s been scrapped, so if I’m still here next year, I’m booking it off.

Working today, AND scheduled to work tomorrow as well - unless I end up taking off for personal reasons.

It doesn’t really bother me too much, but if Easter weekend were a paid holiday, I wouldn’t complain. Heck, if it were an UNPAID holiday, I still don’t think I’d complain too much. I like having days off.

Meals on Wheels very rarely take a weekday off, so I’m here at the Senior Center all by myself. I hope to get to leave before 1:00, but that’ll depend on how quickly my volunteer finishes his route.

I’m working tonite, but outside of restaurants, most everything around here (London, ON. is closed).

I was going to ask the same thing. Things are as bustling in my neck of the woods as any other day. Every business that’s normally open is open, and the streets are packed with dour-visaged worker drones, as usual.

I’m here at my desk. Two of my fellow team members took the day off, though. But you have to use PTO.

I’m working two of my [counts on fingers] five jobs today. Teaching all day, then singing a tenebrae service tonight.

I’m here but don’t have a blasted thing to do, so fortunately I have a book. My husband has the day off.

I work at a University, so no day off for us. It is pretty quiet around here, though. I lot of people took the day off. The parking lot at the train station this morning was abnormally emptier than usual. Most days you have to fight for a spot if you take a train later than 7:30 am.’

It’s not my fault I’m doury! (snerk!)

But seriously I’m in a fantastic mood today. I think I might color eggies this weekend. Yay for chocolate bunnies and hard-boiled eggs!

I notice more people being gone for Passover than for Good Friday. It didn’t even register that today was Good Friday. (That might be because it’s also my anniversary and because I begged off visiting my parents this weekend.)

Yay! Boss said yes! So I will be “working” tonight. I’ve been promised, statistically speaking, at least 2 traumas, Good Friday or no Good Friday. Apparently Friday night and Monday morning are THE shifts to be in the ER if you want to see some action! :smiley:

This. I work for a large international telecom. We must recognize and value the diversity of our workforce.
All religious holidays are gone, except for some odd reason Christmas but you’re allowed to work that day and take another day as vacation.

I’ve got the night shift tonight.

Working as normal today. Whee.
(Not that it means much, I’m working from home, in comfy sweats, curled up on the couch)

Most people have the day off here in Finland, but I had to go to work - on double pay, though. I’ll have Sunday and Monday off as my Easter vacation.

Normal work day here in corporate slave land

We got the official word, regular full day since it’s not a company recognized holiday. Ah well.
