No mail on Friday

My mom (a postal worker) just informed me that they all have the day off to celebrate (?) Reagan's death. Apparently the government is shutting down on that day. Reagan would want it that way.

1. Now the real question- is it a PAID day off?

Just wondering how much mourning really will be goin' on in some households if it's not...

[amandae]

2. I didn't ask but I would think that it would be ...

:shrug:

8. Yes, it's a federal holiday (just this year)

3. Just so you know. You can still file bankruptcy if you want.

It's now done online in my district.
It's how I'd honor Reagan, if I had to.

6. Good idea...

:evilgrin:

4. That is fucked up

I can't believe that. That is crap.

[MercutioATC]

9. It's a federal holiday...it happens whenever a President dies.

Dem or Repub, they all get a one-time federal holiday when they die.

10. Did this happen when Tricky Dick died?

I don't recall... or maybe it's because he resigned in disgrace. :shrug:

[MercutioATC]

11. Yep, I got a day off for that one, too :)

[flamingyouth]

12. I must have been out of it... I don't remember that at all

Or maybe I just didn't give a shit!:evilgrin:

[MercutioATC]

14. If you're not a federal employee, you might not have seen any difference.

I'm always looking for a free day off (though I want Carter to live forever).

[IronLionZion]

13. yes it did

federal holiday, flag at half mast,

they do it for every president even if he is a crook

[Ohio Dem]

5. Well, at least they're not all laid off.

You know, in Reagan's honor.

7. No...

that would be in shrub's honor!

Does anyone know if the banks will be closed too?
