1. Depends. Do our corporate masters want us to be mindful or do they need
us to have the timecard punched in on time, without fail?

3. Not for me.
I work in televison. We have no holidays. Only days when (at the discretion of our bosses) we make overtime. The executives have the day off, but my bosses...really don't "work" in television.

6. Not for me.
Our company is open 24/7, including holidays. We're required to work 4 hours every holiday, but I'm working 6 today. Oh joy! :)

8. Yes - here in merry England too
I think that it was moved to today in the '70s to replace the old Whitmonday holiday.

I'm about to go into town to do a wee bit of shopping - as we all know holidays do not count for retailers.

10. Not for freelancers :)
I still don't have to get dressed, though. :P The small perks of being self-employed and working from home.
