Who pretends that?

One of my co-workers' children have the day off today and she has to leave work early because of it.

I never got Columbus Day off when I was a kid.

Consider me outraged.

It should just be called, "Federal employees would have a fit if we yanked it" Day.

Our school district does NOT have the day off, the next one over does.

But we have more snow days due to the mountains than they do so maybe that's why.

A lot of Germans and some Irish.

I have no idea what that map says, but I'm going with Shawnee and Miami.

As well as Osage and Cherokee, depending on where you are in the Cincinnati area.

I'm a state employee and I would also have a fit.
