Members D/FW XJ'er Posted July 3, 2006 Author Members Share Posted July 3, 2006 Originally posted by TaronKeim I'm Canuckian... so I'm working today+tomorrow+the rest of the week. Our big celebration was on the 1st, but that was Saturday which is ALREADY my standard day off... which kinda sucks. Cool thing here though, is that you have to get paid for 12 statutory holidays a year, even if they are on your day off. So in otherwords, I think I made 8 hours worth of pay getting drunk on my day off:cry: But then it is right back to the grindstone. -TJK Getting paid to drink is great. I plan on doing that tomorrow from the time I wake up, until I pass out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is very cool... those were tears of joy in my post, haha.Great plan, around my parts everyone rents kegs, and when yours is empty, you just go for a walk and stop at the house with the cutest females and loudest music, wish everyone a happy Canada Day and they usually invite you over, especially if you bring a fresh 12 pack with ya.-TJK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members rhino bucket Posted July 3, 2006 Members Share Posted July 3, 2006 working today, off tomorrow. it's cool and all to celebrate independence day, but seems to me there is getting to be too damned many of the three or four day weekend holidays. having everybody take off at once makes it hard to get {censored} done when it needs to be done.

Don't ever speak like this again. There are NEVER enough 3-4 day weekends. EVER. What can't be done over a holiday weekend? There's always some mongloid willing to work at 7-11 so you can buy beer.

Jimbob, haha.No, I was actually being serious... I have a couple friends from Seattle and some from Nashville and it is a running joke with us about the American/Canadian thing. And I find it endearing and very human to joke like that, but so many other forms of it get taken out of context and mixed up with real hatred towards humans for whatever reason.I was just commenting that I found it nice and fun:thu: -TJK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
