I was just spacing out but I was staring at the calander at my desk. On August 5th, it says Civic Holiday (Can.)? What's up with that?

All civic owners in Canada get to go drag for the day instead of going to work.

Uh. I don't know what to say about that. But if that's true, that is amazing

LoL he's joking
it is a holiday but isn't a full holiday.
meaning not all people get the day off.
only some get it, and again only a part of those some get to take it with pay.
and if you work, it's not time and a half!
I'm not exactly sure why it's called civic holiday though.

Oh ok...I get it. It was weird. When I saw it I was clueless. That's sort of like Good Friday for me.

This may be off topic but my little brother has the scariest job ever. He works as a security guard for a hospital and when he's working they make him put all these random bodies in the morgue. Man, that would mess me up.

I don't know. He says that he's used to it. That's just weird :crazy: When I hear stuff like that, I really appreciate working for a bank!!!
