Are you off of work/school for 4th of July?

[DizzyDesii]

My job told us we can either take the day off and not get paid or we can volunteer to work. Lmao fck i look like? I’m dedicating that day to BBQ, baked beans, casinos, and fireworks at the beach. Them hoes won’t see me!!!
😂🎆🥳

#FeelFreeToList #ImmatureMoment

[Adronicus]

Yeah. I won't be out watching the fireworks, I'll probably BBQ & read a good book. Friends were talking about taking a pontoon boat out on the lake but I'm the only single one in my circle. I got to take my mom to a Dr. appointment tomorrow, there's this 9/10 nurse who was rubbing my arm in front of my mom while taking her BP last appointment. Think I'll ask her if she wants to go if she's there that day:) I know she REALLY likes me, even has that drunk dreamy look on her face in front of her colleagues, she just can't help herself I guess & who can blame her?

(I won't apologize for being ornery AF) :p

[DizzyDesii]

Lmao not the drunk dreamy look 😂

[Adronicus]

But it's soon cute. in my opinion anyway. Much better than mind games.

[DizzyDesii]

It really is

[Sparkie460]

Where I live the 4th is a paid holiday. If you work it's time and a half pay. I'm closed for the day unless I get an emergency service call but they're going to pay extra for me to come out.

[DizzyDesii]

Yea even my last job paid

[Sparkie460]

Are they paying time and a half if you work the holiday?

[DizzyDesii]

Nope regular ass hours. This job shows they dont wanna pay

[Sparkie460]

I'd check with your department of labor laws. It might be mandatory to pay for holidays and extra pay if you work. If they're breaking the law, report them

[DizzyDesii]

My last job was federal and broke osha laws like fck. Its pointless to report lol

[Sparkie460]

Does this job pay for any holidays

[Sparkie460]

If you reported your last job for Osha violations they would get on their backs. Osha is for the safety of the workforce. I've delt with them a few times.

[DizzyDesii]

I really dont know. They dont tell us shit. Our supervisor ghosted us days ago ans no one will tell us if he's even still alive lmao

[Sparkie460]

They should have given you an employee handbook explaining all the rules, regulations and benefits

[DizzyDesii]

people read those 🤨

[Sparkie460]

Hahaha. Yeah, I used to when I started a new job. I didn't want to ask a question that was answered by looking in the handbook.

[Sparkie460]

I bet if you looked in there it would tell you what holidays they pay you for, if any. If they don't pay you, you can send it to the department of labor and get them in trouble

[Sparkie460]

Thanks for the mho

[Gochogirl]

Me and my partners are all different versions of self employed so we got as many days off as we want forever haha

[DizzyDesii]

Thats amazing

[Gochogirl]

Aw thanks!

[melanieeeB]

Enjoy the day! BBQ sounds fun

And we don't celebrate 4th of July

[DizzyDesii]

Oh yea lol

[matchrestore]

It's a paid holiday where I work, and I'm taking a few days of PTO around it to extend the holiday and take a vacation

[DizzyDesii]

Luckyyy

[Faith18letsgo]

That's fucked up. My work definitely gives us the day off.

[DizzyDesii]

Yea my old job did too

[OldSchool_Metalhead]

Nope. It's set in my schedule that I gotta work the 4th 😑

[DizzyDesii]

Damn

[RobT312]

always OFF!
tends to mark the beginning of summer vacations for me

[DizzyDesii]

Haha

[RobT312]

BBQ and fireworks i agree!

[Phoenix98]

I have it off but there’s a chance I’ll be called in to go to our Stafford location close to an hour away to unload rye for 8-13+ hours.

[DizzyDesii]

Man i hope not. You deserve a day off

[Phoenix98]

Yeah we'll see.

[spartan55]

I took half a day this Friday and Tuesday the 5th... nice mini vacation.

[DizzyDesii]

Very nice

[ShadezMcgee]

Off fortunately, but my birthday I am scheduled to work both jobs Friday afterwards.

[DizzyDesii]

Aww well happy early bday

[ShadezMcgee]

Appreciate it, Dizzy. Dirty 30 is next Friday, but living the last of the days in my 20s as fun as I can

[Sour-rose]

Well it will be the day before I actually get to work for me :)

[DizzyDesii]

Haha

[kellytheman]

I have to work 3 12 hours shifts Saturday Sunday and Monday so I can't really join in any 4th July festivities but I guess I get some good overtime and holiday pay.

[DizzyDesii]

Oh heeeck nawl

[exitseven]

No, I celebrate
independence Day by not going to work.

[DizzyDesii]

Same

[Chazmatazz269]

Been off work for weeks. 😭😭😭😭
Can’t wait to blow some shit up!!

[AimeeKyle]

Yes, I have it off and will relax and enjoy the day. Maybe barbecue something and watch some fireworks.

[Loveisgirthy]

Fireworks at the beach? Das niiice. We have to stand behind some barn or something.

[DizzyDesii]

Lol why

[Loveisgirthy]

I mean it's usually in the Walmart parking lot now actually lol but still it's trash compared to the beach

[DizzyDesii]

It used to be our mall parkin lot when i was a kid

[Loveisgirthy]

So which is better? Beach or a parking lot?

[DizzyDesii]

Parkin lot honestly

[Loveisgirthy]

There's a few scenerios I could enjoy the parking lot experience in lol I see the possibility. My favorite place would be this one area where a bunch of real pretty lake houses are, circling around this part of the lake where the main road also is. Makes a Disney movie setting for fireworks, like Erendale or somethin. Haven't seen it myself but saw where it is. 👌

[DizzyDesii]

Omg there's a neighborhood near me where all the rich house surround the lake but a lot of the time the gates are left open so some of anyone tends to sneak through to either site see or go to the lake. Its just like what you're describing!!

[Loveisgirthy]

Yeah sounds about right, I think the one I talked about had a small bridge that opened and closed too. It's a beautiful scene for sure.

[DizzyDesii]

Oh yes i dont know if this one does but people do sail on it

[Valso]

No. The only American holiday we celebrate (and not all of us do - I don't) is Halloween.

[DizzyDesii]

Ahh okay

[loveslongnails]

Yes, I'll be in a golf cart parade on my island. LOL

[DizzyDesii]

Omg nice

[loveslongnails]

Yes, people line the streets and the cart riders throw candy and stuff at the kids. I'm going to throw freeze pops because it's stinking hot !!

[DizzyDesii]

Lmao the long ones thats still liquid and not solid right? Lol

[loveslongnails]

Well they'll be frozen so it's an ice pop, but they start out as liquid.

[DizzyDesii]

Yea ik but my point was thats gonna hurt if u throw it 😂

[loveslongnails]

LOL we don't throw it AT the kids... we throw them on the ground near them as we slowly ride by.

[DizzyDesii]

Ohhh 🤣🤣🤣

[Deku2009]

Yeah I always have 4th of July off (always take that day off along with my birthday July 3rd)

[DizzyDesii]

Happy early bday

[RuthlessAggression]

ill have the 4th off, and the 5th off, but then it's back to work on the 6th

[DizzyDesii]

You get an extra day 🥺

[RuthlessAggression]

I don't work tuesdays, in general

[DizzyDesii]

Frickin lucky! But i hated havin Tuesdays off. It was weird to be off Sun then work Mon then be off again. Ideally I’d be off Wednesday/Sat or Fri/Sat/Sun

[RuthlessAggression]

Eh, I like having a day off in the middle of the week. I only work 4 days a week, so Tuesday is the middle for me

[DizzyDesii]

Oh that makes sense then

[bigpauly]

I’m off. I’ve never been big into the holiday but I will appreciate the day off

[DizzyDesii]

Yea ion care about it being a holiday, i just wanna be off

[lpoots]

only time have 4th July off if it falls on a weekend

[DizzyDesii]

Oh wow

[lpoots]

not into patriotic bollocks

[ALewis30]

No. I had to work early that morning. But I get off work early at 2pm.

[DizzyDesii]

Damn
