I am not working this summer but I work for a state college so I would have gotten the day off.

[strateguy632]

I oppose the day and symbolic pandering... but i did get vacation so it was just a vacation. Even worse, it is biden the democrat who insisted on slavery and on no alcohol called Prohibition... and pretending to take credit for lincoln a republican! Whose party started as whites for right of blacks!

[Wiredone]

Yes I went to work yesterday. It was a regular day for me

[exitseven]

Your boss is a real ick-pray.

[Wiredone]

Yes he is. Sometimes I tell him where he can stick the job

[Beckybooboo]

Today is my normal day off but I did check the mail THREE times! I'm expecting a very important letter lol Finally, my neighbor told me there was no mail delivery today. Otherwise, yes, I do work on June 19th.

No work. And glad to have had the day off. I needed to recover from a little infection. Took 2 small naps, spent some time with my kids. It was nice.

The teaching racket is great. i am off for the whole summer.

[midnightmoon05]

And partially retired? 🍾
4 more days… but I do like my students. I have 2 new challenging kids… 2 months ago and one last week… but they are getting better. I just hope they get good teachers next year
I hope to get a good group this coming school year.
2 months off is too much for me. I don’t know what to do with my life… so I drag my kids and hubby to other places in the world.

[AI Opinion]

Whether you have to work on Juneteenth may depend on your workplace policy and location. In the United States, Juneteenth became a federal holiday in 2021, which typically means federal employees have the day off. However, whether private companies recognize it as a paid holiday can vary. You may check with your employer or HR department to know the policy specific to your workplace. In some organizations, it's observed as a holiday, while others may remain operational. Celebrating Juneteenth is a growing acknowledgment of its historical significance.

I don't even know what day that is. "Juneteenth" has no numbers in it, so you can't tell anything by the name. It's more like a slang term for a date, if you're not down and in, you wouldn't know.

[TrueConfection]

Ugh! I went out to run errands and was reminded we have a redundant “holiday” when I found locked doors on closed businesses. 😡

[mrkdvsn]

Yes. The "banking" building where I'm contracted at is the only one in my area that's working today

[mrkdvsn]

*Correction. I got to work and found out that my assigned account was closed for the day, so I'm back home again.

[exitseven]

I know that the banks around here were closed.

[DishLady]

Yeah, to enable those whose narrative is more directly impacted by Juneteenth to have the day off. Practical.

[OlderAndWiser]

Yes, this is a stupid holiday that we do not observe.

[Sunrising]

June 10th was a holiday for me, and I was flying to Paris on this day.

[AviatorTom]

No, I'm retired. I don't go to work on any day.

[Static_In_The_Attic]

Juneteenth is a paid holiday for me & yes I did have to work it as well.

[exitseven]

you work for the government?

[msc545]

I never have to go to work but I always choose to.

[dustybiker2]

Trump is a dick at every opportunity,

[dustybiker2]

He could get rid of presidents day. I mean most of them were not worth celebrating, the good ones have their own days.. and he surely will
Sacrifice that idea coming next. (Roars)

Biden got rid of Easter and made it some gay holiday/

[dustybiker2]

Mushrooms, again? Lay off them my friend.

Why the insecurities with gay people? Would you rather have the mob next door or a quiet friendly gay couple?

The author of a book series my kids love actually had the Russian mob living next door to her at the time. They were raided and experienced shoot-outs a number of times. Craziness.

[NathanDavis]

I work every day

[Geo1970]

It doesn’t matter it’s as and when.

[Jeff51]

I worked today. A regular shift.

[Simslover92]

Yep I did.

[Tom567456]

Yes.

[douride2]

Juneteenth?

[exitseven]

It is supposed to be the day when Texas found out slavery had been abolished.

[douride2]

Ah I see.

[Jamie05rhs]

Yes. (Ironically.)
