Boxing Day off, this year

[jay]

In a memorandum dated December 9, 2003, the President has ordered
that all executive branch departments and agencies of the Federal
Government shall be closed and their employees excused from duty on
Friday, December 26, 2003, the day after Christmas Day.

Heh. I was taking a vacation day then anyway, driving to Florida from Atlanta. Most years we're excused a half-day early on Christmas Eve... I wonder if this is an election-year ploy by Bush.

It's a nice gesture... although you're right, there are actually some annoyed people with use-or-lose vacation who will be rejuggling their plans. I'm not one of them, I'll have drawn my leave totals down below 4 weeks (we can only carry over 4 weeks to the following year ;).
