Who has the day off today?
I know Easter Monday isn't considered a stat but a lot of companies bite the bullet and give the day off to their employees anyways, sadly mine is not included in that. Trains and traffic are pretty light today, so out of curiosity which of you are lucky to get today off and which of you working?!

Just to add, if you have today off, don't forget to post your HR Director's contact information too!

I would be surprised if a lot companies are giving today off. I could see a lot of people taking a vacation day today though.

I don't have today off, and didn't realize that many people did. That explains the lack of traffic/congestion on the way to and in downtown today.

I'm working, but the place is so dead that I might as well have the day off.

At work as usual. Lots of people took today off for an extended long weekend or the entire week off.

I'm working today. It would have been nice to have the day off to catch the Blue Jays season openers, but oh well that's what PVR is for. The commute was certainly pleasant this morning as it took me about half the time to get to work due to the lighter traffic. Lots of people in the office have used flex/vacation days to take extended long weekends it seems so today should be a quiet day.

Our office is open today as well. Although it is quite dead here, so I am assuming a lot of people took the day off to make it a four day weekend.
Side note, what is with people taking four day weekends? Wouldn't you rather 2 three-day weekends than just 1 four-day weekend? Just doesn't make sense to me. Is it just me?

The schools are closed today, so that's probably why a lot of parents are off. I am working from home and as you might note posting more on CP because I am working so much harder than usual!

Judging by dissentowner's avatar, he's implying that he's of the spider variety, and it is safe to then assume that he is, indeed, Spiderman.
Spiderman does not take days off.
Also, delivery my pizza, and don't crumple the box this time.

Alas, 'tis tax season, so no such luck. Some days I hate my boss and his draconian HR policies.
