Columbus Day - GRITS - 10-08-2004
I hear I am off on Monday for "Columbus Day"
Ok being a workaholic is probably why I don't know about all the "one day" holidays that seem to proliferate each year.....what is this one about? any ideas?

Most teachers don't get it off. They usually have a 'meeting' which I always wonder what they would talk about.
I don't exactly get Monday off. Everyone except my school's seniors have it off because we must present our graduation project :wacko:.
Oh and, what Fuzzy said :P, but I don't agree with 'found'(history books say he found it) as there were already people here.

^ Yeah, there were people here already (that we took advantage of), and he didn't find "america" on columbus day, he found some island in the carribean.
