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.
<@Miagi> !8 Am I spamming?
<@ChanServ> Miagi: Yes.
<@Miagi> !8 Should I stop?
<@ChanServ> Miagi: Oh, please, PLEASE, make it stop!
