Sounds like you have Civil Service Envy. As a beneficiary of having Dec 24th off by President Bush’s Executive Order, I’ll take any perk I can get. Other than this freebie I’ve always used my vacation time to take Christmas Eve off. If you feel like railing against public employees why not the Public School teachers? They have the whole week with pay (summers too!) EVERY YEAR
I’m not “railing” against anyone.
