Mine is worse. I booked Tues-Thurs off. I only have internet in work at the moment. I'm going to miss reddit now and be without internet until I return to work on the 3rd of May. Stupid Sky and their stupid take forever switch overs.
It could be worse/better, you could have an Australian 5-day weekend.
Or a South African 11 day weekend. Easter, and then public holidays on 27 April and 1/2 May are combining this year to provide a massive holiday opportunity.
UK Universities give staff the Tuesday too, giving them a five day weekend. I took two days holiday next week and because of Easter and the Royal Wedding that gives me 11 days off straight.
To clarify, this Monday is ANZAC Day, a commemorative holiday for troops who fought for Australia. Because that's also Easter Monday, the ANZAC Day holiday is moved to Tuesday, despite commemorative services being held on Monday.
Actually the official line is that Easter Monday got moved to Tuesday.
Interesting. Thanks. What did the Catholic Church have to say about that? Is it that Easter Monday is still on Monday, but the holiday is on Tuesday?
Easter is the holiday, and it's on Sunday. I'm pretty sure the Pope doesn't care much what people do the day after Easter (or the day after that).
Ah, thanks. I misread the wikipage, and didn't realise.
Is it a 4-day holiday in Norway too?! Opera Support Forums have been sketchy for hours and if they won't come back until Tuesday, I'm SOL with my Opera problems.
5-day
Why do you get a 4 day weekend?
Easter, probably.
Easter
Royal Wedding
May Day
Whichever date Easter Sunday falls on, the Friday before it (Good Friday) and Monday after (Easter Monday) are both public holidays.
Getting the 26,27,28th off from work is just genius for a long break!
