Long Weekend

[elusivek]

I didn't even know I'd get an even longer weekend this week. I have my usual Friday off today, and apparently tomorrow (Saturday) is a government mandated public holiday, the "Chung Yeung Festival"... think of it like a Chinese All-Soul's Day in Autumn (coz there's Chinese All-Soul's Day in Spring)... and since it's a government mandated holiday, we get the "compensation holiday" on Monday. Originally, I could have kept the day and chosen to any day off within the next 180 days, but the office decided that "Since nobody else would be working on Monday anyway, doesn't make sense for you to come back and not be able to do anything."

I disagree on that point as I can very well clear out the backlog of stuff I have to do, but well, I'm the newbie in the office, guess I should follow the group.
