Ripper 0 Report post Posted January 17, 2005 Okay, seriously. Either make it a holiday or don't but I am pissed. My job gives us the lil calender that shows the days off for the year and we see the holidays and all, but come to find out, although this is a holiday, WE AREN"T GONNA GET PAID FOR IT. That ain't a fucking holiday. That is missing a day of work. So of course you can chose to a: Use your floating holiday or b: not get paid. I of course made up a c: after my constant complaining and came in to work today with the other 4 people that didn't want to burn their floating holiday. Seriously, why is MLK day such a throw away holiday? Why not just give it a saturday or something and stop toying with the minds of workers. Fucking fake ass no having the day off as stupid ass "holiday". Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ripper 0 Report post Posted January 17, 2005 Stop bitching and be thankful that a black man earned us all a 3 day weekend. The bitching is because it didn't earn us all a 3 day weekend.

Spaceman Spiff 0 Report post Posted January 17, 2005 “Everybody can be great, because everybody can serve.” – Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. During his lifetime, Dr. King sought to forge the common ground on which people from all walks of life could join together to address important community issues. Working alongside individuals of all ages, races and backgrounds, Dr. King encouraged Americans to come together to strengthen communities, alleviate poverty, and acknowledge dignity and respect for all human beings. Service, he realized, was the great equalizer. On January 17, 2005, Americans across the country will celebrate the national holiday honoring the life and work of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. As they have since 1995, hundreds of thousands of Americans will remember Dr. King by participating in service projects in their communities. Together, they will honor King’s legacy of tolerance, peace, and equality by meeting community needs and making the holiday “A day ON, not a day OFF.” http://mlkday.org/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No. He was complaining becasue since it isn't a paid holiday, he decided to go into work so he could get paid. The holiday was optional. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thats because he can't let the man know that he has figured out the system. you should have taken his advice. Now you will just be broke. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kkktookmybabyaway 0 Report post Posted January 18, 2005 I thought you guys hate to work.(©kkktookmybabyaway) Not bad (however, that is a stereotype I associate more with Mexicans than with blacks). I'll give it 3.5 burning crosses out of five. However, this is what I was going to contribute to Ripper's rant about getting held down by the Man. If I ever own a business I'd give my workers 3/5ths of a day off for MLK day... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My school didn't close even when there were reports of a hurricane about to hit in like one or two days, whereas every other school in Miami had already closed. Amazing.
