Is there a holiday I don't know about?


Columbus Day!


It's a US federal holiday.


D'oh. I forgot about Columbus Day. It's not a very important one on my calendar.

You will find answers here.

Not correct answers, no. But you can pick whichever one makes your brain itch the least.

Columbus may not have been the first person to "discover" the Americas, but he had the best publicist.

And he still lost out to Amerigo Vespucci on naming rights.

Usually the only people with Columbus Day off are actual government employees and those that work directly with the government (even many defense contractors don't normally get it off). My company works directly with the government so we mirror their holidays completely. Today I went to the Royal Gorge.

Edit: forgot to add, I was surprised Paizo took it off because they aren't directly working for the government... that we know of.


12 October is the national holyday here on Spain (same reasons, the discovery of America). First time I heard is holyday too on USA.

Actually, since Paizo is in Seattle, they're closed for Indegenous Peoples' Day.

Christmas Eve 1/2 day

If any of these holidays fall on Saturday or Sunday we do not take off Friday or Monday.
Construction workers are a hardy lot.

Paizo closes for all postal holidays, plus a couple extra (Friday after Thanksgiving and usually 2 days off for Christmas).

The only postal holiday employees do not receive off is Memorial Day as we are at PaizoCon.

(Technically we are not *in* Seattle, but yes, Indigenous People's Day):

Makes sense, well, either the postal holiday thing or the indigenous people day thing.

James' comment also... raises suspicions. ;)

Whew. I'm not the only person who was kinda confused by that!


But which James?


Pathfinder Roleplaying Game Superscriber

Oops, Jessica. I'm on my phone and my arms aren't long enough. I saw a J and just auto-completed.


Pathfinder Roleplaying Game Superscriber

Apologies, of course.

The major problem with time-travel is quite simply one of grammar...
