Re: POLL: It's Labor Day, Are You Working?
Uh, how would someone who's working be able to respond?

No, I am not working today, even though I hung a portrait for a good customer and replaced a security light for my mom.

Re: POLL: It's Labor Day, Are You Working?
Guilty as charged. Only days I really consider holidays are Christmas, Thanksgiving, and the 4th.

Re: POLL: It's Labor Day, Are You Working?
I planned on it. I got half way to the job and I realized I left what I needed in my garage. They weren't expecting me today so I said F it.

Re: POLL: It's Labor Day, Are You Working?
Did a "house call" @ noon for an old friend. Then back to the house/office to work on the week ahead. It must be nice to be self employed!

Re: POLL: It's Labor Day, Are You Working?
Working working, no, not really. Had to go to the shop and pick up my receipts and add them all up for quarterly taxes
 I should be working on a bid for an office, but, well, uhmmmm, I don't want too.

Re: POLL: It's Labor Day, Are You Working?
Sort of a mix between all three.
I always take labor day off. It's like a personal LAW for me. Got work lined up but it doesn't start until the 14th next Monday. So I guess it's party time

Re: POLL: It's Labor Day, Are You Working?
Yah better believe i worked today, most folks like to know that i am willing to work most holidays since sometimes its the only time they are around. Today i installed an 8K Guardian generator for an older fella who has cancer. The guy i had helping me part time this summer picked up a full time job but he had today off so he helped me out today. I go back tomorrow to install the battery that i forgot to pick up during the week. While i am there i have to give this guy an estimate for an underground service to his garage. He has the garage on its own meter so i think i have him talked into this service so he isnt wasting his money on another meter bill. I also picked up a small roof job while i was there too. I kept the trailer "rolling billboard" out next to the road where it could be seen for extra advertising.
