OK time to bring the car in for service, followed by my physical examination. Gotta make the most of these forced days off.
The official holidays for 2018 at United Nations Headquarters have been designated as follows:
1 January      New Year’s Day
30 March       Good Friday
28 May          Memorial Day
15 June         Eid al-Fitr
4 July            Independence Day
21 August      Eid al-Adha
3 September  Labour Day
22 November Thanksgiving Day
25 December  Christmas Day

No Jewish holiday celebrations on the UN calendar?  And the US holiday is called "Labor" day.  Sheesh, commies.
I use to get 13 holidays, 5 were 'floaters', we worked the day and got 8 hours to burn, earned 6 hours of vaction leave every two weeks up to 1400 hours, 4 hours of sick leave every two weeks up to 1300 hours that if you held on to it went towards your health insurance, and 40 hours of personal leave on your employment anniversary. Like, how do you get any work done when you're never working?
Sure sounds like a government operation to me.
for 30 years, and paid off for retirement.

It's a good gig if you can get it, no doubt.

Ancient Chinese curse (NOT proverb) " may you live in interesting times"  seems appropriate somehow.
I wouldn't really this a curse.
oh, I don't know, i've found over the years that Interesting and Special can be ... misleading.
