Fuck. Nothing worse than going to work on a holiday long weekend with perfect weather and every second vehicle is an RV headed out camping. DEPRESSING!! By this time last year I already head two camping trips under my belt. Totally swamped with no end in sight...I wanna go camping!!!!

Same here... I get US holidays instead of Canadian ones... brutal not being able to go partying with everyone last night, and no one is going to go out on Sunday night. Should be a nice relaxing Monday though.

We're working hard this weekend; Re-shingling our roof. The drive home thursday afternoon was packed with campers and trailers.

Anybody who isn't working today and wants to be... I can hook you up!!

Working the holiday wouldn't be so bad if I didn't work 7 hours of a 12 hour shift on the stat, and not get a penny extra because the shift started yesterday. That really sucked.

I laugh at those people. "Hey, lets get out of the busy city, and go to an even busier campground!" :nut:

Whole weekend off for me, then flying to Florida for "work" on Monday :thumbsup:

Didn't have to start work till noon today but got scammed into helping a buddy move all morning.

I'm not complaining, I'm self employed so I prefer to take long weekends in between real long weekends to keep the crowds away when I go quadding/boating/cabin.

It's mind blowing how many people wanted to get quotes on projects on Canada Day though.
