> Monday off makes a lot of sense, as "observed" holidays (ones that fall on a weekend but are given a by-convention weekday off, by some businesses and, usually, schools) are often Mondays. And this is why this year I chose Friday as my day off. edit: @yamtaddle: to be clear, I am on a 4-day workweek and I am paid for 4 days. I have to be really disciplined in shutting off work computer on Thursday (still working on that). No children for the moment, but it's clear to me I would choose a Monday off if that was the case. Totally agree for more time off for parents and children.
