My First Family Day Off --
It was about this time 3 years back when just joined the company. Friday afternoon I was on the road back from Calgary to Edmonton on a business trip. I obviously did not check my email and assume the long weekend finally came and Monday would be a nice day off as the Family Day. In the Monday afternoon I by chance passed by my office. I was shocked - the parking lot was full and everyone was working.
What happened was that the administration sent out an email Friday at 3:00PM and informed everyone that we would work the Monday to match schdules of our other US corporate companies and would take another day off in August. I did not check my email Friday through the weekend.
That was my first Family Day off. Tuesday morning when I told everyone my first Family Day off, everyone was just laughing.
