Prophet's birthday
 
The gulf news looks to be calling 4th Feb as the day.

Hands up if you are getting Sunday off?

When a public holiday falls on a weekend my firm just adds a day to our holiday allowance. Which is nice, because you can then use it whenever you want to.

According to the womens forum, few people are getting a day off at all in AD , but Mr LW has been given Saturday, which was his Saturday off anyway.

Total pest Friday is dry from 5.30 to 6.30 on Saturday, so a very short Friday beer session for me, I'll have to be up early to make the most of it

New boss has decided that everything's played strictly as per the rules--so if a BH falls on a weekend, tough. We also used to have the arrangement where we could work BHs and add them to our leave--especially useful for us out here whose families are elsewhere: who the **** needs an extra holiday here if you're not with your family? That arrangement went to. So we're just waiting till so bigwig kicks it and there's a month's worth of BH. What goes around comes around.
