Veterans Day Service Reductions

In my world, one of the annoyingly ironic things about Veterans Day is that it wasn’t a work day for me until I actually became a veteran, thanks to job changes and the like.

Although some people will feel a different kind of frustration because it’s harder for them to get to work, your commute shouldn’t be affected unless you ride the Sounder or your route travels near the UW.

So before you were a veteran, you got the day off, but now you are a veteran, you have to work?

John Jensen says:


I’m guessing folks in the military get the day off :)

Let me break it down:

Student: gets Veterans’ Day off
Military, sitting around on base: get Veterans’ Day off
Deployed Military: now technically a veteran, but most definitely working on Veterans’ Day.
New Civilian Employer: Working

In Seattle public schools we didn’t get veteran’s day off. I guess that’s why I was confused.

Or if you work at or need to go to the airport. The 194′s “less service, more people” on holidays is one of the many reasons I can’t wait for Link to open!
