 |
|
The 1st is a Thursday and the 2nd a Friday.
What days do you get off work? Doesn't seem consistent based on what some tell me.
Looks like I get only the 2nd off. |

FWIW, the SEP has only Friday, Nov. 2 as a holiday, and the UNAM and UAM have both Thursday & Friday off.
We can veer this thread into "What's in your ofrenda?" if anyone's interested. |

| I have Friday off but have to work Saturday, as usual, so it isn't a long weekend. |

The way it works, AFAIK, is that on the one hand there are some obligatory statutory holidays that are always days-off, but then there are also a few extra holiday days that can be used in 2 ways: (1)Distributed among the "cultural" holidays like Muertos, D�a de Guadalupe or Reyes in a discretionary manner. Which of those cultural holidays are designated official holidays in any given year seems to depend on whether they fall on Monday and Friday (so as to produce a puente) or nearer the middle of the week. (2) Used to make puentes when an official holiday falls on a Tuesday or Thursday.
But don't you get Revolution Day (Mon, Nov. 19) off? That one is an official holiday. |

It would appear that yes, I do get this day off! Whoo-hoo holiday!  |

| Originally, UDLA in Puebla only had Thursday and Friday off but for some strange reason classes for the WHOLE WEEK have been canceled. It's a mystery no one seems to be able to decipher....but I'm not complaining!! |
