Mister Al, thanks for the list.
After another round of proactive questions to the people in the know, I have a solid answer regarding our Labor Day days off.
"They" will let us know on April 25th. Hahahahaha
You gotta love it.
Cool

It's getting better here. When I first came 7 years ago I didn't like this working on Saturday and Sunday to make up days. I told my employer once I couldn't work on Saturday because I was Jewish. Then five months later I told the same employer I couldn't work on Sunday because I was Christian.


Great minds think alike. During '09-'10 academic year I was able to get Fridays off by claiming to be Muslim.

This is a no brainer. You get tomb sweeping day off after you die. But you must finish sweeping your tomb by Monday morning or you will be sent to Limbo which is a two hour train ride from Shanghai.

With my luck Limbo will mean an eternity in Wuxi. Please bury me with a good alarm clock so I don't have to ever go back there.

Don't worry amigo in Wuxi there is Ronnie's Australian bar and he will supply you with the necessary equipment for momifying yourself to survive the next five thousands years. You will have to play 10,000 games of eightball though.
