I don't think I've ever had Columbus Day off, from school or work. In fact, I just checked, and my alma mater is open on Monday.
It was given out near the beginning of the year. It's for a one year study so if you had to get in then.
Not a holiday today, this weekend you know Friday, Saturday, Sunday. Always slow the week of a holiday. Banks are closed on Columbus Day.

*shrugs* Yesterday was excellent for me, Monday less so. Just gonna chug along with scraper and turkmaster going until I'm done for the day, play some games in the mean time while nothing's popping. Not exactly Christmas or anything. But usually the smaller Monday holidays only affect the Monday they're on and maybe that Tuesday, not so much entire weeks out and in.
Bet they don't do that here. We just moved from a decent sized city (600k+) to a town of 40k so a bit of a culture shock. My son isn't horrible but he is starting to get to the independent and want to walk all the time stage. Fits are becoming more regular too. He turns 2 in December so I know it only gets worse from here.

I'd say even the implication that something might be up is enough to affect someones decision making, but I could be a little overzealous in my editing suggestions.
