each year we have threas from people who were unable to gettime off for eid because of the whole hulla gulla regarding eid dates and mon sightings.
Last year someone made a simple but excellent suggestion, take 2-3 days off, if you do it early enough u can try to not hve any critical meetigs around then, and even tell the boss that u will be out on of those 2-3 days but you will not know until its closer (or u can just take all the days off if you have the days available)
Just thought as we are getting close to ramadan to bring it up again and just tell ppl to prepare early.
to the guppie who came up with the suggestion, thank u, but i cant remember who u were and I cant find your original post. but thank you.
oct 11 and 12 take off by taking 2 personal days off.
13, 14 is weekend.
Eid-al-fitr can't be before or beyond this, in this year.
honestly, individual people should begin to sight the cresent themselves and not listen to or follow the multiple dates of arab, sunni, shia, middle east, pakistan or any other place's eid-fitr days.

That's a good idea - it can work in some areas of work.
I'll probably still be working on those days, though. For me, it ends up being more of a hassle to miss days than to not miss. You still have to do the same work, just cram it in on some other day.
Only hav class two days a week but will take two classes off , fortunately no exams or assignments are scheduled. I think its pretty sad when ppl voluntarily go to work/school on Eid, you'll never see christians/jews doing anything on Christmas, so why shouldn't we take days off

But they dont pay you well dush :) it better to live on dole rather to work for a desi employer .
And it was just a jest :) U know why we are just a backward nation ? we dont laugh on our mistakes and bad things . Every matter is a matter of pride and honor for us .
Where one should just nod and laugh , we start fighting and killing :)
Its a beautiful world out there dush . We should enjoy it some time !
i agree that humor is necessary. i do believe in laughing, too.

it depends which classes Im having that day - depending on that might take a day off - but since no family around better off to school n study (not really).
