Time off for Pesach

[magid]

Pesach starts Wednesday night, April 13. So the first two days are Thursday and Friday (3-day yom tov... not my favorite), and the last two days are Wednesday and Thursday. Those are all the days that are full chag, with work restrictions almost like Shabbat, days I always take off from work. There are four intermediate days, which are much less strict. And this year, two of them are weekend. And the Monday is Patriot's Day, which my office has to give off (due to the Boston Marathon ending a block from the building). Which leaves one day of chol ha-moed that I'd be working, but I think I'll take that Tuesday, and possibly even the Friday after chag, too, and try for a proper bit of vacation.
