Happy Nevada Day! Hopefully you are enjoying a day off to celebrate our great state with friends and family. Here are some links if you’re stuck at work–and if you are stuck at work, why? What firm hasn’t come around to the idea of Nevada Day yet? Oh, and here’s your friendly reminder that our clocks “fall back” one hour this weekend!

- Critics say this court program targeted the homeless. Here’s why Strip casinos want it back. [RJ]

The feds do not recognize Nevada day, so instead of the treat of having a vacation day we (or many of us) get the trick of working but not getting paid anytime soon. Boo.
The feds get Indigenous Peoples Day
I get both! And, for the record, Christopher Columbus was a brave Italian explorer. And on this blog, he’s a hero. END OF STORY!
I’ll tell you what it is, it’s anti-Italian discrimination.
Italian-American here. I’m not exactly proud of Christopher Columbus (who may in fact have been Spanish after all). Give me Enrico Fermi, Joe Di Maggio, Geraldine Ferraro, Lee Iacocca, or Francesca Cabrini any day over Columbus.
OH! How about a little respect here for some true Italian American heroes like Silvio Dante, Paulie Walnuts, and Chrissy Moltisanti? And Tony Blundetto… whatever happened there?
No.
Yes: Frank Sinatra, Tony Bennett, Madonna, Lady Gaga, Ariana Grande, Francis Ford Coppola, and Martin Scorsese
If they say John Gotti, you tell them Rudolph Giuliani.
I think you missed the joke paesano.
It wasn’t funny. Paesana.
Sharp as a fucking cue ball, this one.
You missed the reference, bruh
I still work, but if I’m not in the mood to return a phone call or answer an email, I don’t have to, “because it’s Nevada Day.”
Let’s get rid of the BS of changing the clocks twice a year. As I sit in my office at my computer, I see three battery-powered clocks that I will have to manually adjust on Sunday. Just so that it gets dark at 5:00 p.m. instead of a 6:00 p.m., putting more people at risk of being hit in auto-pedestrian accidents. What’s the point/purpose?
why do you have battery powered clocks
At least you won’t have to till the fields in the dark.
The farmers don’t give one lick about what the clock says. They work when it’s light out.
It went from a minor annoyance to a full-blown crisis when I had a baby. He doesn’t understand that we get up an hour later now.
Babies, children too young to understand daylight saving time, animals, etc. Does anyone actually like the twice-a-year switcheroo?
Love it in the Fall; hate it in the Spring.
@3:56pm Daylight savings time is a ploy by billboard attorneys to drum up auto-pedestrian accidents.
