happy...evacuation day

Per wikipedia,

March 17 in Suffolk County, Massachusetts is Evacuation Day, an official holiday commemorating the evacuation of the city of Boston by British forces during the American Revolutionary War. Evacuation Day is also observed in Cambridge, Massachusetts and Somerville, Massachusetts. Schools and government offices are closed. If March 17 falls on a weekend, schools and government offices are closed on the following Monday in observance. Coincidentally, it is the same day as St. Patrick's Day.

As I work at a community college in the state of Massachusetts (and all state employees get the same holidays), I am supposed to get this day off as well. I'm working though, and will take Opening Day off instead. (Go Sox!)
