NJIT is open on Presidents Day, but I am off

Since I joined NJIT in 1992 it has always been open on President's Day. The long term employees told me that NJIT used to give it off, but when Martin Luther King Day became a legal holiday, they gave that as a day off, but took away President's Day. Today the public transportation runs on a weekend schedule. Since I have to take 4 trains and a bus to get to work, it would take over 2 hours each way to travel. Thus for every year I use a vacation or personal day. I will be back tomorow.
