Parade. In 2018 the parade was the Thursday after the Super Bowl.

It’s potentially the 16th, maybe the rain you’re referring to is the rain predicted the 9th? L

The 15th*** 2018 parade was originally planned for the Wednesday after the Super Bowl and then was delayed due to rain to Thursday.

I'm on a small team of about 7 and a few of us are in Philly, while our PM is a cowboys fan (from and lives in Dallas). He likes to plan ahead and polls us for any upcoming PTO for the next quarter, so early December he's asking for that and I mention the possibility of needing the Monday after SB off, as well as the Wednesday or Thursday that follows, depending on weather, in case the Birds win it all. He said to me, "I've never had to plan around winning the Superbowl before", with a little shimmer of a tear in his eye. I almost felt bad for him for a second there. GO BIRDS!

I feel lucky. I work from home, so I don't have to burn any pto.

You are lucky! I also work from home, and could not get away with not working for an extended period of time w.o using PTO.

I really don't understand why the day after the Superbowl isn't a holiday. Either that or move the Superbowl to Saturday.

I mean, I went to Catholic school so the day after Halloween was always a holiday for the first 17 years of my life lmao

SIL is a Catholic teacher and says they did away with the holiday now.

Tbh we should have more holidays. Countries in Europe give way more time off for their citizens, Americans deserve more time off.

not just europe most of the world. the united states is one of the very few places in the world where there’s no mandatory paid vacation for employees

I remember for the last win (and the ensuing party on Broad) feeling like I wouldn't be able to bike to work the next day. Thought it would just be broken bottles and shit everywhere. Boy was I wrong. Never seen the place so clean that morning. I'm sure somewhere on YouTube is the time lapse of the party and then the streets crew making it look like nothing happened.

Does SDP cancel school?

goavsgo1988 t1_j6lcqum wrote

Most definitely. Or it will be a “virtual” day (that nobody has to log on for and won’t need to be made up at the end of the year)

CinematicHeart t1_j6luyra wrote

My kids school just announced they have it off. I was surprised. I wasn't back yet for the last superbowl so this will be interesting.

lucasj t1_j6mrtk3 wrote

They did in 2017. In 2008 only schools along the parade route were canceled. The X factor is the superintendent is new this year, but IMO that makes it more likely they’d cancel (based on his public personality).

I only get 10 PTO days for the whole year…..sucks

allid33 t1_j6mwjuz wrote

I started getting ahead of myself and pondering what day a Phillies parade might have fallen on in early November after they went up 2-1. But here I am doing it again. Then again, every year I always mentally pencil in a hypothetical February PTO day for a hypothetical parade.

Probably WFH on the 13th (no matter the outcome) and PTO for hypo parade day.

Just moved here this year. Live in Fishtown and commute over the Franklin every morning. Should I plan on taking the day of the parade off as well or will I be good?

Go birbs.

wiredbeatbox t1_j6mrivz wrote

The parade day is the more important day to take off since that's going to be an all day event, 100% take that day off (likely Wednesday, unless weather delays it like last time).

I don’t think the route goes that way, but it might be safer to take the Betsy Ross into NJ, for a slightly longer commute, but an almost guarantee of no parade issues/traffic.

Just started as scrum master for a small SW team at the beginning of the year and we're supposed to do Sprint Planning that day... needless to say it's been moved.

I might actually use PTO, so I don’t have to go into the office. I’m at 15th and Market!

I put my request in early November 2022.

Birds or not, it was always a party the night before.

...and that's how you Super Ball.
