If there's a public holiday here today, I missed the memo! My company
gave us the day off on Friday for the Easter holiday. I'm not sure if
today is a federal holiday or not.

Thanks Chris, I guess that's answers my question!.

In fact, I know it's not a federal holiday because I saw a mail carrier
working earlier today.

Different companies have different policies.
Since Easter is always on Sunday, people usually have that day off anyway,
so many companies don't feel obligated to give an additional day off for
this holiday.

Typically speaking, today is not an "official" holiday. However each company
sets their own policy and it is very common that employees will take this
additional day for vacation.
Now, another common thing is for companies to schedule major system upgrades
during holidays when no-one will be around. When I was an IT guy, I went
like 5 years without a holiday off. Quite often the upgrades don't go as
planned and things aren't back online when they thought they would be. So it
is relatively common to find systems down right after a holiday.

Today is not a federal holiday. I know because I am a programmer analyst
for a county government and voila, I'm at work

When companies close for holidays doesn't mean they take their website
offline too. So it was probably a glitch (maybe with your ISP).
