Weekend/Monday schedule...

If you look closely at this announcement, you'll notice it isn't 'stuck' as a featured story would be -- it's just at the top because it was the newest thing posted. Generally, that's what I do for one-time announcements -- just post them at the top of the day's stories. If I'm gone for an extended period, though, I'll 'stick' the note, so that people who may not have read the site on day X don't come back and wonder what's going on. I've found that this works much better than trying to respond to a slew of emails wondering what's going on.

Finally, note that as a registered user, you have a very easy solution to your annoyance. Go into your Display Preferences page and check the Site News box in the "Excluded Items for genericuser," and you'll never see another one, ever.
