Why not while? I'm a c++ programmer and from any programmers point of view there should be "while" because then the sentence has a logical/mathematical sense.

Because #2 (permalink) Tue Jun 14, 2005 18:27 pm   Because
 

You need the word because here as you want to give a reason why there is no work that day. You could also ask Why is there no work today? And the answer would be Because today is Sunday.
