I know its not as drastic as Xmas eve, but it sucks all the same....... Were just about the onyl company open in our building :(

Well I got into work hung-over at 10:10 and I`m planning on leaving at 11! Got a 4 hor drive back home to Newcastle from Telford! :(

Merry Xmas

I`m in work until 12. Feel like s*** as it was our works Xmas party last night. All a bit of a blur... I am very fuzzy... Cant wait to go home, get back into bed and watch the season finale of Nip Tuck.

it really is not good this work on the 23rd lark. boooo

At work till 4pm on saturday.

Ho f***in ho.

All the best,

Dr 42%er.


It`s not easy being different. It`s not easy being cool....but somehow I manage....

You`ll probably find anyone in a service industry is working,as am I.
It`s more your manufacturing industries that close up early,whilst putting the service industries under pressure at the same time.

"can you come and collect this stuff,oh and we`re closing early"

When you hear that dozens of times in the same day,it becomes tiresome.... >:(

oh.. you poor lot...

I start at 6.00 tonight.. will finish at 1.00 am..

My Mrs starts at 8:00 tonight & finishes at 8:00 tomorrow AM. Then 8:00 Sat night till 8:00 Sun AM...Thanks very much to all the other the people on her shift who she covered for, swapped for, came in at short notice for & generally put herself out for etc, etc. She is the only one on her shift with a child & not one of them will swap over Xmas. BUT, ishe bitter? Not one bit as she keeps reminding me it`s the first time in 7 years she`s actually had Xmas day off so she will see littlun open his gifts, go to bed, get up at 12:00 & spend the rest of that day with us. I wish I could be as grateful as her.

I get so infuriated with a friend of mine at this time of year.
He works for a government department and finished at 1300 yesterday (yes,Thursday).
That`s them until the 4th of January.
On top of ridiculous holidays they get days off for every little thing,but they also get flexi-time as well.
It`s a friggin holiday cap that place. :/
Of course he thinks it`s great but,to me,it`s indicative of the over-staffing of goverment departments.
Seriously,if they can afford to have so many people off,so often,they have a problem and he should worry.

The only saving grace is he`s on s*** money.... :D :p

My old old man works for amtrak and this time of year is simultaniously a blessing and a curse. He`s working, sometimes, 18+ hour shifts.

And thankfully, now the mrs has moved from national ITV to Local she doesnt have to work christmas or new years day anymore, which is nice. I dont know about other people, but having your xmas dinner at 7 o`clock sucks balls.

Yeah, I miss working for the home office, in that respect. Flexi-time was the single greatest thing in the working world and the holidays were brilliant. But that, unfortunately, was countered by s*** pay, having to work for total ball bags and having to put up with whichever Sun influenced government directive they were pushing that week. But, yeah, the holidays were sweet.

Now I just work an average office based 9 - 5.30. At least you know where you are, but holidays are pretty hard to come by.
