Who's working over the Xmas Period?

Yep.As always.

Am i fuck. off half of this week, then off to Ireland next week for family and other reasons...

I'm off Xmas night, Dr who special, is the only reason I'm taking it off. Mind you....I'm in Xmas eve, which is triple time from midnight til 7. Same again on NYE, when I am in. All goes in the laptop ( or, as I now call it, "portapenguin") fund for Jan.

God help anyone who's lost their passport over xmas, our main job is to try not to laugh :(

aye, aside from a half day weds to see bristol play bath

Yeah im always working.

not meeeeee!!

Actually I would be (and would rather--last year I got so much work done that week) but I have 3 days I need to take by the end of the year. Since we have 25th and 26th off... 27-29 fits nicely :)

i've got my usual one day off over the christmas and new year period the 27th.

I finish Friday lunchtime and go back on the 2nd. I've no holidays left either, until 1st April

I retire at lunchtime on Wednesday.

Retire???? You lucky lucky b*stard!

I'm grading a lot of cuntin' papers. But I do get a laugh out of putting "F for Fake" at the top of every plagarized "Citizen Kane" paper I find. Stupid undergrads. And apparently one of the Japanese students spells Orson Welles' name "Olson."

Two weeks off starting Friday.

Off from noon Friday through Tuesday, and then back to work on Wednesday and Friday. Off on Jan. 1.

Hoping for more snow.

Finish tomorrow lunchtime, back for a training day on the 3rd... Although I haven't actually done anything that could be called work for about a week now...

we have christmas - new year stand down. i don't even have to take any leave. :)

Even though we get all sorts of time off for the holidays, taking leave to ensure I don't get the last minute 24-hour duty post.

Working right through until new years eve :( Every single, fucking, day!

Post Office are shut XMAS DAY,BOXING DAY and NEW YEARS DAY.Whit-woo! Also I'm DJ-ing on Xmas Eve night,as a thankyou for letting me have Friday off for Mozzer!!!

Mordor continues to pound out steel,and break records,but without me over xmas...Sor-fuckin-ted!

Had to work last xmas,and it's highly likely my shift rota will dictate I'm working the next 4 in a row,which fucks me off,no end..(assuming the Steel Industry remains in the country,and/or I with it)

I love being off work as much as I possibly can.

Since Christmas means little to me (historically) I don't mind working during this perdiod and on the day itself, which I am actually doing.

working christmas day, boxing day and new years eve.

luckily i go on holidays for two weeks on new years day.

I really DO need to get a teaching job...then I'd be off for two weeks...

CRAP!!!

But Jeff, don't forget the downside - after the Christmas/New Year holiday you have to work for seven weeks before you get another holiday and that means until 3:00pm every day Mon to Thurs

self employed, so no option coz i wont get paid for it, unless i get a PAYE job, gosh i do look forward towards that, all is forgiven TOYS R US

No bloody holidays left (can't think why!) so stuck here this week, and next.

Still, least the roads and tubes were noticeably quieter this morning..

Hello Al, yep me too mate Xmas Eve, Boxing Day & New Years Day so know how you and the others working the Xmas period feel. Liked you're 'No bloody holidays left (can't think why!)' quote and will hopefully be spending next Xmas/NYE in Aus if I can save the £'s and NO don't tour/release anything new. Cheers!

Me!

:FFS:

But off the NY!

Finish Christmas Eve. Back on 27th to the joyous task of the corporation tax return. Yippee! Off New Years Eve/Day, back on the 2nd.

What is this "work" you speak of?????

A four letter word. Hence it's popularity around here.:)

Except for right on Christmas and New Years, when I'll probably be in Philadelphia drinking and making sure my friends don't get too drunk and pass out. But then again, last year on New Years eve, they drank all the alcohol we were bringing to a party on the bus and we had to buy more. I'll probably be needing to stay sober for them.

Finish my full time job on Friday evening and don't return till 3rd of January. I'm on the cabs on Saturdays 23rd and 30th though.

Off December 9th - Jan 18th.

And that's nearly 3 weeks of Jan off without using my new holiday allowance starting 01st Jan

:bounce:

You all hate me, don't you

The weather in Melbourne is shite if it's any consilation

I know what it is...got a day off to take though, but maybe I will take it on Jan. 12 if I'm going to Hooky's dj set the night before

He's been here so much he's developed a telepathic symbiosis with NOOL ( much as a timelord does with their TARDIS), he just imagines a smiley and it appears.

PS, go on Liam, list Dublins flaws please, I could do with a larf, and you could do with a weekend in Conlig for some perspective!

Dublins flaws:

The Smell The Airport The Prices The Beer The People

OK, I grant you the airport (in which all facilities only open for 25mins a day among other things) and the prices, it makes London seem reasonable. But what smell? And I find Dubliners (or rather the random non-dubliner population that most of us meet) OK, and I'm a fuckin NORDY! And the beer...THE BEER??????????? You need clinical help Liam.
