Bit shit, innit? Rest of the country seems to be on holiday.
Much better things you could be doing. Still, the pub beckons at midday!

I came in at 10, finish at 12, with a buffet laid on. I'm refusing to work, they get enough out of me the rest of the year.
In work from 2300 until 0700 tomorrow.
Tonight's workload will be
6 idiots phoning to see what time the local passport office opens. 3 people with nothing but alcohol in their veins who want to donate blood 2 people who want to buy some blood. 18 calls from members of staff phoning to say happy xmas 180 from members of staff phoning to annoy us. and 250 calls from mobile phones in pockets, the mkost intelligent of all conversations, and it's good to sit doing nothing, while appearing to be working, until their credit/battery expires.

What is the point?.. You are hardly gonna do anything in a couple of hours surely. And how much does a buffet cost?

What telly's on that's worth watching on Xmas Eve?! 101 Dalmations or some other Disney tosh?!
Got up Saturday morning and sat in catching up with Virgin Catch Up - Buzzcocks, Lead Balloon, Boosh. That's about all I can watch on the Beeb these days.

The trick is to see the number on the tv, type it into your phone for later use, then shove the unlocked phone into your trouser pocket in a club at 3am.....nature then takes care of itself.

everything thats been sky plussed recently!
Starting at 14:30.
Meant to finish at 11pm but my last train home is about 9pm so hopefully the Night shift guy is coming in at Seven or Eight so I can fuck off.
Then it's a case of finding a late night petrol station to start the crimbo shopping 
Watched the last Spooks on demand this morning.
Adam really is a total arse 
Harry had the best two lines of the series...
About us having more success against the Spanish and then the one about Scots being the most agressive Empire builders and some still being at it.

I need to save my holidays, I plan to take some time of in Jan. Then I have to wait until April :(
it's 9 i am supposed to be at work. so many people are gone i am actually "in charge". i have the offical letter of delegation.... sometime after i make it in i will go to lunch. it is important to make it home by 4 because the church is putting on a kid themed christmas service.
3.15 p.m every one else has cleared off,, so might get to slope soon.
i waiting for the sirens call
ah... er...
Santa Claus?
Rudolph??
Nah, got no work today and tomorrow.
Probably by New Year I have...
Indeed!
I was in til 1.30 today, absolutely pointless though. Never again, it was the longest morn of my life.
I'm off until 8th Jan now though so can't moan too much. Party time
Have a lovely time peeps
Usually I would be working at that time but since I'm unemployed right now, I'm "off". Generally I never mind working during Christmas because I'm atheist, but New Year's is truly dear to me - I once even quit my job just because they wanted me to work all night long during New Year's.
a light day today, only worked about 4 hours, and not very hard at that. Will probably make up for it with longer work days Wednesday through Friday though. Bastards!

So is it the unemployed that tend to venture into NOOL -or- is that NOOL is a direct cause to unemployment?

i was, i work as a courier, and i was dreading they would give me some job to some obscure place that not many people have heard of, i was sent on the turkey run with no sat nav or map, just a printed paper map which was kinda out of date. how i got back quicker than getting there, i do not know, perhaps i just used some common sense, lol
the point is that there was hardly any jobs going, so i thought shit, i should of taken the week off, lol

You are welcome to that white crap. It is one of the reasons I'm here and not in Germany.
Being in work today is proper shit.
Nish to look forward to and everyone's back into full-on work-mode. Boo!
Had Xmas Day and Boxing Day off,but managed to get off scot-free from being hammered on Christmas Eve.Our darling government decided not to pay out benefits in advance like Northern Ireland,but pay out Monday,Tuesday and Wednesday's money in four hours opening time.Dick-heads.
