Flyinfool Posted December 24, 2014 Share #1 Posted December 24, 2014 I am one of those that is spending Christmas Eve at work (surfing the web) while the rest of my family is eating and laughing and opening presents. But at least I was mean enough to not deliver my stuff ahead of time. All of those that are getting stuff from me will have to wait until I am there.

Prairiehammer Posted December 24, 2014 Share #2 Posted December 24, 2014 If you consider being a Peon at 'Retired.com' working, then I am working Christmas Eve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Motorcycle Mike Posted December 24, 2014 Share #3 Posted December 24, 2014 Working today and Christmas day too. You would think after 28 years on the job I'd have enough senority to get holidays off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MiCarl Posted December 24, 2014 Share #6 Posted December 24, 2014 I'm the boss so I can work or close up and spend the day with the in-laws (Christmas day with the in-laws is mandatory). I decided I had too much work to spend 2 days with the in-laws. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tufftom4 Posted December 24, 2014 Share #7 Posted December 24, 2014 I am a waste-water treatment plant operator and I find people never stop pooping or taking showers so I am at work now but I get lots of overtime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barrycuda Posted December 24, 2014 Share #8 Posted December 24, 2014 I spent all day at work today and will do so again tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uncledj Posted December 24, 2014 Share #9 Posted December 24, 2014 I've 3 days paid time off to use up, so I'm taking today, Friday and New years Eve off. I generally don't work holidays, nor do I get paid for them. And only one week vacation to boot, but I can't complain. I can take time off without pay whenever I want, (even on short notice) and make a decent buck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OrlinEngh Posted December 24, 2014 Share #10 Posted December 24, 2014 This is the first year in 5 years that I will get to spend the afternoon and evening at home, All I had to do this morning was take a ride in the truck and sand the hills and then home for the rest of the day.

Flyinfool Posted December 26, 2014 Author Share #20 Posted December 26, 2014 Well to all of you that are working holidays to provide essential services. I thank you. For all of US that are working holidays just because the boss is a jacka$$. You have my sympathy. For those of you that are working holidays just for the overtime pay, Congratulations, buy more toys.
