It kinda sucks not being home for Christmas, however double time is nice :) Anyone else in my boat? 12 hour shift today, but get tomorrow off so my family is celebrating then.

P.S. Merry Christmas!

Have fun. I'm enjoying my nice warm house with some biscuits and gravy and playing with my new Blackberry.

I had to do a fairly important code update at 10 AM or so from home, worked until 6 PM last night and until 10 PM on the 23rd. I think I'm going to silence my BlackBerry now.

That doesnt sound like fun. My fun is waiting for me at home in the form of a heineken mini keg my brother in law and I named Kegbert.

:( for you

i did work on thanksgiving though. i wouldn't be too upset if something broke and they called me in - better than being unemployed.

I work for the government so every time I post from work, I'm wasting your precious tax dollars. How does that make you feel?

I'm on call in case something breaks. I may log on and do a little after-hours maintenance if I get too bored today though.

I'm not working and my boss even aranged for me to get home early yesterday (I normally work 12:30-9:00 so he switched me to 8:30-5:00). Though there is an outsourced help desk that is working to take our place. TBH I say just shut the whole thing. Today there are more important things then not being able to print, or Ms Word freezing. They can wait and call it in Monday. :/ But oh well, at least I'm not there. I *could* get called out though but the odds are slim, very slim.

Just got back from work 9-9. Back again tomorrow 9 - 9, and again on Saturday, and again on NYE.

Doing today sucked (as I was already rostered to do tomorrow and Saturday), but it was an emergency thing, because my colleague who was supposed to be doing it is off sick.

I work for the government as well, and almost done my 9-9 shift!! I can't wait for some turkey, ham and stuffing!
