As of today I'll have worked Christmas Eve, Christmas day, New Years Eve, and New Years day and most days in between. Then again I work retail so that's not that unusual. Anyone else?

Umm yeah I wasn't complaining. I actually agreed to work new years day when asked after working the others. I've done something similar for the past 3 years. Just wondering what others are doing. No crying going on here. Get extra pay anyway!!

I typically don't take a big vacation at the end of the year. I like to spread my vacation days out over the course of the year. My work schedule is "business as usual" through Thanksgiving/Christmas/New Years.

I'm an 8-5 office/salary monkey though. I remember when I was younger I pulled some crazy hours at the end of the year. I worked 36 hours straight once - that was a nice pay check. :)
