I am. It's okay though it's the norm for the industry I'm in. I have financial goals I want to meet so I suck it up. I saw a thread 3 days ago about who's working 3 days before Xmas. Lol.

Hardcore edition? I used to work on Christmas when I worked retail all the time.

I'm working. gogo internet services industry.

but I'm working from home and I'm going to take a 2 hour "lunch" break to go have brunch with my family in a bit (during which I'll be on-call for any emergencies, but other than 1 issue that I woke up to this morning, it's been quiet).

I like holidays that are more or less global... what kills me is working stuff like July 4th, where all the US offices are on a skeleton crew but our foreign clients still expect normal, weekday levels of service.

Not actually doing anything at this point, but I'm on standby in case I'm needed.

Haven't had to for at least 4 years. Last time was at my part-time job. Streets were deserted when I walked to work, and it was depressingly quiet throughout the day. Instead, I'm neffing at home.
