I'm probably taking off though. I work across the street from the 2nd biggest mall in the country (King of Prussia), and on the other side is a Best Buy/Toys R Us. I don't want to be anywhere NEAR this place on black friday.

hey i live behind the mall, but I'll be at my parents in Harrisburg for BF

Day after. But I only need to reroute some cables and such. Maybe two hours.

Oh yea? I live not too far, just a few miles down S Gulph. I'm not so sure I want to be in this town at all on Friday, I'm going to my parents' house Thursday in Reading, I might just stay there...

I wish I could get Friday off... but I cant. Got too many other people that took Friday off, I gotta be here to cover.

I haven't had to work the Friday after thanksgiving since high school.

Unfortunately my wife is in retail and she will be at her store by 4am Friday and Saturday.

GO ME

Paid company holiday - I'm not working, but it is also annual review time, so I may work on my self-assessment and peer reviews sometime over the long weekend so i can get some OT out of it.

 

[Sinsear]

Yep

 

[ballmode]

Everybody who does, lost in life.

office is open, but I ended up with the day off due to some extra hours worked.

I don't know if there is any sales worth going to yet though.

 

[maddogchen]

i volunteered, i dont' mind. it'll be a nice, peaceful, slow day. Make money, save me from black friday sales, all good.

first 4 day weekend of the year for me.

w00t x infinity

it's gonna be 7 hours of halo come 11/24/07 (or maybe 7 hours of rock band)

 

[jlee]

I'm a nurse/emt/firefighter/etc and we're needed 24/7/365

^ Etc. I should be off on Christmas, though.

 

[mattpegher]

Working thanksgivings, friday, saturday and sunday. I also have to work Xmas day this year. Thats the ER, 24/7/365 and they're 12 hour shifts. Get time and a half for the actural holliday but its not really worth it. Make it double time then maybe.

 

[slsmnaz]

working Friday but I have a lot of testing to finish. Office should be good and quiet (plus no meetings)

 

[MaxDepth]

First time in 15 years I do not either a) have to work that day or b) have to work longer hours earlier in the week because the site is closed and I don't get paid for it.

Bout damn time.

 

[Marinski]

I can work if I want to. I think I will since I need the extra money. Good thing is I get to come in late though.

Staties around here get like 10 holidays ... and I think 3-4 weeks off depending on years of service.

My old lady has over 700 hours of accrued PTO ... insane ...

:|

 

[zixxer]

The last place I work I had awesome vacation days - 12-14 days off a year (even small holidays we were closed half of the week) AND dec24th-jan2nd off... With 6 years of service I had 25 vacation days on top of that.


The new job is pretty sparse with company paid holidays... but I start out with 15 vacation days.

My previous jobs, we just had it off ...

Last year, I got to put in some extra hours in the weeks before and just take it without docking personal time. Which was cool 'cause I actually put in the extra time --- everybody wins ... they also said you could use sick/personal time if you didn't want to dip into vacation ...

This year we have to use vacation time ... which is sparse anyways ...

*shrug* ... my brother is coming to town, so I'll take the day off no matter what. Family > * ... but I'm miffed about it ...

If they bill me out, and I put an extra 8 in ... no blood no foul ... @@

Just take a sick day at a later date when you would have taken vacation.

I work that day, service industry never sleeps.
