In the same vein as the Any other Americans at work today? thread for Thanksgiving, I’m wondering who else besides me is working this week.
On the up side, I no longer have to work overtime every day, and I do get the 25th off. And I’ll be getting paid to not work. The whole concept of paid holidays is still new and exciting to me.
Anybody else?
I get Wednesday off. That is all.
I’m working and no o/t. Of course, I’m in a land where xmas is still just a new marketing ploy and not yet in the official calendar/day off rotation.
3-11pm Christmas Eve
9-5pm Christmas Day
Unfortunately, casinos don’t close for the holidays.
Feel bad for me. 
I do get the 25th off. I’m getting overtime (basically because I’ve already worked more than 80 hours). It’s the end of the year for us, so I’ve got a stack of invoices that need to be entered.
On the plus side, SDMB, has no objections for me being at work and posting 
Oddly, I haven’t the faintest idea when my building is closed this week. I know I have off on Wednesday, but that’s it. Going to call the main departmental office and confirm now, heh.
From midnight until 8am Christmas day, then midnight until 8am on the 26th.
I don’t really mind though. I usually work the holidays…being single, I would rather see my coworkers who have families get the days off.
Yep. Working today and Friday…ugh.
I’m sorry for those of you who have to be here Xmas Eve and Xmas Day…
I my earlier career…I had to work Xmas Eve and it sucked (retail manager). Boy did that job suck.
Just today. inserts thumbs in ears, sticks out tongue and waggles fingers at everyone else in thread Nyah, nyah.
I have Wednesday off, but plan to not come back after my noon appointment tomorrow until Thursday morning. The wife is working the same days, so we’ve got THAT going for us.
I get the 25th and 26th off… Well, really, I only get the 25th off, but I’m taking a vacation day on the 26th.
I wouldn’t mind working this week one little bit, if my job weren’t ETERNAL TORMENT IN THE PITS OF HELL.
Yeah. Bummer.
Happy Holidays to you all. I hope all your holiday wishes come true!
I’ll be here all week, except for the 25th. Must keep billing.
I have Christmas Day off. I think. I’ll be checking the email from home though I’m sure.
In the office today and half a day tomorrow. Returning on the 2nd. This will be the least amount of leave I’ve taken at this time of year. I’m hoarding my days off so I can make more trips north to see my sweetie…
Ditto.
My father is an emergency room doctor, and you can’t just shut down an emergency room simply because it’s Christmas week. However, my brother’s birthday is Christmas Eve so he managed to get that one off, and some of the docs with less family often agree to work Christmas day so that other docs can spend it with their families. In order to get these two days off, however, my father had to work Thanksgiving and will be working New Year’s.

I’m curious, monica . . . how does your brother feel about having a birthday so close to Christmas (which is evidently a holiday celebrated by your family)? I have a friend whose birthday is TODAY, and it’s pretty much sucked for her. So much so, in fact, that when she and her husband were trying to conceive a child, they deliberately stopped trying for a couple of months in order to AVOID having a “Christmas baby”, because she didn’t want her kid to have to go through what she went through.
P.S. The kid’s due in March. [/hijack]
I only have Wednesday off. but this place is dead, so I’m not workin too hard. 
I am leaving town for the holidays tomorrow till Jan 1st.
That is, if my flight ever leaves. The weather tomorrow where I’m going (Louisville) is going to be this:
I’m working from home today (sorta), I took Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday off, and I’ll be in the office on Thursday. All time off comes from the PTO bank (even Xmas day) since I work at a hospital.
