Yup, working. Since Christmas fell on my normal day off, I do get an additional day off during the week, but not a _good_ day (Monday or Friday would be a GOOD day)… no, I get Thursday off. ☹ Yay. I think I’ll go see ‘We Bought a Zoo’ at the theater. ---

Here in South Korea, December 25 is the holiday. If it happens to fall on a weekend, well, that’s just tough. This year, Christmas was on a Sunday so today, December 26, is a regular weekday. ☹ ---

Just took a call from the station, both our nightsiders called in sick, can I come in normal time (2p)? THANK YOU JEBUS! I consider this my present from work this year. ---

Double time and a half for putting in a solid 8 hours today, and I’m not even union. I guess it’s a pretty good gig. ---

I’m working, but it’s pretty quiet. The only call so far was from “Obama for America,” so I guess they’re working too. ---

It’s another public holiday here today (Tuesday 27 Dec) to make up for the fact that Christmas Day fell on a Sunday. ---

I’m working today, but I work offshore on a 28 day schedule, holidays or no, so I’m atypical. 2 more days of work till i get to go home though! Yay!! ---

Well I worked and didn’t expect the trash to get picked up (Monday is my usual trash day, but they’re always a day late after the holidays) so I didn’t put the trash out. No mail, and banks are closed today so I expected the garbage guys to get the day off… They ran their normal route today. My trash is still sitting at the side of my house. ☹ ---

Yesterday at 1pm - rush hour - no. Instead I was granted the ‘everyone who was visiting friends and family to the South is heading home’ Northern Virginia I-95 traffic jams. Which is like rush hour, except with a lot more drivers from Jersey. Which compared to Virginia drivers may not be a bad thing. Forty miles of stop 'n go. ---

> [@Northern\_Piper](#): > > Same here! back to work tomorrow, then a 3 day weekend coming up, since January 1 falls on Sunday. Yep. I’m working four public holidays in the same pay fortnight. I’d like to think I’ll be rolling in it, but I suspect the tax man will take a huge slice. :mad: ---

Worked yesterday, actually got an extra 3.5 hours. I am down to part time, so if we had been closed yesterday, would have lost another day’s pay… ---

> [@Northern\_Piper](#): > > Same here! back to work tomorrow, then a 3 day weekend coming up, since January 1 falls on Sunday. I am at work today and the office is absolutely deserted. The absentee rate must be close to 90%. I just popped out a few minutes ago to get a few bargains at the post-Christmas sales - including wrapping paper for next year, which is always dirt cheap straight after Christmas. ---

I worked Monday (call center). But since it’s a corporate holiday, I got a floating holiday to compensate for having to work. So I took off a day last week, and it’ll all even out in the end. And no complaints, Monday was super-dead. I almost finished a super-long scarf, and probably would have finished it if I hadn’t gotten bored and gone on the internet instead. ---

> [@rachelellogram](#): > > I worked Monday (call center). But since it’s a corporate holiday, I got a floating holiday to compensate for having to work. So I took off a day last week, and it’ll all even out in the end… Me too. In my case I got 8 hours of holiday at my regular rate and the hours I worked yesterday wore all at time and a half. As near as I can tell my dept was the only one at our location working (other than security) and it was also dead.
