I can't believe it, I am working over christmas. Everyone in my office is having christmas off except me. Someone has to stay and man the phone and respond tp crisis !!! Looks like it is me ....... that'll teach me for daydreaming in meetings when the boss is handing out annual leave ........
:cry
🤘
Much to the envy of most Australians but it will be my second Christmas (excluding childhood) that I will not be working - security, hospitaliaty, cleaning, couriering, etc etc.
I think it's a good thing that there will not be trading this boxing day. Our society is too busy and it shouldn't always be so commercial. I can understand why people would disagree with me but it always seem to be the people who don't want to be at work that have to cover those shifts.
Surely people can wait another day before rush in the department stores.

'Ah, whatever................'
the joys or working for Coles ... Xmas day, boxing day and new years day all off :party:party:party
the 2 public holidays after xmas im working ... 8-5 too early ... :thumb and the 2 days after new years :o
I work for myself but I have found in the past that if I work thru the Xmas brake I get so much done my hourly rate actually almost doubles as the phones not ringing and no reps coming in the office.
Though in reality I haven't had a holiday for 4 years this febuary when eveyone is back to work Ill take a week off with the family.
Merry Xmas Nige:party
