Show of hands.

 

I'm waiting for new posts to read because I'm so bored.

 

Merry Christmas!

I worked 12.5 hours night shift last night. I left at 6am this morning. I'm guessing that counts. I have 7 days off now.... with no one to hang out with.

I'm stuck on an oil rig out in the middle of nowhere Wyoming, about to start my 12 hour shift in a few hours here. I had to work last Christmas too, but I get all of February off and not a lot of 9-5 jobs will let you have entire months off. We're cooking up a nice Christmas dinner tonight though.

I go in at 11 tonight, but at least I get paid double!

This is the first year of my adult life that I have off during Thanksgiving, Xmas, New Year's, ect. I certainly sympathize with you, I worked on almost every holiday for the past 10 years.

Many people work Xmas, and many are not paid very well either. As one who used to nearly always travel, a special thanks to those who worked at gas stations today.

I worked. Can't shut a farm down for a day. That said, my employees are probably some of the few that actually fight to be able to get to work Christmas. Most are thousand of miles away from any family and they get paid double. So being in the holiday spirit I create an opportunity for those whose day off falls on Christmas to actually work. You probably don't see that much elsewhere.

 

My old man hasn't had a New Year's Day off in 30 some years, so I figure why start now? He fills in for me that day. I'll gladly work Christmas in order to get New Year's off.

I had a guy ask me once why farmers always complained about getting up so early, he asked me why they just didn't milk at 8AM and 5PM.

 

Yes, he was serious.
