So I'm stuck working today on Christmas Eve for 12hrs and I gotta turn around and come in tomorrow morning at 6am to work another 13. Holy shit. When I agreed to come in for a coworker over the holidays because of family issues I didn't think I'd be doing this. *sigh* Irritating. So it looks like we gotta do everything tonight 'cause I won't be around tomorrow morning....of course that does mean that I won't have to see my girlfriend's brother, so that's a positive.
Anyone else out there doing this crap?

I didn't mean to dismiss your grief--working on Christmas sucks, no matter the country's dominant religion
I'm having to go it alone this year. I'm tempted to go to KFC and pretend I'm in Japan. lol

I thought they still celebrated Christmas over in Japan, Budhism or not. Of course I might've heard that from Pat Roberstson so...well, you know.

don't have to work and get paid for the day :bow.

Bastard!
Actually I would've gotten paid today and tomorrow anyway if I didn't work but since I'm here I do get holiday pay, so that's cool I suppose. Infact the ammount of money they're paying me to basically sit on my ass and listen to Christmas music is almost criminal but I'll be damned if they catch me complaining about that. Don't want them to figure out that I'm sleeping on top of my microscope.
I'm takin' down the man from the inside!

tis true - though some quench has arranged exchange testing tonight so i will likely be in until around 10pm.
Groo and Mrs C aren't at work, and everyone else i know is off.
so i better pack the PSP/DS to get me through the day.
I'm at work...after my request to work from home today was cruelly denied by a red-tape wielding Grinch.

I have to go in shortly. I wanted to stay home, but all the keyholders left town early - I'm sporting a fever, full blown head cold, stomach problems, etc. My body temperature is awful. I've felt like I was going to pass out a few times today.

This must have been a shitty month for you (considering everything else has happened). Shit has to get better soon enough
I personally have tonight and tomorrow night off but I'm not getting paid for it. Good times

in Japan it's less about the Reason for the Season and more about the Reason for the 11 Secret Seasonings
