Stuck working through xmas this year, anyone else stuck?
-
Yep I don't have any kids so I volunteer to do the xmas new year thing most years it is OK as no one argues with me when I put in for other holidays I got 2 weeks off from the 12th Jan to make up for it
-
We're not going away at Christmas. Haven't for a few years.
I'll be off work from this Friday, through to 5 Jan. Got some things I need to do around home.
My lovely is working through. Like Chester, she doesn't get any arguments from colleagues.
We like to take a good break in the middle of the year, usually 6 weeks or so :cup:
-
We don't go away in the school holidays if we can avoid it 8)
-
I don't go away cos I'm a tite arse..... :-)
-
Would love to be heading somewhere, but funds are going to be tight, so no-go this time :'(
-

Cool, I might finally find some spare time to drop in and see the new digs :)
-
Never travel at Christmas. All the families are here.
Finish at work this Friday and go back on the 5th January...
Plenty of odd jobs to get down around the house... :D
-
As usual working right through only RDO'S etc off, and thats still not good enough for some of the Eagles above me who wanted me to work on one of my RDO's New Years Eve .... The change in the tone of voice was very noticable when they got the " no " reply..[ worked 16 of the last 20 of them ]..

BBQ at BD's :D

I will have a couple of 4 day weekends to finish the work trailer rebuild.
Was looking forward to a slow Christmas/New year, bit of golf,take the boat out, but.
It rained. Then stormed. And rained again. More storms for tomorrow.
Had calls from customers I hadn't seen for 3 months.
The grass is green and growing, the money's flowing but farq it's steamy.
Flat out now.

Plenty to do at mine too, but as I spend all bloody year doing that at other peoples places, I like my 2 week close down and ph turn off and go where no one apart from those invited can talk to me. ;D
But your more then welcome to come do my odd jobs if you want. ;D

Working all over Xmas, on-call xmas day and new years day as well.

I'm building my camper as far as time and money will permit.
I've easily spent a couple of grand or so making sure I got all the hard to get during fat man season parts and I couldn't be happier.
Lay ed down some timber floor bearers today
-
Well some people would class it as going away. But to me it just work. Driving from dawrin to broome then return. Just gotta love it up here. Exploring or even working.

Yeah, i'll be snoozing through Xmas day, working nightshift as of last night right through till i get back into Aus on the morning of the 31st Dec. So an all nighter on New Years eve won't be a problem ;D :cheers: ;D
-
Yep I am away too. 2nd year running getting to work Christmas and New Year. Them the breaks I guess.
-
I too am working the holidays, only Christmas day off.
I will take a week off mid January and none of it will count towards my leave as they owe me for working the holidays.
Win for me...

but now I never really go any place from now until February mostly
I have never really liked crowds

just because the jobs are there, doesn't mean to say i'll will be doing them... :)
perhaps we could catch up one day and talk about the jobs that we both didn't do... :)
-
Xmas time is a good time to stay home, everything crowded and at twice the price.
We normally head off the day school goes back, or there abouts.
-
We're not going away this year as we had a baby boy almost 2 weeks ago. He is our first so both my wife and I would like to be around our families for the extra help. Aiming to go away again during Easter to relax by the beach.
-
We have never gone away camping at Christmas, too busy for our liking. Prefer to take time off in late Jan/February when things are quieter.
Workwise, back too it after the Christmas/New Year week.

Simply not enough time off. Think I might have to use some of my long service this year. I was at work for about 30 minutes before i had to re-start fighting the urges to cave someone's head in.... Might have to go get a child care degree so that I can deal with these children I work with.....
-
Still at work, have not been home yet. Home in a few days... Thank goodness! :o
