steve_b_wales Posted December 22, 2009 Report Share Posted December 22, 2009 I'm working Xmas eve (nights) and then off Xmas day/Boxing day. From midnight Xmas Eve until 8am Xmas day, I get double time. Not bad considering I work in a mental health hospital, where all the patients will be in bed fast asleep at 11pm. Nothing to do all night except play cards, go on Pigeon Watch, drink tea/coffee and watch DVd's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vole Posted December 22, 2009 Report Share Posted December 22, 2009 me to just have frid, sat and sun off, no time off over new year, dont you just love the NHS doc Me too. On late shift on Christmas Day after an early Christmas Eve.Doing N Y Eve too. Someone went off sick so working plenty in between too.I dont think a turkey dinner is quite the same when taken out of the microwave after the family has all gone to bed. There is something really naff about creeping out of the house when everyone else is sleeping off their hangovers. For some reason there seems to be a greater number of deaths on the big occasions making it pretty grim,especially for the families. You do get used to Christmas etc becoming just another working day but it must be much worse for folk who have lost their jobs and homes. Hope those folk in my old Cumbria who got flooded are not too miserable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yellow Bear Posted December 22, 2009 Report Share Posted December 22, 2009 Officially off until 4th Jan - actually on call because of the poor"ethnic" students who can't undestand that christmas is a holiday in this country and complain if the Library is shut or cold Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
