working saturday morning on a pj,then off til midnight christmas eve from when im on call til midnight boxing day :good: but i get a £400 stand by payment and a minimum of £40 a call out :good: .

best bit is its make safe call outs which means if its a leak i turn the water off,if its a break in i board up and if its a blown bulb i earn forty quid for a sixty pence bulb.

but no drinking for 48 hours

Off tomorrow at 2.00 p.m for xmas party and officially firm back on the 3rd I think, although I will be in over the xmas new year period. When you work for yourself, throwing a bunk loses its appeal. Worked like the proverbial today.

 

Best bit, the xmas tally so far is about a dozen decent bottles of wine, 2 bottles of Bells which I don't drink and will give away, 2 champagne and truffle gifts sets and a chocolate hotel champagne and choccies gift set.

I'm on call all throughout Christmas and the New Year, and I will be in the office for a lot of it. No prospect of double pay. Part of the joys of shipbroking is that 100% of our clients are in the Far East - they don't give a stuff if it's Christmas here, they just expect us to be working 24/7. And if we all ignore the clients, some other equally sharky shipbroking firm will simply snap the business up/ The mobile never stops squawking, the emails never stop arriving.

 

Money never sleeps, in the words of Gordon Gecko.......

I worked 2 complete Christmas's (well we away from home, not 'working') when I was in the Middle east, but other than that I have always had the whole period off - no questions.

 

Years ago I did have to go into the office once at 2pm on the 25th :good: to re-set the alarm. I put a claim in for 2 hours at triple time and just wanted them to bounce it so I could have my name taken off the callout list, but unfortunately they sussed that and just paid it without question.

 

 

I have packed up now until 2nd January, so I will raise a glass to those who are working over the period, I hope you get rewarded for it one way or the other. :good:

Working my last shift at the factory today, but as I am a part time firefighter I will be on call right through the festive season.

 

Never mind I still have my boxing day shoot to look forward to and 2 days picking up by the end of the year.

 

All the best for 2007

Shame about the other half as she is in xmas eve and boxing day this year (better than last year as she had to go in on Xmas Day).
