I'm at work today and tomorrow but I'm doing my damnedest to not do any actual work. I've been bumpbooking all morning and I feel no motivation to stop and do anything useful.
I have to work today and tomorrow. Thn Wed is a halfish day for us which means we work until everyone gets done. Then off Thurs and office is closed Fri. Same for next week too.
I work today, tomorrow, and Christmas Eve. Christmas Eve is scheduled as a full day too. Most people will leave between 2:30 and 3. I plan on having to work until my regular time because I have to wait for shipping to be done and we are usually the last ones out the day before holidays. Thursday and Friday are work holidays.
I work in healthcare and I'll be working Christmas Eve since Christmas is my holiday off this year. We alternate every other holiday and I worked Christmas last year so I get this year off!
I work for an electric utility. We all on call christmas day because high winds and power outages are expected. Boo. I had to work thanksgiving this year also.
I give credit to the nurses and everyone else that has to work holidays normally.
Another healthcare person here... I work Christmas Eve and the day after. My mom (nurse) works Christmas Day. So we all will be celebrating tomorrow. And my normal schedule resumes this weekend. It's rare for anyone in my region who has under 10 years seniority to get vacation granted around Christmas time.
I had the option, but I chose to work Christmas Day this year (and thanksgiving, and New Years). More pay for the same amount of work, and kiddo doesn't know any different.

Re: Working
Next week I only have New Year's Day off.
Then we come back on the 29th and work another couple days, half day on New Years Eve, then off until the 5th!
