    I'm pulling 12's assuming my relief shows up on time. Working on new years is a good excuse to make $ vs spending it. Just happy to work for a company who componsates for working holidays. Come to think of it just glad to be working.

    My cusin's working a double for double pay starting a 12 tonight (an hour ago.) I don't work right now but if I was working Christmas I'd expect at least time an a half.

    Worked friday 7pm-7am.. working now same hours.. work tomorrow same hours. :(

    HOPING someone comes in to let me go home at 7am. We had a guy call in "sick" for the past 2 weeks. They couldn't find anyone to come in today... one of our "supervisors" was told if he can't find someone to work it that he will work it. This supervisor is pretty lazy....
    I will be PISSED if i'm forced to work a 24 hour shift without notice. I have a horse, a dog, and 2 cats at home needing fed and let out (well horse is out.. cats stay in.. dog needs out.)

    :( We get screwed. Since it's the weekend we dont get any extra. MONDAY we get holiday pay but it's only 8 hours regardless if we work or not. So I get my normal pay plus 8 hours of holiday pay... :mad:

    Then my part time job is closed on monday so I lose out money there.. they'll be closed next sat and mon too.. :rolleyes: stupid holidays.
