Anybody here working on CHRISTMAS?

Anybody here working Christmas? I am. I gotta work till next Thursday. Im currently at work right now, working the grave yard shift. 5PM till 5AM. Im an electrician on an Island off the coast of Long Beach, CA. I gotta catch a boat everyday to get here. Im just bored thats why Im writting this. The HAMB is the only thing that keeps me awake.

 

Not me. I used up the last of my vacation and have off nine days in a row. Hpefully you get some vacation time after the first of the year. merry f*#%n' christmas.

 

I have worked many Graveyard shifts on Christmas. I feel for you. Hope you have a good Christmas and some good sleep (Daytime sleep is not fun).

Take care,

i too am also an electrician in milwaukee, we are getting another 12 inches of snow tonite to add to the like 2 feet we already have so feel lucky you can still drive that awesome rod when you get off work. luckily this is one of the first christmas's ive had off work in like 4 years.

Merry Christmas and hope you have a good new years.

 

Im on a rotating shift. I work 7 days then im off for 7 days. Its cool but so far all the good holidays have landed on my days on. Its pretty lonely out here.

 

SNOW!!! Whats that??? We dont get White XMAS's here in California. I would love to see snow on XMAS. Consider yourself a lucky guy!!!

 

Christmas in Tokyo is barely recognised..its considered as a shopping festival JUST FOR COUPLES.....with lots of special rates at LOVE HOTELS

So, yeah...I'll be working

 

I go back to work Christmas Eve day for a 9 day shift. I don't mind that much all the guys I work with have young kids so I trade days with them so they can stay home

 

Do you work for an Oil Rig?

 

Im thinking about going on vacation to Japan. Do you know any cool spots?

 

im at work presently northbound on the mississippi river with a tow of petro chemicals for the chicago area i wont be home until around the 15th of jan..
no big deal its just my turn to ride this year .. merry christmas yall

 

I have to work Christmas. I work for the fire department and my schedule is every third day, so a third of all firemen around the country will be at their station on Christmas morning.

 

Now thats the way to look at it !!! And at least you have a job. Merry Christmas !!!

 

I will be working here in Chicago at Ohare Airport Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, oh well.

 

I'll be working patrol, night shift, as a cop in the Houston area. Will probably be slow, except for the drunks out. Just glad to be working. I always get a perspective adjustment real quick when driving by 40-50 homeless people, sleeping on the sidewalk just outside of downtown during the night.

 

years ago ,when i worked for the phone company i would volunteer to work on Christmas. i was single with no kids..so it gave the chance for people with families to have the day off

besides , it was triple time and all i did was sit on my *** for the day

 

I feel for ya six duece. I was lucky enough to get two weeks off this year,gonna try to finish the chop on my plymouth. merry christmas to all...

 

I'm working Christmas Eve and on call on Christmas Day. I don't mind. I got off on Thanksgiving and will be off on New Years Day.

 

Yep, I'll be on nights (5p-5a). Been very few holidays over my shiftwork career that I've been off. Good news is that if all goes as planned, I'll be retired for the '08 Christmas holiday...

Merry Christmas to all.

 

I hope I can, I am always working even on weekends and sometimes I work through the night,nothing like working 32 hours straight but I guess that is the life of a Hot Rod builder.

 

Plenty of tips...but what kinda holiday???? solo??? family???? kids????

 

Yup, my job is 3 days on 3 days off no matter where they fall 24/7. I was lucky enough to be on shift for Christmas morning and New Year's Eve night. At least both are double time and a half, that makes it a little easier.

 

lol yeah i gotta work a 12...hell i work 7/12's.....love the snow and mountains out here in the Hindu Kush....second christmas out here lol......hopefully only one more...eat some good food for me haha....

 

....

 

I work 11pm till 7am sunday night,off monday, work 7pm till 7am tuesday,then back to 11-7 regular scedule.

 

I'm working Christmas night and NewYears Day 3p-11p. I could have taken the day off, but I let the "young guys" with younger kids have it off. Besides, the overtime money will buy more parts!

 

don't let a Trainmaster catch you or you'll be out of service for the holidays. when I was young, I slept on 3rd shift in the car shop and went to college during the day. I'll have 40 yrs on the RR this coming May

 

I'm working,...working on ordering my new skylark wire wheels for my 65 Rivi!!!..gonna be sweeeet.

****...I was off this past Friday (no pay)...won't go back til the 26th. Not much happening right now in the boat trailer biz...thank goodness I get paid for Monday & Tuesday.
