Anybody here working on CHRISTMAS?

I too am an elctrician and this is the first christmas I have off in I dont know how long. kinda nice. good thing the Economy ****s

 

Usually, I work Christmas so guys that have kids can take off. Funny, no ones has asked me to work this year.

 

I'm working a 24 hour shift (firefighter) on Dec. 24th-then work overtime on Christmas evening ($$$$). The kids are grown and last one out of college-so don't mind working to let the family guys off. Will also be working overtime on New Year's eve, too. Gotta pay the bills!

 

I worked on Thanksgiving to get the 24th off, but I'll be there for 24hrs on Christmas day and New Years eve. Whatever, it all pays the same and we just celebrate on a different day. It's only a minor bummer.

 

No I work in the oil and gas industry but I'm in the production end of it.

 

you produce gas? thats kinda funny, my wife yells at me because I too produce gas, and she yells at me for the smell.

 

Maybe solo. If not then with my girlfriend.

 

**** yeah i'm working 3-11s on christmas day. the good thing is it pays double time and a half!

 

Yup, working. Just got myself in a bind, going to El Mirage and various bike events, let the project slip off track and have to pay for my bad time management. Oh well, I played while the rest worked. Besides, I get more work done with the phones and shop shut down.

 

Your stuck on the islands again, and I am in Russia again.
Only 3 feet of snow this year, -27 today (actually warmer than normal).
Enjoy the overtime.... As you know, very little stops the drilling .
And the HAMB does help keep the mindset correct....

 

I am luckily not working on christmas. However, my husband will be working on Christmas. He is a pilot.

Working. Some of us zoo management types that don't normally work weekends volunteer to work holidays so the curators that do normally work weekends can have the time off. I got Christmas again this year.

 

Working on my car in the shop, it's been clear and sunny t-shirt weather,.....can't p*** up the opportunity to get more done...

 

Working 7am-7pm as Power Staion Operator. been a quiet day and no kids yet soo it's OK. Got new year's eve too and our roster for Easter came out last week and I scored it too. came in a 5.30am so 1 of the other Guys could be there when his kids woke.

 

You're not working at THUMBS, are you.

 

Me too brother, me too, at least my buddy and I worked out a deal so he got to spend more time with his family Christmas eve and I'll go home a bit early today. But hey we have jobs and that is a blessing these days. Though I'm sick of being under staffed and pulling 10-12 shift stretches (we work 12's). My buddy here is pulling 20 12 hour days straight with a few 24 hour shifts in there. Merry Christmas to all my fellow shift working stiffs

 

I'm workin' in Prudhoe Bay -- 2 weeks on, 2 weeks off, 12+ hour days. The kids are grown and its my turn. I'll return home on Jan. 3, 2008. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all!!
