Good ?...
/Me waits for answer....
I have to look at it this way because I've already burned all of my Vacation time and personal time. Calling in sick after a holiday merits no pay.
What else can I do?:rolleyes:
We get teh day off, but it's not a paid day. If we want money, we gotta put in for a vacation day. :mad:
Thats kinda lame Cobra
Tackle...I feel your pain...I am about out of vacation too...:( I can't WAIT for January 1, will get 3 weeks this next year, plus my floating holidays (basically extra vacation days) get either 4-5 of them! :) We don't get paid for the holiday if we call in sick the day before or after, we are ok if we use vacation, but not sick...it sucks, but I can see their point....
You said that once...you tryin to rub it in?? :confused: :mad: ;)Quote:

LOL! I wasn't really! That was weird, I was going back through the posts and it said the page had expired,I hit refresh and saw I had a double post....strange.
My company is closed on Friday, which makes it a perfect day to come in and upgrade all the anti-virus software on the network!
Working here when everyone else is gone sure beats going christmas shopping at the mall.
Off but on call if you count that as off :rolleyes:
Yeah it counts...no matter WHAT time of the year I take a day off, I'm always on call..and its rare that I don't get bugged on a day off....:rolleyes: Still beats bein here! :)Quote:

we're open, but only for a few hours, i'm in from 2 to 4. we're closed on weekends and bosses don't want to go 4 days without support. we'll come in, check the answering machine and watch football for a few hours and go home. there will only be a few of us and as i had last year off so i have to work this year. hopefully it won't interfer with my yearly day after Thanksgiving football game.
I work at a financial institution so by law we are required to be open on friday. I put in for a vacation day and was gonna use up vacation hours, come to find out I had a floating holiday so I get to use that instead of my hours...pretty pumped...and I'm off at 2 today. *cheese* :D
Boxing Day is the day after Christmas, traditionally named that because it is the day on which everybody is "boxing" up all of their ornaments and junk.Quote:

It used to be traditional for everybody to have Boxing Day off up here, but the tradition has instead evolved into the Boxing Day Sale, in which retailers desperately scramble to unload everything on their shelves that they ordered too much of and couldn't sell at full retail before Christmas. So if you work in a store, you pretty much have to work Boxing Day, otherwise, you are pretty much sure of it off.
Big store Boxing Day sales are actually pretty good. I got a Far Side day by day calendar at one for $2.97 Cdn.
I work in the Financials too, so it's a normal day for us here on Friday. It is a dress-down day though! About 1/2 the staff have taken it as a vacation day so it'll just be a few of us hanging around, eating anything and everything in sight.
Of course, the big bosses have "business obligations" elsewhere on that day which happen to be nearby wherever their families are...
Heehee, I thought it was boxing as in the sport...goes to show what I know! :D
/Me thinks US needs this day as well.....
Thanks Clammy
I didn't know what Boxing Day was all about, sucks having to work the day after Christmas
I'll be working on a SCO3 server that won't boot. I would have been there late into the night Wedensday, but they couldn't find any of their disks.
