Ugh! Are there any other poor sods like me out there?
Yes.
Not me, but yes there are.
Good thing you have fellow GOGers to keep you company. :P
That sucks. You have my sympathies. Merry Christmas.
If you can't go to party, bring the party to you.

... start drinking!

lol =)
I wish I was. Just had a major blow up with the rents. XD

I appreciate the sentiment, but I doubt my employer would be happy about that. ;)

Why is that bad? Don't you like your work?

I worked until Wednesday (23) and start on Monday (28) :P
But for better money, it wouldn't be a problem for me to work on Christmas.

But, but this means your employer forbids you to share xmas hapiness too.

Tell him/her that he/she is very very naughty, and will not get present from Santa! =)

No, I don't dislike it or anything, but working on Christmas just isn't exactly an exciting proposition for some of us, you know.

Indeed, no matter how much people like their work it just isn't at all enticing on the day you're supposed to be enjoying with the family, so my sympathies and hope you atleast get properly compensated for working on Christmas day.
Do it for the Benjamins
Sucks, mistermumbles. I get all non-tax-season holidays off these days. But I've been there in social work. Lots and lots of July 4ths and Thanksgivings, a couple of Christmases. Quitting time is always extra special - hope it speeds along for you today. :)
