The 'when do you break up for Christmas' thread

I finish the Tuesday before Christmas and go back the first Monday after new year.

 

Works out about 5days holiday taken which is pretty good.

 

Going to really enjoy this, first holiday in the real world following uni / college and the crazy long holidays.

 

Now I know what people mean by actually appriciating time off!

Working shiftwork, we don't get a set period off work except for Christmas day.

 

However due to some splendid holiday-swapping on my part, and some sheer luck, I finish work at half ten this Saturday evening and am not back in until midday Sunday (the one after Christmas). :-)

 

In addition I have rest days on New Years eve and News Day, so all in all it's going to be a good festive period.

:D I thought someone might get in before I changed it! Talk about Scrooge if I only got 14 hours off for Christmas!

 

I'm happy with 21st, 22nd, 23rd, 24th, 25th, 26th, 27th and 31st and 1st off. :rolleyes:

The week before Xmas too :shock:

 

I wouldn't be suprised in this multi-national company!

 

My mate (a colleague here) is most unfortunate this year. His day off for the Christmas week actually falls on Christmas day, which we get off anyway, so he has this Sunday off, and is then working all the way through until January 1st. What's worse for him, is that he's working an early on Boxing Day, so can't even drink on Christmas day.

 

What does he get? A day off in lieu. To be taken sometime in March. I try not to gloat...

I am on rest days from this Thursday until starting back on nights this coming Sunday, then on nights finishing Sat 27th at 08.00 Then rest days until starting back on Tues 30th.

 

In short? No break up for Christmas.

 

What work do you do ESB?

 

Mr TF would have had to do much the same, except he saved up some annual leave and so misses a day and a night shift.
