Weston Super Saint Posted 16 December, 2008 Posted 16 December, 2008 Good to hear... I've graciously agreed to help the guys in the kitchen out by washing the dishes Xmas day - probably the only job I could do whilst ****ed anyway
Um Bongo Posted 16 December, 2008 Posted 16 December, 2008 Are you Santa? I can't say for legal reasons.

Poshie72 Posted 16 December, 2008 Posted 16 December, 2008 Same here, though I might hang around until about 5.30 ish just in case there's any more mince pies on offer. Tempting as mince pies may be I wont hang around, its probably the only day of the year I get to leave early

Weston Super Saint Posted 16 December, 2008 Posted 16 December, 2008 Same here, though I might hang around until about 5.30 ish just in case there's any more mince pies on offer. Do you work at Lidl?

keithd Posted 16 December, 2008 Posted 16 December, 2008 every day is a holiday in teh nick "comedy" aside.. finish 23rd at about 4 ish, depends when phones start going quiet, back again on 5th.
ozzmeister Posted 16 December, 2008 Posted 16 December, 2008 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!
Master Bates Posted 16 December, 2008 Posted 16 December, 2008 Whoops, lack of concentration. Nah, just think it's funny anyone with less than 17days off.
Barfy Posted 16 December, 2008 Posted 16 December, 2008 Nah, just think it's funny anyone with less than 17days off. but how many of those days do you have to take as leave, and how many are free? For me, I'm having to take a whole 4 days a/l for my extended break
Weston Super Saint Posted 16 December, 2008 Posted 16 December, 2008 but how many of those days do you have to take as leave, and how many are free? For me, I'm having to take a whole 4 days a/l for my extended break None. Which leaves 6 weeks to take the rest of the year at times when the weather is nicer
Barfy Posted 16 December, 2008 Posted 16 December, 2008 None. Which leaves 6 weeks to take the rest of the year at times when the weather is nicer Bugger, can I have a job at your place then?
bungle Posted 16 December, 2008 Posted 16 December, 2008 Am supposed to finish at close of play on Tuesday 23rd, but have taken that day off as I am going to the darts at the Ally Pally. Return on 5th January.
Colinjb Posted 16 December, 2008 Posted 16 December, 2008 The 23rd. Officially I am working on Xmas eve, unofficially however....
Master Bates Posted 16 December, 2008 Posted 16 December, 2008 Bugger, can I have a job at your place then? Don't think you have the intelligence to collect glasses and wipe tables tbf.
SuperMikey Posted 16 December, 2008 Posted 16 December, 2008 Got a half day on friday, then not back until 7th. Bliss!
Barfy Posted 16 December, 2008 Posted 16 December, 2008 Don't think you have the intelligence to collect glasses and wipe tables tbf. where do you get trained for that? I want 6 weeks leave!
Weston Super Saint Posted 16 December, 2008 Posted 16 December, 2008 where do you get trained for that? I want 6 weeks leave! 6 weeks that my Area Manager knows about
SNSUN Posted 16 December, 2008 Posted 16 December, 2008 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.

Half ten Saturday until midday Sunday eh? You genius you!!! Edit : Damn you and your sneaky edit!!
SNSUN Posted 16 December, 2008 Posted 16 December, 2008 Half ten Saturday until midday Sunday eh? You genius you!!! Edit : Damn you and your sneaky edit!! 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.

SNSUN Posted 16 December, 2008 Posted 16 December, 2008 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...
EastleighSoulBoy Posted 16 December, 2008 Posted 16 December, 2008 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.
Ponty Posted 16 December, 2008 Posted 16 December, 2008 Got Xmas day, Boxing day and New Years day off, but someone will be on call and I'm not sure who yet.

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.
