PDH, I used to get the same deal at HGSE: the university shut down for the entire time between Xmas and New Years so I got a "free" paid week of vacation.  Including that I got six weeks off a year.  Probably never see that again as long as I live. -_-

This year, I'm working Christmas Eve till noonish, probably, then off Christmas.  Next week, off the 31st and 1st.

I actually like to work between Christmas and New Year's, because nobody is around to annoy me and I can get a lot of shit done.
Umass is doing that. Except there is no free time.  Bastards want us to burn as much vacation time as possible. 

Since I really don't wanna sit around the house for a week and a half I'm going in to work in one of the three departments that will still be open.
PDH!

Off from dec 24 to first Monday in January. Nice week. Spending with family and friends, relaxing...and planning to go out for dinner with friends.

Oh, and drinking.

From Friday to January 4th. I haven't made up my mind if I'm coming in on Thursday.

What am I going to do? Watch the IIHF Junior World Championship & play video games. Also, watch porn. A lot of porn.

We (or should I say simply I) have to deliver a report by the 30th, and I should really start to hurry it, as I could only start recently. That means no holidays (besides the official ones) until 2010. We get the 24th and the 31st off anyway, though. I'll take a week or so off in January.

Impressive.  Overall, it appears Euros aren't quite as lazy as I'd previously believed. *golf clap*

I'll even work a bit from home over the holidays, if you want to keep breaking the stereotype.  :P

How about you do that, and I start caring about poors--and we call it even.  :hug:

Yeah sorry Colt McCoy.  Only Bill in Sinton is that big of a fan.
