Title: What days do you work over Christmas?
Post by: Brazen on December 22, 2011, 06:01:37 AM
Our office is shut next week, so I'm "working" a half day from home tomorrow (AKA buying spuds and Brussels sprouts from the market) then I'm finished until 3 January 2012. How about you?

Office is closed on the 23rd (thanks, company) and the 27th (public holiday). Unfortunately, Austria doesn't follow the enlightened UK example of having the Monday off if a holiday falls on a weekend.

I'll be on vacation from tomorrow till 1st, though, and the 6th is another public holiday (Epiphany).

Still no paid days off, but we can't work on the 26th or the 2nd. 

I am scheduled off all of next week, the first time I have had more than a 4 day weekend in the 15 months since I started my new job.  I have been working a night shift the last 2 weeks (4 - 12 hours shifts, 4 PM - 4 AM  :yuk:) and convinced my co-workers that there is not nearly enough to do tomorrow night for 5 people and volunteered to take one for the team and stay home.  I don't have to go back until the 3rd of January.   :showoff:

No paid days off though.  :(

Tomorrow's going to suck because I'm closing, so I'm going to get back in around 1:15 AM-ish.

It will make the Godless Liberals more consistent.  Thus augmenting their power in their quest to slaughter Christians.

The asylum never sleeps. We managed to get all patients into their respective homes from the morning of the 24th till 17:30 on 26th. During that time several colleagues are doing on-call duty. I myself have the 23rd to 25th off.

I'm working on the 27th-28th, but need to take the rest of the week off to prepare for the New Year's eve dinner and do some personal stuff.  Don't intend to be back in office until the 9th, unless there's an emergency.

I have only Monday off, but I'm sure I'll run into the annual PTO must-burn time next week. Usually HR calls me and says I have X amount left.

Yeah, I managed quite a coup;  not only do I burn my vacation time, which makes the VP happy since HR won't be on his ass for leftover PTO, but I work from home and get things done anyway, which makes my director happy since the VP won't be on his ass for leftover projects.

Today was the last day of work before the school closes for construction.
No work for all of Jan, besides occasional subbing at other schools and some tutoring on the side. :)

Today and yesterday were rough, though. Did Christmas activities from 5-8:30, and had 3 2-hour classes from 10am-6:30pm today. I also had the joy of being the first teacher to give the new placement test to a whole class, which included an oral assessment for all 15 kids in the class. "About how long will the test take?" "Dunno, you're the first to give it."
