Its the first day of the year and im here working.
I just wish im at hope sleeping at home relaxing and eating.
Well, i have no choice but give my best on this first day of the year. All I can do is get a litte nap to relax. I slept late last night and im too sleepy to work, and time seems to stand still and not moving and its as if eternity.Why does it take so long for the clock to strike two pm. I cant wait to go home.
Hope you have a nice day and take care!

[i]Happy New Year too kaleegirl...I am great here, how are you?
ANyway, it's really hard to survive this time that is why people work and work and work....Plus there are a lots of temptation about loans and credits so, sometimes, even if it is beyond the budget, people are tempted so it makes them work harder to pay the bills...[/i]

[i][b]Hello checapricorn (Happy New Year)how are you?
I have to agree with you, but on the other hand, all working people need a day off. It's getting to a point where even Christmas people are working. I don't think it's fair for them or the families. But it's all about making buck. I remember back in the late 50's, on Sunday, everything was close. we didn't have malls. Downtown was completely closed down, it was about spending time with the family. Now it's all about making money. How sad is that?[[/i]em]sad[/em][/b]

I have had to work many holidays because of nursing. I know how it is to work holidays. It is still 2008 here in California USA. It is only 9PM here. We have a few hours before we see the new year.
Good luck in the new year.

At least your shift ends at 2pm. Mine ends at 4pm, and I'm so sleepy,didn't get enough sleep last night. But there's no other choice but to work. Have a great day and happy new year!

I'm not at work in the traditional sense because I don't work in a traditional office. However, I am at work posting and writing so I guess we're kind of in the same boat.

Hi Zelmarq (Happy New Years)
I'm sorry to hear that you're at work. What is it that you do? I know about time standing still, i know when I'm someplace that I'm having a good time, time flys, but if I'm somewhere i don't want to be. Someone out there stops time, they enjoy playing this little joke on us. I hope you home now and you're enjoying the rest of day.

Happy New Year, Zelmarq. I am sorry that you had to work on the first day of the new year, but I am having my days off from December 31st till January 3rd. So today I am still having a rest at home. I am enjoying myself a lot at home doing things I love to, feeling so relaxed and comfortable. I wish you had a good rest home after you got home after two in the afternoon yesterday.

You have rendered your vast energy at the right time and the right place, Zelmarq. Working in the first New Year 2009 day is a great thing to be done, actually. Your good voice needed to soothe all complainant's heart(if any) and you are at the perfect vista point to test your power of words in making perfect answers to those questions. Be good to them and take good from them. The ticking clock will never know your heart's secrets, keep going, Zelmarq. Be proud, because you are wanted for today.

It will be over before you know it. You can just be thankful you have a job and a weekly paycheck - when you look at it that way it is not so bad. Hope 2 pm comes soon!

Hi Zelmarq! My sister in law is also working this first day of 2009 and she is really upset and happy at the same time. Why? Well, she said that it is double pay and that made this first working day bearable for her. haha..
Take care always! Happy New Year!

Zelmarq, you are not alone, I have to go in at 3 p.m. and I do not get off until 11 p.m. I got little sleep last night because I was up working online. The dog woke me up early this morning for her morning walk and feeding. It is going to be a very long day! I am not cooking until tomorrow, for today I must work. 1 person likes this
