Working Christmas Eve

OH OUCH! That is a rough pill to swallow for sure! I don't blame you for being upset You are going to have a long Christmas Day! I'm sorry. Doesn't your boss celebrate Christmas?

i get off christmas morning at 9am.xmas night i have to go in at 11pm so atleast im off during the day on xmas.its a residential group home so we have to stay open 24 hours

I guess the world has to go on no matter what? People still get sick, so hospitals can not close and my husband works in a prison? You can't hardly let the prisoners go for the holidays and expect them to come back!

Love you sis, thanks.

Diddo sis, hugs

It's okay, I guess lots of people are in the same boat. I will call you when I get home Christmas Eve. Merry Christmas!

Oh yes I know, but ever since I opened my business they have been calling me stranger! I do the best I can to get to functions, but my business is small and I can't afford to hire anyone right now to take any time off.

Yeh I have Christmas day off. I was just feeling sorry for myself. I know that some people will have to work both days. I feel for them. I will enjoy the time I have off, thanks. It's just that Christmas eve is when we exchange gifts with our kids and grandkids. Oh well we can do it later in the evening. Merry Christmas to you!

Anytime you spend with family is a good time. Huggers.

Good for you! I am glad you finally got one off! My little brother is an RN too and sometimes I don't know how he can handle the hours he puts in? Have a very Merry Christmas! Have a drink for me! :) I work in retail and will probably sit there and twiddle my thumbs all day! Thanks for the response.

Thank you for the kind words. Glad you had a nice Christmas. I was wondering if you had that drink for me? hehehhee Have a great day Missy, you a tough job that most of us just couldn't handle. God Bless You.

Thanks (belatedly) for the best reponse. You always have nice interesting topics to respond to. It makes this place a bit more interesting to visit. Oh christmas was great. I did have a couple of drinks - and then a nap...

I would, but honey I am the boss. I own my own small business and have nobody working for me, I can't afford that yet, and have to stay open for business hours or have people get angry and lose business, which I can not afford to do, so this is my situation. Business or pleasure, what do I give up? I know alot of people never realize this dilema, but it is rough for small business people too. We don't have anyone to take over for us when we want to go to a family function or stay home because of the roads, etc. Merry Christmas to you and God Bless.

Oh are you a doctor? The medical field is a tough job for sure! My brother is an RN and his hours are unreal! Hope you get to enjoy Christmas Day a little between naps. Merry Christmas to you and thank you for your response.

Well I hope you get out in the early afternoon then. Thank you for your reply. I was just sitting here feeling sorry for myself, wondering if anyone else had to work too. :)

Thank you Sandy. Merry Christmas to you too!

Well at least you have a supervisoring position and have a little say in it, right? Thank you for your response and Merry Christmas!

I feel for you, at least I only work until 4:00. Thank you for your response and Merry Christmas!

Hey that's great! Glad to hear that! Have a very Merry Christmas and thank you for your reply.
