I'm also working Christmas Day, and NewYears Eve, and New Years Day...with all the double time since this last Sunday, I will have 72 hours of double time. I NEVER pass up that opportunity.

Our company thinks double time means the employees work twice the amount of time for the same amount of pay.

Depends on whether the gov't leaves Wolfie enough money after they do a rain dance on that paycheck.

I have to work until about 2 PM. I have X-mas and the day after off. Then I have to work a regular shift on New Year's Eve, which frickin' bites, 'cause the new guy will be in our hometown partying and I won't get to be there. Who needs freight shipped on New Year's Eve anyway?

I get New Year's eve off every sith and seventh year. 8(

Also, everyone and their dog is shipping like crazy at the beginning of this wk, so last night I did data entry until 3:30A. Suck. I'm sure tonight will be the same. But, no overtime for all that, 'cause of the short wk.

I wish Newergirl would sleep until at least 9. I got about 4 hrs. of sleep.

Treebeard

It's going to be in three different paychecks so hopefully, I won't hit the next tax bracket. If it were all on one check, I would not have chose so many shifts because, yes, they do rain dance on it and it does rain everytime.

Drinks are on Wolfy? What, are we doing belly button shots?
Nigal

Ain't nothing gonna stay in this belly button, Nigal...remember, I got a beer belly...so it poofs out and all. But, now I have a couple of friends that,well...nevermind. Bad idea.
Wolfeyes

I gotta beer belly too. You could do nearly a pint out of it! Just use RumpleMints. I like the way it tingles!
Nigal
12:59:10 PM
12/23/03

Oh, goodie! Now we can play volcano...pour the ol' hot damn in the belly buttons and poof our belly's up and watch the stuff pour all over.

Seeings how there is an equal chance of the direction it will run out I'll take a pass. I prefer to get my genitals burning the old fashion way. LOL!

What exactly IS Boxing Day and how do you traditionally celebrat it?
Nigal
1:09:08 PM
12/23/03

Well it's the day after Christmas and is essentially the same - except the pubs are open in the evening :o).
It's more or less just a second day of festivities. Good opportunity to perform family duties with side of family you didn't have to put up with on Christmas Day.

After christmas with the in laws everyone's probably ready for a good pi$$ing at the pubs!

I think we should have Wrestling Day the day after christmas. We could all just jump in a ring and beat the hell out of the relatives that pissed ya off or gave bad gifts the day before.
Nigal

Oh me. They just told us they are going to lock the door at 3 today. If we want out, gotta be out before 3. ;)

Ynami's full of it. It's the day you go shopping with Mike Tyson for protective earmuffs!

I thought it was the day you took the old relatives you couldn't stand anymore and sealed them up in a box.

Nigal - you just want to put the sparkly spandex wrestling leotard on again huh?

Tree - well yes, I am full of it - but that's another matter entirely.

Bit - euthenizing elderly relatives is something that can be enjoyed at any time of year.

I work Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, Friday, Saturday and Sunday. And I have to stick in the inlaws staying overnight and cook them Christmas Dinner!

I thought boxing day was kinf of a canadian thing. The day after christmas you "box" up the leftovers and such and deliver them to those less fortunate.

Just don't do a 'Boxing Helena' kind of thing.
Boxing Helena, one of the more weird movies on the movie channels last week.

That's the one where the mad scientist cuts off the arms and legs of the woman he loves so she can't get away from him and she has to be his sex slave for the rest of her life?

Something like that. It's a really bad movie. I quit watching about halfway.

It is a really poopie movie Bit. You watch it thinking you're gonna see loads of whatshername naked - but it just turns out sick even for my tastes.
