    Ha! You think you have it bad?

    I've been in since Wednesday night and im in tonight and every other night until next Wednesday, have thursday off which ain't bad I suppose (/sarcasm). 11-8, leaves me no room for festive beverages, well ... at least no room to sober up before work.

    I used to like working on Christmas day. Get paid lots, Get lots of Tips, and miss the panic at home of the Turkey cooking. Arrive in from work and sit down to eat dinner. Gotta love it.

    Am in at the mo, having lots of fun...ploughing through the most ginormous box of roses, drinking loads of tea and listening to carols sung by my american namesake (realname). Could just curl up and snooze right now...
    Workn for another hour and then heading home. Have to dial in a few times for the rest of the night then doing the same tomorrow night.
    Don't mind it too much, mammy is cooking the turkey and ham. I'm 'hosting' dinner at mine tomorrow so there's a chance I'll fall asleep into me dinner at some stage....
    Get a week off afterwards tho so it's not too bad.

    Happy Christmas everyone by the way...hope ye have a good one wherever ye are..:)

    Actually, they do, but they celebrate the 24th and 25th instead of the 25th and 26th. Christmas Eve is huge in Iberia.
