Rosedale6

What days do you guys and girls have off over Christmas? Im working part time at the moment so i finish on the 19th Dec and back on the 5th Jan.:)

petes

23rd until the 2nd. Same as most I'd guess. Still have to work a bit over them days though.

Pighead

Pighead only works one night over Christmas. Can't tell you what job it is though as it's a secret. Merry Christmas everybody. Ho Ho Ho.

Have the 20th until the 27th off. Not too bad. When I worked in Supermacs years ago it was literally just Christmas Day off, that sucked.

ncmc

23rd-2nd. The place I work opens a few days over Christmas, but I just refused to come in!

RastaRed

BaconZombie

Was that the Supermacs in Galway? Pighead worked in the one opposite Merlin Hospital way back in the day during the glorious college years. Made an absolute dogs dinner of the place. Burnt burger buns, cold chicken, manky mighty macs, dead children, the works.

Pighead was a one man disaster zone. They sacked him after 3 months after a bus full of kids came down with food poisoning a couple of days after tucking into Pighead's poxy pizzas. "You're fired!" said the manager doing that finger point that all the cool television people do now.

Two months later the same manager knocked on Pigheads door and asked him would he consider coming back. "Fcuk your crummy job, fcuk you and fcuk the horse you rode in on" is what Pighead wanted to say to him. Didn't though. Instead he started back at 6 that evening shuffling back to Supermacs with his shameless tail between his legs..

What has all this got to do with the original post. Not much but to stay on topic Pighead's gonna pretend this all happened around Christmas time.

Danbo!

Finish up lunchtime on the 23rd for the xmas party and back on the 5th. Not bad, considering a lot of my colleagues are finished on the 23rd and back never.

Naos

Pighead.

I'm off from the 23rd to the 5th... Oh yeah!

Mark200

I was planning on being off from the 23rd - 5th, but I thinkI have to work on the 29th (a bank holiday for me so I get overtime at least), the 2nd, and maybe a halfday on the 31st.

I would not work Christmas day or Christmas Eve for anyone. Don't mind working the rest of it, i love my job, and the craic is mighty this time of year at work.

danindublin

Iago

Corruptedmorals

I'm only guaranteed to have the 25th and 26th off. They usually try to not have part-timers working both Christmas Eve and New Year's Eve but doesn't always work out. Will definitely be working the 1st and hopefully I get the 31st instead of Christmas Eve, total nightmare.

My paperwork for the government takes up precious little of my time so I'm not needed at work again until next month for a few hours. Then it's another month until I'm in again. So it's a one afternoon on, thirty days off kinda deal!

Plus I'm getting double eh.... pay this Christmas. Thanks goodness they didn't take it away in the recession.
