reverenddave

immature ejaculation

sean corcoran

well i work in a hotel nightclub (chasers in dunboyne) and we are open on the 23rd, 26th, 31st, 1st and 2nd, im in all of those days, dont complain

Dunjohn

Every job I've worked in has had very few days off over the Christmas period, but so far, no, I've never had to work the day itself. I have friends who don't work in customer-facing roles and whose companies close up for a week or two at this time of year, jaysus I wonder what that'd be like.

orourkeda

I have 4 days work over the crimbo period and am delighted to have it.

dubtom

So it it's opening the 26th, do you mean after midnight xmas night??

starbelgrade

OP.
Didn't they change the licensing laws a few years ago to stop this happening?
Before the change night clubs could open at midnight on christmas night and good friday, but the law was altered so that an extension or late license is dated on the start of the night rather than the following day.


Unless your night club is only open to residents of the hotel who will also be dining there

Dudess

Place is open Christmas Day but enough others volunteered to work it, so no. Have to work Christmas Eve and Stephen's's's's's Day though. I wouldn't mind working a half day early Christmas Day if it came to it. Gutting to work the full day though, especially a late shift.

northern lights

Yep, working a late shift both christmas eve and christmas day Off the 26th but back in for a late on monday 27th and a night shift on the 28th. With the roads the way they are I might have to stay overnight on christmas eve as well. Bah humbug

MonicaBing

I have 4 whole days off from Christmas eve! WAHOOO!!!

Fire Crews, Paramedics, Nurses, Hospital Doctors, Gardai, etc all NEED to work on Christmas day to look after the people who can't look after themselves.

The OP is a only a barman anyway there's no need to compare him to emergency services ffs.

As I said in the fast-food thread, I still respect this man more than someone on the dole.

I am not the one nit-picking here, the poster I quoted was comparing a barman having to work with emergency services workers for whom working this day is part and parcel of their duty to me.

The barman has every right to feel annoyed as if the Irish punter such as yourself wasn't so obsessed with going on the sauce maybe he could be at home with his family this X-mas.

He just wants to spend some time at home over Christmas, your posts stink of bitterness.

What would I have to be bitter about I am off X-mas day. Some people need to think their posts through, I am trying to have an intelligent discussion here :rolleyes:

Are you going to contribute something then? All of your posts thus far have been purely carrying out a personal agenda against me :rolleyes: A lot of bitterness and ignorance in this thread ATM

This is a pathetic attempt to make the OP feel bad for having a job. As I said some people like to spend time with family.

This belittles the OP's occupation. I know it is made in comparison to an essential service for society but you didn't have to belittle him.

Never mind, I had a quick look at some of johnn's other posts, he's clearly a troll, stupid us for falling for it.

edit: I almost forgot

:rolleyes:

johnn

I still don't understand what I am supposedly bitter about here I think it is all of you that have to work on x-mas day whilst I am tucking into my Turkey & Ham that are bitter. :rolleyes: You should be thankful you aren't on the dole because with your attitudes to work and others I would guess that you all might soon be.

Ah jaysus johnn would you not just forget about it?
Well done to you, you get to stay at home Christmas day but others are not that lucky. And anyone who has a job is grateful for it but we wouldn't be human if we didn't give out about it at times. And anyone giving out about working Christmas day is well entitled to bitch as much as they want in my opinion.

To all of you moaning about working Christmas day, get a bloody better job then!

Whinging twats.

old_aussie

No I don't have to work Christmas day, I'm giving myself the day off.

angelfire9

When I was younger (late teens early 20's) I used to work every Christmas day in a local hotel where there were residents that needed to be fed plus Christmas lunch for the public
Got triple pay for my trouble
As much turkey & pudding as I could handle
Plus a nice drop of vino when the guests had been fed and the staff got to sit around eating & drinking
It was great craic I really enjoyed it
(of course I was also escaping from my mother who goes into super hyper mode every christmas day)

Now that I'm married with kids I would HATE to miss Christmas morning at home
BUT if I had a job believe me I'd do it any job is better than none!
Hubby is working Christmas day 6-2 so he'll miss the mad dash to open the pressies around 8am when our 9 year old wakes up but at least I have him home for the evening

Lots of people have to work for Christmas its unfortunate but most of them get extra pay for the inconvenience so my sympathy is limited!
