    I'll be working Xmas Eve, Xmas night and Stevens night, all 12hr shifts, volunteered for it.

    Hate Christmas, and the triple time plus 8hrs for Xmas Day, and Double +8 for Stephens day more than makes up for it ;)

    Yep, working Christmas day but only for 4 hours and there will be others around, I think of it as a chance to spend a few hours with friends for the holiday

    Well I'm off ... indefinitely, but I did work over Christmas last year, and the year before that, and the year before that, and the year before that, you get the picture!
