    Anyone here in work today or over the Christmas period? And what do you do/where do you work?

    I'm off today but back in tomorrow for a 4am start (up at 2.30am) :( It's 4am starts all the way to Saturday with me.

    The joys of working shift in the airport!! And no, I don't even get a shift allowance or anything, it's just another day for me :mad: :(

    I work in the airport too. Started at half 4 this morning. Three twelve hour shifts for the next 3 days. Only difference is I get up at quarter to 4. The joys of living close and not being a woman.

    How's things in Malta? I've been living there since September but am home for the Christmas.

    Everything was great here for Christmas, work was a doddle.

    Where abouts in Malta are you based?

    ..There was me thinking I'd be the only one walking around wearing the Boards t shirt and no one would get it :(

    Do you work in gaming?
