Provide support out of hours and get paid silly amounts of money for it generally..

Silly alright! Not sure the money is worth it for this time of year though. For me it amount doesn't change for bank holidays, christmas etc.

Also systems support for a 24/7 operation. Short straw for me this year.

Lump

Support... Pfff who's working? Actually this is the first christmas I've not being working, I'm not looking forward to it. BORING!!

Poor you, at least i'm only on call til 10pm, that really sucks & so does what you're saying about you're money, I can't wait from jan wages - shops here I come!! But it's still not worth it, especially when I live 25 miles away from where I work so if anything major goes wrong I'll have to drive in here, so no drink until I'm off!

goin'_to_the_PS

my school finishs today (st. marys) but since i'm so smart :rolleyes: they let me leave tuesday before last

irlirishkev

I'm on call 24/7 aswell, but I can do everything remotely. Downside is, I can't drink very much, and it's hard to relax..

Cheers for your kind thoughts. My drinking starts and ends tomorrow. I'll be sprawlled under some bar table in Drogheda with a bit of luck! Can't risk drinking although I can remote a lot of stuff its a 30 mile drive if the sh1te goes down. Expecting more user trouble than anything else though.

Tell me about it, nearly half way home last night & some dumb sh@t decided to run a query over one of our biggest files & crash the system .... bright spark!! Had to turn around & drive back into the city which was mad with traffic..... bah humbug to christmas shoppers!!

Dingatron

In work, I'm finished at 6pm Christmas Eve, and most likely back 9am on the 27th.
In college I've been off since the 8th and I'm back on the 10th of January.

gimmick

Hoping today was the last busy day.

We dont officially finish until 1pm Friday, but we are guessing we can duck out about 11.30-12.

Back the 28th.

nlgbbbblth

finish Friday 1:00pm
back Thursday 30th

remember people, just because you're not at work it doesn't mean you can't use the internet

CathyMoran

In theory can finish early on Friday...in practice my boss wants us tied to the desk until 5.30pm - hoping to get in and out before she notices my existance (unlikely)...they are trying to get us in next Thursday and Friday but hopefully will not be in until the following Tuesday...

ando
