So who gets to eat a turkey sandwich instead of a turkey dinner? I can't wait to sit on my ass from 2-12 in the office. no turkey dinner, no beer, no football. i'm going to be so effing lost :mad:

    Sucks dude. My work shift rotates like that. I work every other week from Wednesday to Wednesday. So if a holiday falls on my work week, then I have to work it. This year is OK, the only holiday's that fell on my week are New Years eve/day and the 4th of July.

    I'm working...

    I'm hosting the dinner.....preparing, serving, cleaning, etc.

    At this point, I'd rather sit at a desk all day long performing some brain-numbing task than cook and subsequently clean for a few hours on Thursday...

    ..but I'm just feeling bitchy at the moment.

    this too...shall..pass...

    on Friday...when everyone is out of my house and I have peace and quiet once again.

    I work for retail and have to be at work at 4 AM.. some other co-workers have to be there as early as 2 AM.

    Did I mention I was doing some serious job hunting today?

    I know. I won't go to sleep that night and just go to work drunk. :p ..probably better than trying to get just a few hours of sleep.

    Atleast I can walk to work now since I moved..

    well i wasn't planning on working on friday, but it seems I'm going to have to. But I have to do a task where I have to call people, and who the hell is going to be in their offices?

    I don't this year... I only had to once (when I was working another job), but it was like a 6AM-2PM shift, so that wasn't bad. I made like double time and was still home for dinner.
