Only got to pop in to check everything is ok, so not in for long. But that's bad enough!!

One of my mates is working on christmas day - triple time. And on boxing day - double time.

I'm just "on call" 24x7, all the way through to mid january.

hey-ho, if I get called, will just think of the money .....

Working Boxing day - US Markets open - probably the most boring working day of the whole year.

Yup - on nights on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. Working New Years Day nights too, which isn't so bad.

Night shift for me on Christmas day. 9 hours double time! And I volunteered for it to help a colleague out. Must be mad. So if you are misbehaving and police turn up, don't be surprised if they look a tad disgruntled, as we really don't want to be working, but some of us have to!
