View Full Version : How many works left?
Got 4 works left before christmas :D
Was going to put this up last Tuesday evening saying only 5 left but I thought that would be a bit cruel :)
I'm finishing on the 18th this year at 6pm and then back to work on the 5th Jan at 6am.
One of the good things about working at our place :)

Burble would've beaten you, I think he finished sometime near the end of November!
And it's 5 for me, though I'm hopefuly we'll be kicked out early on Friday, around lunchtime, as the site supervisors don't like staying late on the last day, and who can blame them? Go back on the 5th Jan, so 2 whole weeks off for me :)
4 days next week (got tuesday off for an appointment) and 3 days the week after (finish 4pm on 24th). Go back on 5th January. I'm the only person at our work who is allowed to take holiday over xmas, otherwise I'd be working everything except the bank holidays.
I finish Christmas eve at maybe 5 or 6ish depending on how the day goes. Come back on Monday the 29th! :cool:
faysh finishes night shift on the 23rd at 7am lol
So thats ummm 6 more works for him.
Me well I work 24hrs a day 7days a week with no days off as the only job I have is being a mum and that is hard enough and more than enough work for now lol

We're then on shutdown until the 5th of Jan. \o/

Probably about 4 or 5, but there's a chance i'll be working Christmas Day....
4 days left and they are only training as well :)

5 more days left, but one is college and one is a day for user testing on a new system. Christ Mouse do on Friday. WOOHOO :D
Probably about 4 or 5, but there's a chance i'll be working Christmas Day....
That'd suck :(
No idea what I'm working as I'm checking the rota in work later on today. Not really fussed this year when I'm working, but it won't be a huge deal considering my contracted hours.

I knew I'd left something off my Christmas list.:D
(YUP I also have to work my birthday).
Never worked my birthday. Always use holiday for it :)
6 days of work until I have my Christmas break! :D
and I get paid for one of the days off inbetween also! :D
and I get paid for one of the days off inbetween also! :D
Get paid Christmas day, boxing day and new years day.
No idea why it's just in local agreements or contract can't remember which, they have to roster us, but we don't work :D

I finish on Friday, and then dont go back until the 2nd.
Mustnt grumble, havent had any time off since October, so it will be nice, and I might finally catch up with all the stuff ive skyplussed at last!
Working Christmas Eve then back in on the 29th :/
Me too :) Don't mind working Xmas Eve as otherwise I just go mad wanting to open pressies (even though I have none to open this year!), but I'd quite like a break between Xmas and New Year to spend with Phil and some friends.
OK only 3 works left now although that does equate to 36 hours of work :( + travelling time
Think of Faysh when you are working as he has 60 hours left ;D
actually thats not true as he has just done 4 hours of that 60 lol

We have mandatory holiday between Christmas and New Year, so it doesn't come out of our annual allowance.. which is great :D
We're the same Kate the whole factory is shutdown from just before xmas to after new years. :) and it doesn't come out of our annual allowance.
Well the fitters are in doing some maintenance but they don't count :)
2 works to go :) 24 hours left :)

We have mandatory holidays at Christmas because the school is shut, but they make us take it out of our allowance, costing me 5 days holiday this year :/

None. I got home on Friday and that's me until the 5th of Jan \o/
Including today, 7 more days of work. Finish on the 23rd but they expect us back on January 2nd. We'll be the only company in this industry at work that day, plus it's a Friday. Might roll in on Monday the 5th instead :D
Same here Davey, we have mandatory holiday between xmas and new year which comes out of our allowance. (usually works out at 2.5 days although this year it's 3).
What gets really awkward is that Lotus have a habit of then giving their staff extra holiday as a result of their annual pay and conditions negotiations (for example this year they've got xmas eve and 2nd Jan extra) but we don't get that holiday so we've got a choice between booking those days out of our allowance or coming into work to support a client who isn't here (usually means we end up doing out own internal organisation type stuff which doesn't get done during the year or tidying the office etc, or playing games...)
Works fine for those in the main IT office but I'm out in one of the client offices so if I come in I end up literally sitting here by myself so I tend to take those days off too. I was determined to take the 2nd off anyway as we only do a half day friday, I sure as hell wasn't coming in just for a friday morning!

I would've had to take 7 days holiday if I wasn't working on Thursday and Friday this week. The school breaks up on Wednesday afternoon, but it's still open all week. Thankfully Thursday and Friday should be exceptionally quiet, and we'll likely be kicked out nice and early on Friday :)
zero works left now :)
hurrah :D

3 to go! :D
1 day until 3 days off :D
Minimum of 32 hours left to work, I say minimum as I will undoubtedly have to do more to make sure everything is sorted before xmas. As it is that 32 includes 4 hours of overtime.

It's been confirmed - no work til next year.
4, don't finish til 4pm on 24th :-(
Didn't really mind when I was local, but it's a pain now especially with the clients all finishing earlier.

I hereby declare that I dont have to go to work until next year!!!
Woooooooo hoooooooooo!
:D
I'm working Christmas Eve, 27th, 28th, New Year's Eve and New Year's Day.
The joys of retail, only not working Boxing Day because I booked it off. In hindsight I should have booked more off when I started there.

Said to my mate earlier that in the interview when they said have you got any holidays booked I should have said Yes, I go away on the 5th of December & come back the 4th of December 09 :p
we're working all those days too, it's not just retail :p Some of our lads are working Christmas day too. Luckily I escaped that this year!
You get to enjoy Christmas though ;) But that's another topic all together I'm sure.

;D When I worked at Lloyds last year, I made sure I had Christmas booked off immediately :D

Bad mood ahoy :angry:
Been told today that I am in Monday now. Less than 3 hours before the end of my shift - really pissed off now :(
They didn't even tell me! Only checked as someone mentioned something about a swap for Xmas eve.
****ing ****ers :/
The people I work with piss me off and the atmosphere is ****e at the moment, so I'd rather not be there. Yay :D
Had a good system at BHS years ago. As a low level manager I got 25th-28th, then worked 30th-2nd so the main management team could get a break.
Suited me well anyway. That was actually a much better atmosphere :(

I'm actually a bit upset at losing so much work :o Not just the money, but I've missed all the Christmasy stuff like Secret santa, Fancy dress, quiz, team lunch and the team night out :(
faysh has a 12hour day shift and 2x12hour night shifts left then off til the 5th woo :D
Josh goes back to school on the 5th too.
Edit Faysh has to work the 27th :(
