Anyone else working over the holidays......I've got the Christmas shift this year, Dec.9th till Jan. 9th.

Sorry to hear that Dave.
I am very fortunate. I have only 5 more days of work in December.

As a point of conversation, how do you guys receive your mail?

You should walk me through it step by step with details.

Yep! I'm working all of Christmas week (Sun - Sat), and the whole week after!
Except for Christmas Day and New Year's Day...

Everyone else is taking vacation!

It'll be really quiet around here!

Are you gonna be out on the ship, Dave?

I must work Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, New Year's Eve, and New Year's Day.

I also had to work Thanksgiving.

So glad to hear you will be on duty to guide Santa through the Great Lakes

Better get working on that list......and find a cigar to leave with the milk and cookies

Our schedule is every week is opposite of the previous, and the next. So we will never work both Christmas and New Years in the same year. This week I work on Christmas Eve and Day, and am off on New Years Eve and day. Which is exactly the way I like it!

The perks of being a teacher. I get off on the 18th and don't go back until Jan. 5th.
