How the Grinch Stole My Christmas!

[dougiezerts]

So, we got our Christmas week scedules, recently. Not only are most of us working Christmas Day, most of us are working a manditory 6-day work week!
And to add insult to injury, the Company has taken a "No vacation days allowed, this week" attitude!
I know: "Your lucky you have a job." If I say that enough times, maybe I'll believe it. . .

[Kristev]

What kind of work are you in? Even my job is closed on Christmas.

[dougiezerts]

Directory assistance. They never shut down, sadly!

[Aethian]

Well bring potluck and hope it's quiet enough to get more then stuffed with food.

[dougiezerts]

I think they'll give us food, at the very least.

[Food Lady]

Aww. Here, I'll fax you some rum cake.

[dougiezerts]

With real rum? Thanks!

My fiance is a baker. Usually baking starts at 4 am.

All Christmas week, he's baking overnight--meaning he gets out around 4 am.

At least you get to work your normal hours?

[dougiezerts]

I feel for him! Yes, at very least it's my normal 10:30AM-6:30PM shift.

You and FoodLady both know that I can't be baked into a cake, right?

I'm human after all.

I can bake a cake, but I cannot be a baked cake.



Now back to your regularly scheduled topic.

...but I cannot be a baked cake.

With enough rum I'll bet you're thoroughly baked...

Are you SERIOUS!? They're not even cutting it to just a few hours so you're not there all day?!

Hell I thought directory assistance was automated these days....I can't remember the last time I talked to a human on that.....
