Sometimes, good things do come to those who wait
We schedule vacation at the start of the year. I had one week scheduled for December. Lo and behold, my sergeant came up to me and told me that I had an additional two weeks of vacation that they had to give me or else, and that I would be taking three weeks off this month.
I'm off from now until Christmas. w00t! And who said the bosses couldn't be generous if you hold their feet to the coals?

Very nice! A simular thing happned here. On this project we were told "We will work as much as possible. Max Overtime. Only X-Mas would we get off."
I was cool with this, but then, the guy flipflopped due to pressure from the managers. Now I have the week from the 24th to the 2nd off if I want it. ^_^
Might still work X-Mas eve Boxin day, though. Mega-Uber OT.

You get OT for holidays? I get what amounts to comp time, but they call it "holiday time" to dodge the labor laws. OT would've been nice, but I'll go ahead and take the v-time.

Worked the holidays last year.
Christmas Eve Night, Boxing Day Night, Christmas Night and (sadly) New Years Eve Night (NY Day early morning)
Each day was worth about 300-400 bucks. Can't complain.
But this year, with my wonderful Senie finally here for Christmas, I'm making sure we at least have the chance to spend that together.

<cough cough> 23 X-Mases without Senie around </cough cough> This is only # 2 (if you count Boxing day for the year before last). I'm happy so long as she's in the same time-zone. ^_^

Look who you're talking to. We've already proven that nearly all the guys here that are NOT perverts are women...and most of THEM are perverts, too!. ^_^

SQUEE!!!
It's this cute, little... I think it was called a blue spruce or something. It's nice and full and shorter than me! We even went and got ornaments and lights and a star! We would have gotten an angel, but they were creepy. I'm so excited!!

I don't think my girlfriend would appreciate Kaos making a bloody stain on her tree.
