Merry Christmas folks. Any TB'ers who are at work today, feel free to post here!

I'll start.

I'm working Christmas Day. Boo hoo. =).

My mom is flying in tonight for a visit so it's all good.

Also, I got my wife a snuggie for Christmas. YAY!

Have a great Christmas everyone.

I am done at 9am which is in 90 minutes but atleast I dont have to come in tonight. This has been my schedule for the past 10 years so pretty much routine for me..
Merry Christmas!!!!!!

I don't know if I really fot this group, but I had to go in this morning. We were over staffed, so I got to take a "personal day" and come home. I will be working tonight, though. Merry Christmas.

You all have fun at work!!!!

I feel for ya'll. I don't have to work today, but get to go put in 12+ hrs (however long it takes) tomorrow moving the local hospital to their new facility. Double Time and a half FTW.

Got to work at 7:30 am and off at 1pm. Bummer. Only two people on staff working today at the hotel, and 6 rooms occupied. Bleh. No overtime, just straight pay. I wouldn't mind nearly so much if it was overtime... Oh well. At least it's been real quiet so far. Go home and open up the bottle of German icewine I bought for the occasion, and eat leftovers I brought home from the Christmas Eve party last night...

Working tonight breaks the christmas spirit a bit..... ;(

We've been playing christmas songs the whole december month , so it's gonna be a bit of a relief tommorow ; We won't have to play any , anymore !!!!

(there is just the "Auld Lang Syne" left on the 31st )

Bob Clayton · #10 12-25-2009, 09:56 AM

i'll be working tonight 7p-3a

MrTAteMyBalls · #11 12-25-2009, 10:07 AM

we'll get through it folks. If it helps, I am SO bored at work right now. I'm a police dispatcher and it is super slow today. Looking forward to getting mom and dad from the airport this evening.....we'll be having mexican for christmas dinner. My homemade refried beans, green chile, tacos, tamales(these arent homemade but i picked em up from tamale kitcken yesterday). Can't wait for that smothered burrito, man!!!

Lady Kayri · #12 12-25-2009, 10:13 AM

Durn. Wish we had a decent Mexican resturant here. Not even a Taco Bell... Grief, having you go thru a list of what you're eating tonight makes me hungry for REAL Mexican tacos, quesadillas, etc. *Sigh*

MrTAteMyBalls · #13 12-25-2009, 10:47 AM

hehe. i recently moved to denver and i have fallen in love with the mexican food here. I'm from Louisiana, and we have our share of great local food....but the mexican down there is nothing like this. i also discovered chorizo sausage for the first time when i moved here. it is THE BEST THING I HAVE EVER EATEN. Better than bacon, even....and that's saying something.

OK, minor derail for food.

1/2 way through the work day here! YAH!

Have you been to Jack-n-Grill? There is one on Federal not far from Invesco, and one in Littleton. I've been to both. The one on Federal is the original, usually always packed. The one in Littleton is only a few months old, and all brand new inside. Last time I was there, we were the only ones there eating.

MrTAteMyBalls · #15 12-25-2009, 12:27 PM

When you recover from Christmas, put Benny's at 301 E. 7th on your 'must do" list. Always great Mexican food! http://www.bennysrestaurant.com/

And Merry Christmas!

.....BTW - as a radio broadcaster I have spent my share of Christmas eves and Christmas days sitting in a booth and spinning Christmas records. Not the worst job on a holiday by a long shot, but pertty isolated. My best wishes go out to all who work today!

Crass! · #19 12-25-2009, 03:06 PM

I'm not working, but I am the worldwide on-call syseng if something blows up

Falkner · #20 12-25-2009, 07:04 PM

I just got back from work a little while ago. I worked a split today - 7-11 in the morning and 3-7 this evening. Bummer.
