I expect so, unfortunately private jets don't stop flying over Xmas, and hence don't stop breaking so I suppose I'm in for it

When I worked at a 24hr Texaco a few years ago I was thrown on to the Christmas eve-Christmas morning night shift. Wasn't too happy about it so I raided the alcohol store and thre a bottle of Bacardi and a load of Malibu down...

Came time to clean he place, started mopping and tripped over the bucket, fell in to a display and knocked everything everywhere, soaked the floor then stumbled off to the office where I went to sleep for a couple of hours until the supervisor came in

Never happy

I'm only off the 24/25th so the most important days, would have liked to see the family on the 26th but i don't fancy a 320mile trip then a nightshift.

I hope it snows this year
