I'm happy enough, and I hope you are.
Enjoy the break - if you get one - and behave yourselves. All our very best wishes for Christmas and the New Year.

Appropriate Seasonal Felicitations
I have copped a bad shift pattern over Christmas and New Year - 7 pm to 7 am, 23rd to 26th inclusive and 31st to 3rd inclusive. Not too bad, really - lots of sympathy from colleagues, some of whom are female and attractive, a guarantee of a good break next year if I play the guilt thing right with my manager, and four clear days in the middle where I get to see daughters 1 and 2. Oh, and enhanced pay for working three Bank Holidays, which should get me a tank of fuel for the BMW with enough left over for two Mars Bars and a pint of milk. I think it's time-and-a-half. My employer's generosity is boundless.
I'm happy enough, and I hope you are.

All the best to you Richard!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Nikos. Breakfast in the New Year? On me, obvs.
DeleteNaturally it's the good company I appreciate not necessarily the cuisine! It would be great to meet up - I need to pick your BMW 650 brains on few matters arising...
DeleteSuggest a date/time, and a place if the last one didn't thrill you, and we will arrange the Second International Bloggers' (Welsh Region) Breakfast Rally.
DeleteThanks for your entertaining posts throughout the year Richard.
ReplyDeleteHave a very merry Christmas & a prosperous New Year.
Thank you for your kind words, Joe, and the same to you.
DeleteWell that sucks, but odds are you won't be very busy. :)
ReplyDeleteHave a great holiday anyway and enjoy the 4-day break with family.
Cheers.
Nah, it's OK really. And (0133 hrs) it's turning out fairly quiet. I might even get a nap ... Thanks for the good wishes.
DeleteSadly I've already done my festive alcohol limit being only too aware of needing to be sober on Boxing Day.
ReplyDeleteThere's a limit? Oh heck ... didn't know that :)
DeleteHappy Holidays to your and your family Richard.
ReplyDeleteWhile I enjoy the additional few days off with hubby, we don't celebrate any holidays so it is just like any other day for us except the stores are closed.
Enjoy your family time and all the best to you for a wonderful 2013.
Thank you Trobairitz. Same here, with the exeption that, over the holiday period, the shops seem to be open more rather then less. On Christmas Eve, M&S opened at midnight and stayed open all day. Spare a thought for those in the service sector ...
ReplyDeleteLang may yoor lum reek, or as we in the Highlands say, Happy Christmas.
ReplyDeleteBest wishes from some one who has done many many work shifts on xmas and Hogmananny.
ReplyDeleteDespite the work, hope you had a good Christmas and will have a Happy New Year. All the best!
ReplyDeleteThank you all. It's been very quiet, thankfully. Money for old rope, really. I might even get a snooze on company time tonight. Result :)
