"Christmas is indeed sucking for me this year."

Missed both my friend's birthdays because I've got no money. Got no money because student loan company mucked up, then post office mucked up, now I haven't got forms I need for loan, even though I applied in August. Then left Uni (but I'm still colecting my first instalment), but didn't enter my new job in the right pay period to get money before Christmas. Have £14 left at the bottom of my £1800 overdraft. Not good.

Aahh, I see. Understandable now!
I was more than happy to agree to work Christmas Eve thinking it was normal, then to find out only a quarter of the people are coming in..
Thank Gordon I don't have to deal with crazy, rushed customers, though. You'd just wanna punch them.

Whats your job?

Not when youve been contracted to work weekends.

I've worked all the Christmas eve's that i've had jobs..if that makes. Though I refuse to work Boxing Day..since it's the best family day of the year!

I loved working Christmas eve because everyone is happy and in good moods!

Last Christmas was quite good. I spend all day working in Sainsburys, and no matter how busy it got they never put me on tills. I sent the day working on Self Checkouts and supervising and since it's the only time of the year we have music i spend a lot of the day dancing to Christmas tunes! Then after work went out and got drunk with the boys!

Last year i had to work the 20th-24th, then the 26th-28th.

I handed in my notice on the 21st so the 28th was my last day, otherwise i would have been working from the 28th until new years day.
