We're lucky enough to have the weekend between xmas and new years off with pay every year. But someone in each department has to be here to answer phones and put out any fires that may come up. I volunteered so that I can use the vacation days at a later time.
-
I also elected to come in in exchange for bonus vacay days. I am about to watch Price Is Right and considering ordering a pizza.

I tried to get into that last week and couldn't make it through two episodes. So much of the dialogue being in another language was bothersome to me, which is odd, because other shows that are like that don't annoy me. Everyone's microphones seem really far away from them as well, the vocals are muffled no matter how much I turn it up.
Lilyhammer, I have some serious audiophile issues with you!

I work in higher ed. I've been off since the 19th and return on the 6th.

Sound is ok for me. That said, I'm open to any binge watching recommendations for the next 4 days.

I only got Christmas day off. Had a half day on Christmas Eve. It's slow and cold as hell in the office.

Don't do that. It's horrifyingly terrible.

I am hard at work today. Was on a network without internet for several hours today. My job isn't so bad so I guess I shouldn't complain. I would prefer to be the only one in the office but my intern is here (he get no paid vacation) and someone else is working remotely.

i took yesterday off to brew beer. it was a last-minute decision. i was dressed in work clothes (slacks, dress shirt), all ready to head to the office when decided that i didn't need to go in. so i didn't. ended up brewing in my work clothes which was a bit silly. i had a turkey sandwich for lunch.
in the office today. gotta agree with ggw - great time to catch up on stuff you've fallen behind on. i think there are 3 or 4 people, out of 30, on my floor today. i suspect there were about as many yesterday.

my girlish figure . . . thanks you

I figured you guys would have off today as it is a government holiday. Do you work for one of the rural trash collection companies that are privately owned?

i'm at work....our holidays really suck here
new years day
memorial day
july 4th
labor day
thanksgiving (and day after)
xmas
also we don't close for snow....so we have to use vacation days if we don't come in...might be using one of those tomorrow
-
we get the same as yours + Good Friday.
we get paid if they decide to close down due to snow...I guess it's one of the benefits of being an exempt employee...and we don't ever make it up ;D

I get the same days as you. We don't close either but I can "work from home". I prefer to come in as I like getting out of the house and I love driving in the snow.

i'm exempt as well..but somehow they have said they don't have to pay us if we don't want to use vacation time.
for example.....during the blizzard years ago when we had like 20" of snow..they said "office is open, use vacation time or don't get paid if you don't want to come in"
no one came in obviously...office parking lot wasn't even plowed apparently. we had the option of not getting paid for a days work instead of using vacation time if we wanted to.
i'm not sure that's kosher with labor laws etc..but thats what happens

We didn't close during the blizzards either but they gave us the option to make up the time during a one month period. Current boss is more liberal and we can just work from home during storm.

Damn...sounds like you guys work for some shitty companies if those are the rules they enforce.
