inkman Posted April 14, 2006 Posted April 14, 2006 Anyone else stuck at work? I am the only office personel in today, the other one hundred are off. Ugh.
Like A Mofo Posted April 14, 2006 Posted April 14, 2006 Im here at work all day. This is the new America, striving to make people forget about Easter and Christmas for what they REALLY mean and replace it with the "holiday" word and retailers showinv generic holiday gifts down out throats, and making us work till the bitter end, skipping lunches, working massive amounts of OT for a salaried job that was once occupied by two people. taking more and more holidays away from people, almost making employees feel "guilty" about taking days off, taking holidays etc...it is getting bad.
meazza Posted April 14, 2006 Posted April 14, 2006 Anyone else stuck at work? I am the only office personel in today, the other one hundred are off. Ugh. 662031[/snapback] will be working from 2-10
inkman Posted April 14, 2006 Author Posted April 14, 2006 Well, at least I'm getting "holiday" pay. Too bad it's for 8 hours when I work 12. Please don't get me started on losing 12 hours on Easter with no relevant compensation.
inkman Posted April 14, 2006 Author Posted April 14, 2006 will be working from 2-10 662040[/snapback] Oooh, the drunk shift. I worked that for a few years and didn't go home after work one night. Ahhh, memories...sort of.
meazza Posted April 14, 2006 Posted April 14, 2006 Oooh, the drunk shift. I worked that for a few years and didn't go home after work one night. Ahhh, memories...sort of. 662044[/snapback] heh, i'm part time. basically when the office is opened, there is no free desk for me so i'm stuck coming when the office is closed. that will all change when i get my bachelor in june. can't complain though as i get paid as well as a lot of guys i know who work full time.
meazza Posted April 14, 2006 Posted April 14, 2006 I'm here! 662046[/snapback] Heh, no Sopranos talk in a while. Are you depressed that the beloved Vito will be headed for that great gay bar in the sky.
Chilly Posted April 14, 2006 Posted April 14, 2006 Anyone else stuck at work? I am the only office personel in today, the other one hundred are off. Ugh. 662031[/snapback] Rick Perry decided to close the governor's office but leave us open. The prick.
Nervous Guy Posted April 14, 2006 Posted April 14, 2006 yeah...I'm at work to...trying to save mankind from all manner of diseases...T-Bone is working too....have I ever mentioned that T-Bone is my coworker? 'nuff said.
rockpile Posted April 14, 2006 Posted April 14, 2006 Yes, I am at work too. I would have done a "work from home" today, but I had a meeting I had to physically attend and it is raining anyway.
buffaloboyinATL Posted April 14, 2006 Posted April 14, 2006 present and accounted for. I am working all day.
Just Jack Posted April 14, 2006 Posted April 14, 2006 I've got today off, but that because I've already got my 40 hours in for the week.
Johnny Coli Posted April 14, 2006 Posted April 14, 2006 yeah...I'm at work to...trying to save mankind from all manner of diseases...T-Bone is working too....have I ever mentioned that T-Bone is my coworker? 'nuff said. 662092[/snapback] We're all here, too, saving the world. But, we get 15 vacation days, 5 sick days, a floating holiday, and the week between X-mas and New Years off. To tell you the truth, I don't know of anybody that has today off. In Boston, Monday is a holiday because of the marathon. I'll probably use that as my floater.
KD in CA Posted April 14, 2006 Posted April 14, 2006 I'm just wondering how many of you who are complaining about working would instead have attended Stations of the Cross or the reading of the Passion? Except for Christmas, I've never expected religious holidays to be work holidays for the obvious reason that we can't close for every holiday and can't have certain people claiming religious bias if we don't close for their holiday. In most cases, I would think that people can schedule a vacation day if the religious holiday holds that much personal significance.
kegtapr Posted April 14, 2006 Posted April 14, 2006 To tell you the truth, I don't know of anybody that has today off. 662118[/snapback] I do.

Ideo firmiter propono, adiuvante gratia tua, de cetero me non peccaturum peccandique occasiones proximas fugiturum. Amen.
