Cough, cough, I think I have the black lung. I may need to go home.
For Christmas, Thanksgiving, 4th of July, and Memorial Day weeks you need to have at least worked here for 25 years before you can even think of getting those weeks off. So in about 15 more years I might be able to get it off.

Problem is, it doesn't seem like many people are posting today.

My immediate boss is gone through the 2nd. I've got my list of stuff to work on, but she told me to NOT work too quickly. With so few interruptions, I can post, read, and still get a lot done. Yay! Its a festivus miracle!
This rant is too limited. Working from Dec. 26 to about the second week of January is always a drain. Of course, I don't have a job, so it's different now, but my last five January's were spent mostly in a gymnasium on Monday, Tuesday and Thursday nights watching girls basketball and wrestling. Combine the Christmas Hangover with the spring semester and cold weather and January is easily the most despised month on the calendar.

Do you make your $$$ by touring or did you marry a rich stripper?
I never take vacation the week of Christmas. We always get excused at noon on Christmas Eve (except this year when they gave us the whole day!!). Then the holiday.
I usually get told to go home early all week. I'm not using 40 hours of vacation during a week when I only work 4 or 5 hours per day

Smart woman, unfortunately in my job, I am more likely to need to stay late to get the last min orders taken care of.

With my job its first come first serve, unless you got had that holiday week off last year then you cant take it again. Gives everyone the opportunity to get those holiday weeks off, its nice. With me being there 4 months I dont lose out on a guy who has been there longer.

Working for a union means we have no choice but to go in seniority order.
