No time off around Christmas

So I just found out that 1. My office is only closed on Christmas Day, not Christmas Eve or the day after Christmas, and 2. I'm out of vacation time for the year and my boss won't let me take either of those days off paid.

So I can either beg to take those days off unpaid, or I can be the only person in the office who shows up either of those two days, and mostly sit around with nothing to do.

Fun!

Yeah, that's lame. I can't imagine there's much environmental lawyering to be done on either of those days.

You should just get drunk and watch a DVD on your computer or something.

If no one else is in the office. Bring the wifey and fulfill that office fantasy you've always had. :thumb:

I love working around the holidays. Everyone's gone and I can get stuff done really quickly.

That said, we have Christmas Eve, Boxing Day (EPL extravaganza), New Year's Eve and January 2nd off paid.

Sux 2 b u, zeus.

Yeah, but Jews like holidays too! Oh, and I married a Catholic, and she might like me to be with her on Christmas eve.

We expect you to set a record for GRB posting on those days, hz.

There's always someone who deserves to be sued.

There'll probably be a huge potato chip truck crash on Christmas Eve, with salt and oil everywhere.

They'll need you, heyzeus, to pick up the pieces.
