I get the bank holiday off but i'm here at work atm
It's dead!

I'm just dossing, boss is off and there's literally nothing to do but deal with queries so i'm gonna chill

Seems pointless to be here but if they want to pay me i'm not going to fight it Cool

I would have been in if I didn't book it off - I am in on the 27th/28th however and I expect it to be absolutely dead bar the odd call for a service tech.

Yup, I'm on shift till 19:00 tonight, then probably have to walk home cos the buses finish at 18:30 (and the bike is off the road)

....then back in again at 19:00 tomorrow and Boxing Day, ready for some 12 hour night shifts Confused

Bur then I'm off work all week and thru to the New Year

I am working all through, I dont have to but if I don't work, I don't get paid. The Chinese do not celebrate Christmas so I will go in for a few hours just to make sure they are doing the right things, you can't leave them to their own devices.
Then on Friday morning a 3 hour flight home to the Philippines to spend a week with my family before coming back to Shanghai again. Thumbs Up

Same here, if I don't book it off formally as holiday, which I couldn't really do anyway as everyone wanted the same days around christmas off, I don't get paid for it

I'd rather work and be paid than not anyway, christmas is shit tbh, it's for little kids, good if you've got them I guess but otherwise it's nice food and sleepy times Thumbs Up

Only clinic we've had on today has been physiotherapy actually, and the first patient for that was 20 minutes late then decided she didn't need the treatment! Some people! Rolling Eyes
