    Just found out I am working Xmas eve 9pm till 3am then Xmas day 4pm till 9pm, so i'll basicly get up on Xmas, eat then go to work, :/

    Ah well, at least I get more money for working Xmas day (think it's either double or triple time).

    Also means I won't be working new years eve, so thats always better :D

    Just wanted to complain a bit I guess, so ignore this thread if you like, or complain yourself, it makes you feel a bit better!

    I am sorry to hear this twisted. You seem like a good guy and no one should work on Christmas. BTW are you troll yet?

    Thats pretty bad, but at least you get New Years Eve off, in my opinion the best part of the Christmas period ;)

    I'm from Liverpool. I was making enough money online not to work, but I went away for the summer and my sites were all offline so everything fell apart.

    Came back though and I'm starting again from scratch but It's too time consuming so I've got a job to tie me over. Start on the 2nd so at least I can chill for a bit.

    Shame your working but as you said, time & a half/double will be worth it!

    Have a boss new year to make up for it!!

    Yeah that's one of them. I'm really trying to sway away from MySpace now though. I have a few upcoming projects in new categories. Work should be fun though, hopefully not for too long... Just until I get my web empire back up :)

    Seasons greetings to everyone. :)
