I'm like.. the only one at work, think I might go home or something.. the only problem is I live 45 mins north of where I work, and my familys big xmas dinner is tonight, so that would be a big waste of gas.. 45 mins down, then back up, then back down, then back up again later..

Atleast I took the camry today! My 240 uses 1/2 a tank of gas a day going to and from work (like 35-40 miles each way)

Anywho.. is anyone else working today??

No work for me, which is actually somewhat surprising. I work in a call center and we rarely close.

What sort of work do you do? Perhaps, in the Grand American Tradition you should voice your displeasure by doing a half-assed job today...maybe even quarter-assed.

Just tell them to "shut-down and restart" and then hang up.

Or, tell them that they just broke the internet and ruined the fun for everyone. No more free p0rn, music, movies or offers of pills that make your pen15 larger.

I didn't have to work today thankfully. I do have a paid vacation off the the next week that doesn't take away from my vacation time. I wouldn't mind working today, I'm a little board, and wouldn't mind the extra money at time 1 1/2 pay.

I'm on call today (well always), and got a few calls today. It's better to be on call than at work, so I appreciate that.

Ventured out to the grocery store, and it was a MAD HOUSE. That's what happens when Christmas Eve is the day after a Level 3 Snow Emergency. Glad I don't work retail anymore, and I pity those that do.

Quote »Christmas eve, Christmas day, New Years eve, and New Years day.[/quote]Same here, I worked a 4-9 tonight and a noon to 4 tomorrow. Damn these video stores. I'm telling everyone on the forum to watch "A Christmas Story" on TBS, it's free, and on 24 hours. Not to mention the fact that I have to work till close on new years eve, and I'll probably miss midnight... Bull.
