Saw the thread about VM working other Christmas, but thought I'd open it up a bit....

So - are you working over Christmas / New Year?

What do you do, and are you getting paid extra?

Me? Last day tomorrow (Friday) and return on the 2nd Jan.

last day tomorrow, and back on the 2nd.. but I am doing remote support on the 24th and 28th, which just entails checking the system in the morning, and the odd bit during the day, and fixing any problems that I am contacted for (which hopefully there shouldn't be any) .. and I will get paid something for it..

Nope, we always shut over Christmas, so couldn't work even if I wanted to (yeah like I'd do that!!!)

Have to work Christmas Eve which is a bummer, and back on the 2nd.

I'm one of the lucky people who managed to get time off for Christmas. At the end of Friday that's it until the New Year.

Hmmm, I'm actually unemployed over Christmas - it's my last day tomorrow (although I do finish at lunchtime), and don't start the new job until the 2nd - looks like I'll have to spend the next 10 days sitting around in my pants (again...)

Supposed to finish tomorrow at my discretion until 3rd Jan but there is a new service going live on one of our customer networks tonight. If it goes pear shaped there will be a lot of hacked off people (some of you may be on cf ;)) and as I designed the technical solution I will get a kicking and it'll be a long weekend.
