I get off at 4pm on Christmas eve, and go back in after boxing day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-working-over-the-holidays#post-40193 Thu, 22 Dec 2011 17:53:54 +0000 lemondrop 40193@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>These two weeks are the only time my school has vacation. We get gifted one week off, the other we are expected to work- luckily I'm able to work from home and only go in for meetings and to drop off and pick up paperwork. The swelling in my feet and my blood pressure were waaay down this week since I can work from the Lazy Boy- I love it! After vacation I'm going to continue this setup since we have no idea when labor will happen- hopefully sooner rather than later!</p> <p>Enjoy your quiet day tomorrow, its nice to be left alone at work and to have things quiet! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-working-over-the-holidays#post-40177 Thu, 22 Dec 2011 17:30:18 +0000 mrsjyw 40177@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yesterday was my last day in the office. Thursdays are always my work from home days. And I have PTO until January 3rd. I'll be logging on/off e-mails tomorrow and throughout next week, but for the most part WOOHOO CHRISTMAS VACAY! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-working-over-the-holidays#post-40172 Thu, 22 Dec 2011 17:09:58 +0000 tessabella76 40172@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I work tomorrow and then I'm off until January 3rd! Yay!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-working-over-the-holidays#post-40170 Thu, 22 Dec 2011 17:08:59 +0000 twodoghouse 40170@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am leaving in 20 minutes and not coming back till January 3rd. I can't even begin to explain how ecstatic I am about it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-working-over-the-holidays#post-40165 Thu, 22 Dec 2011 16:55:19 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 40165@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@chopsuey119: I work for the only bank in the country that is open 24/7, except for Christmas day... which means any day the Federal Reserve is open. Luckily, I'm in the technology department and I don't have to worry about working everyday. For the first time in 5 years, we happen to get the Monday after Christmast and New Years off, since the Fed will be closed. YAY!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-working-over-the-holidays#post-40156 Thu, 22 Dec 2011 16:47:56 +0000 DpeachLu 40156@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I believe I have the weekend off - as usual and Monday off. I work tomorrow.. most people I know are off starting tomorrow :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-working-over-the-holidays#post-40154 Thu, 22 Dec 2011 16:45:33 +0000 BabyLove 40154@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm fortunate to have off this weekend and the Monday following. I also always feel bad for the people that have to work. It sucks. But I imagine they make up for it on another day, at least I hope so. I am at work now and have been getting inundated with emails from everyone that they'll be off. I work in the mental health profession so this is high season, tomorrow should be CRAZY (no pun intended :o/) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-working-over-the-holidays#post-40148 Thu, 22 Dec 2011 16:39:46 +0000 mediagirl 40148@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have both Monday's off. I'm working the rest of the time though because our PTO goes June to June - so I need to save up all of my PTO for when the baby comes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-working-over-the-holidays#post-40141 Thu, 22 Dec 2011 16:32:21 +0000 skibobrown 40141@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH and I are in town for the holidays, but both of our employers shut down and force us to take PTO days between Christmas and new years anyways. DH is forced to take 4 days, and I will take 3. It's kind of annoying b/c we wouldn't mind working a couple of those days and being able to use the PTO towards a real vacation later in the year. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-working-over-the-holidays#post-40140 Thu, 22 Dec 2011 16:32:08 +0000 winniebee 40140@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm off all of next week, yahoo! DH usually works at least Christmas Eve or Christmas (he is in the medical field) but he has the whole week off, too!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-working-over-the-holidays#post-40138 Thu, 22 Dec 2011 16:28:20 +0000 chopsuey 40138@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH and I are both home for the holidays! :)<br /> Hope you have Monday off? Usually if Christmas and New Year's falls on a weekend you get Friday or Monday off! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-working-over-the-holidays#post-40135 Thu, 22 Dec 2011 16:26:15 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 40135@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've used up all of my vacation so I'll be the only one in my department here tomorrow. Makes for a quiet day (.... and gives me lots of time to surf on HB - he he). Granted, I have the weekend off, but I feel for the people who have to work during the holidays, like those in the medical fields. </p>
