Days like this, I feel like the Omega Man, a little bit.
Who else is at work when it feels the entire rest of the world is off today? :hi:

I provide tech support for a retailer, so this is 'go time'. Although the stores are so busy they rarely call unless something's on fire. Still gotta be here though :(

7. I'm an administrator in a hospital. |
|
Which would be okay, except I work in a pathology department. Pathology NEVER stops. My whole staff has to be here, too. :-( Luckily, I think I'm going to be able to get us out of here by 4:00. :)
Happy holidays! :hi:

16. Fortunately for me, at least the elective surgeries go down. |
|
My department has a low census and I was on call today (meaning I was scheduled to work, but the first one called off if they didn't need me). Thankfully, they didn't need me! :woohoo: I have to work tomorrow though. :(

5. Half a day isn't too bad. Have you done all your shopping? |
|
Thankfully my SO is off today otherwise there'd be some giftless peeps tomorrow.

8. Not yet, but heading out in a couple of minutes. |
|
We'll probably be let go early - but I don't know what "early" means. Probably an hour.

10. That's about all I was able to give my staff, too. |
|
We're waiting for the lab, it's not my fault. I'd love to get everyone out earlier, but it's just not possible. :-( Hope you get home soon! :hi:

My job is not a place I HATE going to....I actually have fun, so there's that. Plus I don't have anywhere to be tomorrow, no plans, no get togethers .... so it's not a big deal. I DO have to go shopping though, and the time we are "released" will determine whether or not I make the 45 minute trip to the store. Well, that AND the weather. :)

15. Yes, I am "working" as well. |
|
Although earlier I was working, not "working", and I will be later too. This is the eye of the storm.

but so are most of my coworkers, so it's alright. Thankfully most of the people we support are not here, so it's very very quiet. Almost too quiet, if you know what I mean...

17. Shockingly, my corporate overlords are generous this year. |

When Christmas is on a Tuesday or Thursday we get the preceding Monday or following Friday off.

I think that's the first time I've typed "my wife" in reference to the newly minted Mrs. SteppingRazor. Neat! :)
