I'm a charge nurse and I get to work today and tomorrow. I've worked every Xmas since 2003 and it's getting boring now.
Started a new job last month so I get the crappy duty done by my manager.
Wife and baby will be living it up.
On a plus note I get to go to antur stiniog on the 27th. 😉
Joys of the NHS, been working nights since Monday. Finish boxing day morning and off for three days.
I don't mind, don't have kids so happy to work. As long as I get boxing day to see my mum , her fella, dad, step mum and sister it's good enough for me.
2-10 with an OAP, cooking/eating Christmas dinner and watching John Wayne films, and a stash of home made mince pies and Xmas pud nicked from home for us to chomp on in the evening 😀
Merry Christmas..
Nurse in charge.
The wife is working a morning shift until 2 then I'm on morning shift tomorrow from 7, so quiet one for us. Having diner with our neighbours this evening. Both ATCO's so no alcohol whatsoever. 🙁
The wife is off to work a night shift shortly also doing new years eve as she's too polite to say no and some of the staff like to take the pee. She's a nurse.
I'm doing voluntary work and was in yesterday and will be in again tomorrow.

Yep, started 8pm Christmas eve and finished 9.30 this morning, home for lunch and pressies with the kids then back again from 8pm tonight until 9.30 boxing day morning.
Yep, I've had a great day at work. I supported someone to go to a xmas dinner with a bunch of other service users at a our drop in centre, cooked and managed voluntarily by my colleagues. Had a dinner there myself, played some pool and carried a lot of food and crockery up down many stairs between kitchen and table. Also, a nice surprise that I'm off the sleepover shift which was rota'd for tonight and able to watch Doctor Who.
nights tonight but flying around in a helicopter is hardly at the coal face! Still away from family though:(
Boarding kennel and cattery owners here; started 5.30am, just finished 'bedtime walks'. A couple of hours to ourselves in between for a training run and cheeky blast on the Five (me) and SC TB ('er). Love Christmas and soo thankful to have a successful business and the health to enjoy life.
