The "Working on Christmas Eve" Thread.

Been busy mending shoes and selling brollies, i’m loving the rain today

Not working this xmas for a change so i’ve GOT to be all festive and sociable.Just wrapped everything and made a right mess. Will definately be riding Cannock on Boxing day to escape for a few hours!!

A few minor bike fixes (for customers) and last minute small purchases this morning. Now wondering which is the lesser evil: staying here bored or packing up and getting wet riding home.

Off home in a Mo, but before I go..

MrsBouys texted and said Canary Wharfs mental and all carparks a full and turning folks away..

For those that live in That London obviously..

Ta ta folks.

Drive/ride/fly safely.

Working all day today and tomorrow in emergency surgical admissions.

It’s busy. 😕

right…ive had enough for the day.
whole site shuts down for christmas but nobody told the remote indian developers, dont they know its christmas eve ffs. i havent stopped all day, oh well…time for church (and by church i do indeed mean pub)

Been driving round the lakes seeing customers, phoned the office and they all have gone home ! Not happy 🙁

Had to go in this morning to deal with whatever post the Royal Mail saw fit to deliver, get it sorted for the girls to process and get the cash banked, because one of our clients insist on their winter draw being done on Christmas Eve.
Fortunately there wasn’t too much, and most people were away before mid-day! Hurrah! That’s it until 2013. 😀

Finishing @ 6 😆
spent most of the day rigging up pumps to shift water from places it should`nt be 🙄
Drinks with daughter and grand kids tonight, lunch with son & daughter + grand kids tomorrow 😆 followed by a night shift 🙄

Mid way through 5 x 12 Hr shifts… 2 nights to go.

Don’t know how many times I’ve nearly thrown in the towel on this run of shifts.

If you can’t get through to the out of hours GP… Don’t take it out on us !! We are way way beyond being able to cope.

Paramedic Practitioner…

my oh is at work till 10, manning emergency out of hours service for the council. i’m in the studio trying to sort out my inputs, after i’ve eaten this steak.

Short shift today. Watched team assemble massive buffet, then later try and divvy out said buffet as far too much food was brought in.

I’ve been programming a geocoder,it now works, so I can move from office to the sofa. Love the emergency services to death, but us SMEs have a tough time over Xmas as well.

Wasn’t supposed to be, but did a few bits remotely most of the afternoon as we had “issues” relaxing now mind you

Brack, Paramedic Practitioner is what I do too…which service do you work for?
Thankfully my last ambulance shift was yesterday, no more 999 work or referrals until mid January, just some moonlighting with custody work at the moment to offset the cost of Christmas!
