They can't be closed or the people wouldn't have been able to get in.

If they sell a car or two during the party, the party not only gets paid for, it becomes deductable.

It used to happen to me every year.
Not the car sales thing of course, that would have been weord when working for the NHS...

It just seemed that as everyone else was winding down, slacking off, chopsing and wandering round with snackies, I was given a last minute task and was working like a demon. Everyone would be putting their coats on and all, "Have a lovely Christmas! Bye!" and I'd be cursing like Daffy Duck with at least another hour's graft ahead of me.

I would be so enraged that I would cut my nose off to spite my face. People offering help were turned away with a, "No, you go home and enjoy yourself" through gritted teeth.

Funny, but I miss it. This time next year I hope to be going through it all again

With better grace this time though.

You have my sympathy, Jim. But look at it this way - you were only missing a crappy buffet with people you work with. The people you really want to celebrate with are in the house your job pays for, and they wouldn't start without you for the world.

Making money is more important than saving lives these days. Unless of course you are making money off of saving lives.

Yup. We got exactly bupkus for Yule this year. In fact, less than bupkus. They actually took away Xmas Eve as a paid holiday. Oh, we still have to take the day off, we just don't get paid for it.

And I bet you didn't get penalty rates on saturnalia, did you?
