XChris1632X Posted December 24, 2008 Report Share Posted December 24, 2008 Hey look at it this way, at least you are still in the country and you get to at least see family and friends. It could be worse. Dont get me wrong, I am not complaining I signed up for what I am doing. But it makes it hard to feel bad for others.

You signed up for that. I guess I also signed up for working on X-Mas eve. Either way it blows, and I cant wait to get out of here today and spend the holiday with people I like instead of annoying co-workers.

XChris1632X Posted December 24, 2008 Report Share Posted December 24, 2008 Yeah it blows. Make the best of it though. As long as you dont have to work Christmas day. I am fine with missing Christmas totally this year, I dont know if it is a mental thing because I know I cant be there or what but I dont have any problems just telling myself Christmas isnt coming around for me this time. We are really lucky though here. Everyone is doing a good job making sure that people are doing alright for the holidays and enjoying it as much as possible. We have really good food, tons of random goodies, tons of packages from families, and even a little party (with no damn beer) for us tomorow. I havent looked recently but I know the weather has been shitty for you guys. Hopefully its better now, but I know you sure as hell not enjoying the 75* that I am.

I couldnt care less if Christmas comes this year or not. I praying that it is because Im here and because I bent my rim last night and not because Im being a scrooge. Im going to try to be cheerful for everyone elses sake, but at this point thats going to take some effort. Stay safe over there man, and thank you for what you do for us here in the states.

If not I don't understand why you would do that. I rather sleep. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mostly do it because most people I work with are much older and have big family things with kids/ect. It really hurts them to work, but it's no big deal to me. On the home on the computer or at work not that much difference to me. :bangbang: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
