The Green Room - Christmas Eve Edition

[clauderainsrm.livejournal.com]

Good morning.

So how many of you - like myself - are at work today?

Comments

[lilerthkwake.livejournal.com]

Not at work yet, but I will be!

ETA: OMG FIIIIIIIIIIRST!

*foiled again*

Someday...

16 hours last night/yesterday

16 hours tonight

16 hours Christmas

It sucks to be poor.

(but then I get 8 days off)

[anchasta.livejournal.com]

I'm at work. :) Only until 2pm...this is almost a break though as I'm back to my cookie baking as soon as I'm home, and it is quiet here on the ole golf course.

[tryslora]

My words for this morning are not at all polite. *sighs*

And yep, at work.

[welfy.livejournal.com]

I'm at work from 9:00-5:30 today. Open 'til close. In retail.

Then the husband and I are driving straight to western PA. 7-hour drive.

[anchasta.livejournal.com]

Jee-ma-nee, what a day! Have a safe drive. I hope it goes quickly for you!

Not I says the Ducky. We made it down to Atlanta in one piece and are now getting ready for Christmas proper.

NO workie for us...

but we don't get paid..that's almost a bloody week and a half no fucking pay..

sorry for the French...

And I gotta make nice to the headmate's old man....

::: wakes up and looks around :::

I AM at work! How'd that happen?


::: silly grin :::

So... progress on the life front. I'm ready for Christmas - I built a computer for my mom and my best friend over the weekend- that was the hard Christmas stuff (well, that and making penuche). I've decided on an apartment and as long as nothing falls through, I'm good to go there.

Much of my stuff is packed and while things are by no means settling down, I'm in OK shape- I'll be much more tired by the 2nd of January, methinks. Lots of crap to deal with, but I feel ok.

I can't wait to give my best friend Derek the computer I built for him! It's awesome! And the diamond earrings I bought for my girlfriend Jessi (stargazerkisses)! This is going to be an awesome couple of days, if I can just relax!

[lilerthkwake.livejournal.com]

OMG DIAMOND EARRINGS?!?! I want my boyfriend to buy me sparklies. *pouts*

[xo-kizzy-xo.livejournal.com]

I'd be at work otherwise. I made the mistake of stopping in there yesterday and my boss nearly tackled me. Between the massive throngs of customers and the ineptness of some of my coworkers, she's more than ready for the loony bin.

But alas, I have to go in there later to pick up stuff for my world-famous holiday spinach dip *groan*

*hugs to everyone stuck at work* I know exactly how you guys feel.

::: hugs back :::

Stay tough, my friend.

[baxaphobia.livejournal.com]

I'll be at work in a little less than an hour. We have to figure out what is going on with imafarmgirl's computer. She installed the new version of the screen reader and Ka-BOOM! Arg. So hopefully we can fix it. That is the project for the day other than possibly seeing a movie and then doing the family Christmas Eve thing.

[johnmill79.livejournal.com]

Thank goodness I'm not!

[tulip-in-yellow.livejournal.com]

Not to be mean, but no, I'm not at work. I won't see work again until January 2nd. It's bliss, I tell ya!

[shay-writes.livejournal.com]

Two more days, just two more days...

Enjoy your time off!

[adpaz.livejournal.com]

Nope. I had originally taken the day off but the company decided to give it to us off as a holiday so I got my PTO time back. I wasn't about to miss putting Teddy to bed the first Christmas he's able to get into it!

[fidget]

I'm so happy that I'll be off until January 2nd. Believe me, I need this break.

Still, that didn't stop me from being up at six a.m. this morning. I had to finish up my Christmas shopping, and I'm still not done. I have to return to Wal-Mart's photo lab in an hour. Then it's on to wrapping presents, cleaning the house, and helping LSD cook.

[anchasta.livejournal.com]

I wish my LSD cooked for me. It just makes me see funny things and question my existence.

Hell NO, I won't go into the snow!

[beemerbike.livejournal.com]

There's all this white crap outside, sort of as if a big pigeon took a freezing cold poo on Minneapolis. There is a blessing to asthma, though. I won't be doing the snowblowing. I will, however be making scrambled eggs and having home baked gluten free bread and grilled ham. There might even be some cheese involved.

BTW i adopted a new turtle from Craig's List. His name is Helmut and he was close to going to the pound. This brings the total to five turtles.

[lilerthkwake.livejournal.com]

Careful!

[newsong.livejournal.com]

Me, me!

It's quiet around here.

[amenquohi.livejournal.com]

Nope. Kind of wish I was, so I'd have an excuse for how atrocious my house looks. My six year old daughter just informed me that we have to clean the upstairs bathroom because "she doesn't want to see Santa peeing in her room".

Well, alrighty then....

I am trying to work (and failing too)

[spydielives.livejournal.com]

Considering I work out of my home, I guess I am.

I am way behind on my sewing projects. You see, there is this writing competition that I am participating in, and it tends to suck up all my free time?

Anyone else having that problem?

*grin*

Re: I am trying to work (and failing too)

[worldofcharlie.livejournal.com]

*groans* *sighs*...

This week we're at the parent's place in Southern California..

I won't get much fronting time and every time we get on my headmate's Mum's computer we're constantly interrupted..

I need my Lj Idol fix NOW!

I'm a mom... I'm ALWAYS at work

[ladyozma.livejournal.com]

No time and a half either. Boooo. But I get paid in hugs and kisses so that's a worthwhile sacrifice! *GRINS*

However my hubby, Sir Megabyte, is home home home. He decided to forget this working junk, it's the holiday! Since he's pretty much in control of when he works, he decided he's just not going back till the 2nd! Woot!

So we'll be busy doing family stuff, but i'll try to keep up in the green room this week!

Merry Christmas to all celebrating today and tomorrow. Happy holidays to everyone else! And if you worship the FSM, I've got some meatballs just for you! :)

[shadowwolf13]

Not me ... I'm getting paid to sit at home and play City of Heroes for the next week. :)

[roina-arwen.livejournal.com]

Not me - I'm off today and tomorrow.

Gotta go out and run some errands - mail off a package; pick up the ham from the Honeybaked store for tomorrow; pick up a few stocking stuffers - otherwise I'm doing absolutely NOTHING - yay! :)

[lifeofjason.livejournal.com]

Workin' a whole four hours today. Yippie!

[tedwords.livejournal.com]

I'm not working for at least another week...no way, can't make me!

[bella-devil.livejournal.com]

This girl, right here.

Its not that bad though, I'm off at noon. :)

[angstzeit.livejournal.com]

I'm still at the "in-laws," though we'll be heading back home tomorrow. The weather altered our travel plans, but other than long and boring the drive here wasn't bad. Hopefully the roads will have light traffic tomorrow.

You should all see more of me by Wednesday. Yes, that's a threat. :P

[tulip-in-yellow.livejournal.com]

Drive carefully! Did you and Hex rake in the presents?
