I am sparing a thought for those people, of whom I know there are a LOT, who will be working over the next two weeks - especially Christmas day and New Years day.
I have never had a job where I have been off over the whole festive period, and it used to really wind me up when the media in particular would assume that everyone had two weeks off to play at happy families!
This year I am working as and when required, driving HGVs on agency work. So in theory I can pick and choose when I work, but in reality you have to toe the party line up to a point. I have a shift booked on Monday, and have made myself unavailable for the 25th/26th. After that, who knows. At least I won't be spending Christmas night and/or Hogmanay doing battle with drunken violentrevellers sociopaths, as I had to do for two decades.
Merry Christmas to all of you who have to work!
