Friday and Sat are my usual days off, My specific office (not the company) is closed Sun and I put in for Mon off months ago and it was approved. 4-day weekend!!
I'm getting Christmas off because I worked Turkey Day. I also am taking a couple vacation days so I can get Armenian Christmas/Epiphany off as well (need the time to make baklava).
Hubby's getting the next week off, but not out of a desire to. His latest security assignment was a holiday arts festival, and it ended today, so until his boss finds another regular assignment for him his schedule is up-in-the-air. His boss says he has something for him next Saturday but nothing until then.
It sucks when people lie to get days off. One of our employees did that...she got Thanksgiving off, then went and cried to Boss Man (who doesn't do schedules at all) about wanting Christmas off. So we're giving the two employees who are willing to work BOTH holidays (who also both have young kids at home) a four-day weekend over New Years to make up for it. And if any of the other employees bitch about them getting that weekend off, I will tell them exactly where to put it!

Knowledge is knowing that a tomato is a fruit. Wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad.
I'm off until the 4th as I no-longer work in retail, first time ever since I started working. In a couple of years, once I'm fully trained, I'll volunteer to work xmas as most of my team has kids*.
My commiserations for whoever has to work tomorrow, I'm being dragged out shopping . I promise I'll do my best not to be an SC.
*Without going into fratching, I can't stand them and neither myself or my g/f have any interest in having any.
I was hoping to have a 4-day weekend at Christmas...my usual Thursday, then an unpaid day Friday, and the two paid days Saturday and Sunday. No such luck as I was asked on Tuesday to join the cross-training class...but at least now I will get another 2-day weekend for New Year's Eve and Day I don't usually get two days off in a row and now I'm going to have 3 weekends off in a row, even if they were/are only 2 days each!
