Southern California - Does everyone have Xmas through New Year's Off???

Feels like I'm the only one working. Anyone else?

<---At work too... Freakin' aye...

I'll be out shopping with my 4 sisters; a few hours of head banging girls shopping spree and horrible mall traffic jams. You decide if that's better or worse. :p

I'm going to work. I like to hoard vacation time.

I'm at work. First day back since the 19th. Man, I wish I could work 2-3 days a week instead of 5. I like my job, just don't like the idea of coming to work everyday.......

If they are good looking, then I'd opt for shopping :D

Nah...I am working also....I let my assistant have this week off...
We are actually fairly busy....lots of upgrades/projects while most companies staff is off...

If they are good looking, then I'd opt for shopping :D

Even if they're your sisters?

I'm going to go ride now. But I have to work at Santa Anita this afternoon.

I'm posting this from work. :D

I LOVE working at a school! However, I did need to swap out some backup tapes and move a couple of items in our server room the other day. So, I rode to work, spent ten minutes there and then rode home....two hours of riding and 10 minutes of work!

Opening day at the track!

We are going to check it out next week. My wife and daughter have never been to the races.

Sheldon

I'm off until Friday. Then I'm back to work. I took two vaca days.

I'm at work... :(

I'm a teacher :) I'm about to try a short ride (finally over my cold) then take the wife to the observatory.

change of plans. YAY! My wife said she'll go to Santa Barbara and rent a tandem today! She's off until the 3rd.

nope. stuck here working hard

Students are off 'til the 6th. Yay!

...or not, since I have to cook and clean the house for my younger siblings. They get tiresome after a while. ^^;

Working :(

Did have the 21st-25th off though. :)

working...
ho hum........

I'm working as I do every year.

I wish I were working or at least in LA. I so despise coming up to see my aunt and uncle (no, these are not the ones that gave me $$ for the handbag, but another set who have no children to torture, so I'm it and I feel out of guilt as if I have to come see them). It takes six hours of driving to get here and then the two of them fight like little children the entire time and my aunt bosses me around, follows me around, micro-manages every ****ing second of my time, opinions, choices in food, when to walk, shower, etc. I'm literally in the guest bedroom now with the door closed on here because both of them are watching two separate televisions downstairs while on their computers and if I go down there I will be told to sit and watch whatever crap their watching and criticized for the way I sit, talk and breath. This is the only peace and quiet I can find.

Sigh. At least I can drink myself silly tonight as I'm not having to drive!

Dang M.E. If you were my GF I'd go rescue you right now! :D
This is serious business.

You're so sweet, George. Nah...it's less serious business than my inability to be an adult in my life...truly an adult. I'm always wanting to please. Sad thing is, I end up losing my temper and hurting my aunt's feelings. I've already snapped pretty harshly at her that I'm going home first thing in the morning. If she had it her way, I'd call my boss and say I'm sick so that I could stay another day and leave here on Friday. I'd rather chew on tinfoil all day Friday than be here!

Forgive me as I'm just steaming...:o

I am kind of working. Hacking some stuff at home.

I am back at work today but had last week off. Spent a week in Tahoe playing in the snow.

I'm working and I have the added bonus of working on Christmas and New Year's Day.

Yep, and we are up in Canada :beer:

It is amazing! There is this white stuff on the ground :eek: :D

Wow, that sucks. I remember the ordeal you went through when you came up here in May. I'd come meet you for drinks, but it's still a little far from Santa Clara to Pacific Grove, plus not sure if you could get away.

I've got 3 bottles of wine in my office :D

We went to the SB Zoo today. it was pretty windy up there. Did you make and ride?

And if I could break away, I'd come pay you a visit. ;) But as it is, I'm going to be drinking copious amounts of wine with a group of my aunt's friends. I love folks in their 60s, so I'm okay with that. Great group, wonderful stories and when it's all said and done, I do love my aunt.

Did you guys hear about the young men mauled (and one killed) at the SF zoo. I feel so badly for those families and those young men. :(

Awwww ... what a great niece. Sounds like fun. Cheer up ... it'll all get better.

I've been off since 12/21, and don't go back until 1/7. The lot of the private school teacher. Gotta use the time to train for Solvang, and fantasize about rescuing ME.

Yea, I was having breakfast with a colleague at work, and he told me about it. That's horrible.

I don't got school till January 8th.

Had to work today, and gotta work tomorrow and the next day but then 4 days off woohee!!!
