Anybody else have to work on Turkey Day?

I work in a hosptial and will be working part of Thanksgiving. It isn't that bad, only have to work 6am to noon and it will be double time and a half. So I'm not complaining, then it will be on to my sisters for dinner. Anybody else who has to work?

Fitting that it should be here in The Lounge, where the other 999 were. :)

Yeah, that's me up on the red double-deckers, telling all the europeans how great we are... :eyes:

Double time and a half?

I'd put in a full day every holiday! I'm salary, so it ain't gonna happen.

8. yes and no

Our store will be closed on turkey day, but we are coming in to rearange the toy wall - and do some other little chores that I never seem to find time for - maybe I should shampoo the carpet.

But we'll be on our own schedule tomorrow and can sleep in (YEAH!).

15. My dad and I always worked on major holidays.

Bonus pay, we'd commute to work and back together, then rejoin the family for the festivities in the evening.
