Typically my job gives the day after Thanksgiving and a half-day for Christmas Eve. (But then we're off until after New Year's.)

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
I miss the weird inappropriateness of my old job giving us the National Day of Prayer off. (Actually, although I really like freelancing, I do miss paid time off in general.)

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I’m off from the 19th all the way to the 4th. I only get paid for three of those days, though.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Christmas eve is usually a 6 hour day, I think, but that's not official policy it's just what generally happens.

We get the day after thanksgiving, and usually two days at Christmas, depends on what day of the week it lands, and likewise where other things like 4th of July land.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
I usually get the day after Thanksgiving and Christmas Eve off, as well as the 31st, but that’s academia for you.

I haven't heard whether I'm supposed to work after hours tonight and if so how late (or doing what, exactly). Although another department said there's something someone in my department could do after 7, so maybe that's a clue? My company supposedly highly values communication but we are not actually good at it.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
My white collar job is technically in retail, so we only get actual Thanksgiving and actual Christmas as company holidays, but most folks who aren't directly dealing with customers take them off as PTO. Back when I was working in media, we got the day after Thanksgiving and three days in whatever week Christmas was (Christmas, Boxing Day, and whatever day before or after that would turn it into a 5-day weekend).

They'll send me a note if they think they won't need me. Well, I'll just stay online and not really work until someone tells me to do something, I guess.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Worked a full day today. Wasn't a holiday here anyhow. (We have had to explain to the people making the orders that no one would be available tomorrow to process samples, especially not one that will be at least 6 hours apart)
