Christmas Holidays?
So, I have just come in, cracked open a cold one and settled down to a week and a bit off! Not back in now until 27th December (nights, excellent!) Really pleased 'cos it's my first Christmas off in the nine years since I started my current job.
So, who else is off, working, wants to blow off steam about their holiday or lack of it? PS, first beer gone, second now being brought to me by my seven year old daughter who is desperate for a Niintendo DS. Well trained or what

For the first time in about six years I'm not at work, on 24/7 call, or thinking about work at any time between 22nd and 27th
So I'm going to spend Christmas day with my family, walking the dogs, fitting my lowers (cheap, 2nd hand xmas pressie from eBay), going for a quick blat up Hartside , then back to dress for dinner (crazy family tradition  ), and wait for my other half to get back from Essex, then it's dinner and presents. Oh, and I'll probably fit in a bit of drinking after the ride

Finished my last stint on-call until 9:00am on New Years Day at 9:00am this morning.
Working daytime until Friday, although last day is nothing more than turn up and take part in the Dept Quiz Put the tree up this evening so starting to get into the festive mood. Up until a couple of hours ago I was grumpy and "humbugish". Just watched the 2nd part of Hogwatch on SkyOne (excellent, btw) and will be okay once I've go a few pressies in for the family. I hate being on-call - can't relax, but its over now. Merry Christmas everyone
