Yee Haw!! They changed our Holiday Schedule!!!

Okay, I've been on here complaining about our holiday schedule. The only holiday I had off this month was Christmas Day. With one vacation day left, I had to decide if I should take Dec. 24 or 26th off. I had about decided to take the 24th as my vacation day and on the 26th "make sales calls" in my home town. Others do it, and my management has encouraged me to do it, even though it goes against my ethics. I hated to burn a vacation day on the 26th because there is a good chance, or more a probability, that our branches would all decide to start closing at 10 a.m. that day. It's happened to me before on a Good Friday.

Well, not to ramble on too much, this morning, they came out with a revised Holiday Schedule. We now have Dec. 26 off, and 1/2 day on the 24th, so I'm taking 1/2 vacation day on the 24th and I will have 5 days off in a row!!!!!! I was soooo excited when the e-mail came through with the good news. I'll have 1/2 day left to take maybe one afternoon before Christmas to finish up my shopping. I'll be "on call" over the Christmas holiday this year, but with the poor economy and my customers not working any overtime, I don't expect to get any calls.

They are also giving us 1/2 day on New Year's Eve. Finally they have come to their senses!!!! Not much work would have been done those days anyway!!
