OT ....Working over Christmas; Merry Christmas

Just heard some idiot on Radio who has little idea what working at christmas
means, so for all of you doing so. Have as good a time as you can.

Lets just hope the folk in the front line have it a bit easier too. Got plenty mates in all of the
emergency services. **** job made harder by drunk ****ers. I can think of one family local to me that
will be wishing the festive season away very quickly indeed after losing someone just doing a job.

Of course we have already had the 'run up to Christmas' car crash that killed a few last night. Driver
was over the limit - arsehole, shame HE didnt die.

I have never had to work at Christmas, now with a family I dont think I ever could.

This is my first Christmas 'in the job' and already I am seeing the
goodwill from drunken thug to drunken thug (both genders)
A case of ' God bless ye merry gentlemen, unless you look at me funny,
then you'll get a glass over your head!!'

Roll on 7am, then I can open prezzies with the family, then go to
bed...

Merry Christmas all...

Ditto that for the next 2 Nights.

I'm just keeping my fingers crossed for a uneventful evening even if it
means it drags on and on... not the usual stuff, mainly that life changing
stuff such as the incident in London yesterday morning which affected
Families in my area 150 miles away... just shows what a small world it is. I
was working last New Year. About 11.40pm we got a multiple fatal crash to
attend to...absolute nightmare. Absolutely tragic at any time of the year
but seems all the more difficult to come to terms with at a time of
celebration.

It's incidents like these that take the fun out of Christmas even for the
stuck at work celebrations.

We do however remain hopeful and have again got some celebrations planned as
best you can while trying to keep the ball rolling so to speak.

Merry Christmas everyone!!!!!

..... anyone need an early morning call just to see if "HE'S BEEN HE'S
BEEN!!!!" then let me know.

And also let's not forget those on another "front line", thousands of miles
away. I've a lot of friends who'll be dusting sand from their stale,
imported xmas cake tomorrow whilst dodging the odd random mortar fire, in
aid of two corrupted government's so called mission for peace. Mission for
oil, more like. Hmmm... visions of dubya playing the piano, blair in a
waistcoat and fezz dancing on top, as another barrel of crude rolls across
the set, all to the tune of "roll out the barrel"...
Merry Xmas to all.
