The hospital had a holiday meal. Of course, I wasn't working that day. (But like I'm going to go in for that on a day off!)

I do work both night shifts on Christmas eve and Christmas day. We have to pay for our dinner those nights. lol. But we know how to bring in our own holiday spirit and will have a great potluck on our own. I don't mind working the holidays, at least we get holiday pay for PART of our shifts, not the full shift though! Amazing how they work that.

I get to keep working!

Alberta Health Services axed the free Christmas and New Years Day meals due to "buget issues".

My union is bringing us "treats" on the day.

Bah Humbug, Messrs. Stelmach and Duckett.

Avoid Alberta, oh, wait, there's a hiring freeze....
