OK, who's working this Thanksgiving?

Published

I have to work tonight, which means I'll get off tomorrow morning at 0730, drive for one hour, then fall into bed til I don't know when. Thank goodness, hubby like to cook Thanksgiving dinner! Hope I won't have to clean up the mess. I guess I could get up to eat some though, tee hee.

I am! I am! 3-11 shift. I'll go with my husband, parents and sister's family out for an early dinner at 1:00 and bring my uniform to change into in the restaurant's restroom at 2:15. I also have to work the next day, "Black Friday"-- my normal Friday to work.

My husband works retail and so I pretty much say goodbye to him on Thanksgiving until some time in early January.

I am working Thanksgiving, the day after and this weekend...UGH! I am also working Christmas Eve and Day. I got New Years Eve and Day off and also the day after Christmas. Only my second holiday season, so I wasn't surprised. Everything goes by seniority at my place. I don't mind though...LTC becomes a little family of it's own so I'll spend the day with the work fam then be off at 3 for the blood fam...:)

I'm making cranberry banana muffins right now for my co-workers. I figure we can all have a nice Thanksgiving breakfast together :)

That is horrible! Ours pays time 1/2 for day shift & evening shift. You also get a "free" day off since you have to work the holiday. I am working tomorrow & Friday. But, feel fortunate since I have Christmas and the day after off.

Have a happy & safe Thanksgiving everyone!

Due to my schedule, I would only have the holiday off and then back again for the next day. I sent my hubbie off to visit his family and I am working Thanksgiving, Christmas eve, Christmas day, New Years eve (night shift) and New Years day( night shift). I don't really mind, I don't want to do the family thing at the holidays. I am just going to buy a turkey breast on my way home tonight and cook it so that I have something for dinner and I love cold turkey sandwiches after the holiday. Also the staff that I am working with are all bringing in snack food so that we can have fun even though we are at work.

To all my friends and other writers in this board, have a great holiday and may there be peace in the world someday.

I will be working 8a-8p in the ER all day tomorrow...I am praying for a semi-tolerable day! I will settle for only having to run one code if I am lucky! Hope everyone has a great Thanksgiving!
