This part was written on December 14th: Only 11 days left of the Christmas Shopping Madness season, about 7.5 to 8 of which I'm working. This week wasn't as bad as the last week of 11-hour days that I worked. I think not having a new episode of The Walking Dead to watch on Monday morning probably helped. The reason I have to watch The Walking Dead after I get home on Monday mornings is because I can't get on Facebook until I've watched it due to people spoiling it. Hell, I can hardly go online anywhere until I've watched it, seeing as that Yahoo just about spoiled one episode, showing a picture of one of the cast who died on the show.
December 20th: It was announced on Sunday (the 23rd) that we would have Christmas Eve off, would come in on Christmas Day at 11:30 p.m. and work half a shift, and that we also have New Year's Eve off. I also found out that my vacation request for the 26th was confirmed. I originally figured that we would work Christmas Eve and have Christmas Day off, and then I'd have five days off in a row, but I figured that only having to work five hours between Christmas Eve morning and December 30th wasn't a bad deal. On Monday, they said that if we beat our own picking record, that they would give us all of Christmas Day off as well. Well, we broke the record, and now I have Christmas Day off as well! On Wednesday, it was announced that mandatory overtime was cancelled, which I was glad for because there was something I wanted to do this Friday, and wouldn't have gotten to if I had to work. To sum it all up, I'm off until Sunday, then after this Sunday I don't have to come back in until the following Sunday, then I get a night off and come back in on Tuesday. Pretty sweet, but was it really worth all the frustration of the past three months?
Meh, not really. At least I can kinda enjoy my Christmas now, though.
