Ever worked Christmas Day?

[Makkankosappo]

For the first time in years, yes. And it's by choice as I can take advantage of the double and a half pay for the stat holidays. In fact, I'll be working three weeks straight. Couple of big cheques by mid-January will be the result. And a few SPs are gonna be a few hundred bucks richer. Heh heh heh.

2.5x pay, why would you not work?
I only don't work a holiday if we are shut down.

Now that's the sharing spirit! :nod:

Crackheads

well the crackhead wanted everything we had in our bag or he was threatening to prick me with a needle he had in his hand and he had already grabbed my hand .... so needless to say we dropped everything and left ... we were smart not to be carrying our wallets or phones .. he made my ex empty his pockets and made him empty mine as well ... we just wanted to get away from there... didnt know and didnt care if his threats were hollow or not but whatever was in the bag wasn't worth the risk

we were by keefer st and not being from Vancouver I think we ventured a little too near east hastings without knowing ... well never again

I am sorry to hear that. i thought your stuff got stolen from your car or something, wow that was a scary encounter. you did the smart thing by not putting a fight, those crackheads they do anyhing for a fix i can't stand them.

People forget

When it comes to the topic of working on Christmas day, the general population seems to forget that livestock farmers MUST work on Christmas day. I hate to think of the sounds coming from milk cows that miss a milking - and their agony. No extra pay rate for the farmer, either.
