'Tis the season... to be stuck at work.

May 04, 2006 02:12

Aware that it's only the first week of May, I feel awfully-strange talking about the Christmas season. Yet, today I found out that Blockbuster managers are not allowed to take vacation time between November 15 and December 31. This, clearly, means that I will not be able to go back to Ireland for Christmas.

And, seeing as I'll be the only one without family around me at that most wonderful time of the year, I'm sure my over-whelming sense of familial harmony will forbid me from allowing anyone else on the management team work Christmas Day. The time-and-a-half pay will do little to compensate for a Christmas void of pudding, mince-pies, Trivial Pursuit, Ant & Dec's Christmas Special, and the Queen's Speech. It won't be so much, "Nollaig Shona" as it will be, "Happy Holidays".

Joy to the Fuckin' World.
