DH thought he had to work but then realized on Friday that they have off, lol. I guess enough people complained last year that they put it back on the holiday schedule this year.
H used to work a lot of holidays and the only nice thing was the paycheck. He got 8 hours of holiday plus time and a half for working on a holiday. Plus a lot of times he was on overtime or got overtime later that week, so those holiday paychecks were great! Not worth never spending holidays with family though.
H and I both have off today, H is going to do some studying today to keep ahead for his semester and I have loads of house work to do/. It was so so nice to sleep in! I work a lot of early early mornings this week so I'm going to try and relax today also!
DH is off today so it's nice to have a day with him. He gets all the major holidays off. This year I have to work all the major holidays. I may try to get Christmas Day off but doubt it will happen.
I was never bothered by working holidays in retail. Time and a half! Plus we always had food on hand to make things festive. Working holidays was just a way of life when I was in retail.
Went for a run/walk this morning. Now working on some prep work for some painting.
I want to do so much online shopping, but I'm restraining myself.
