i hate tax season and christmas and the superbowl and easter and halloween and most if not all of the stupid made up commercial holidays...

I told my boss that I was going to set something up so that it was ready for everyone to use Monday (MLK day) and he said "But no one will be here Monday." So I told him, "I will be, I have stuff to do." He got pretty happy when I told him that. He doesn't need to know that I'm only going in for less than an hour, just that I'll be there on a holiday.

I sort of promised my boss that I would log on and do some data entry from home tonight. But since I am also coming in tomorrow (for free since it is a holiday) I think I will pour another martini and just plan on getting up extra early tomorrow morning.

Well for the second time in 3 months my manager tried screwing me out of overtime. 9.29 hours worth this time. Last time it took 10 days to issue me a check for the differance which meant I was taxed twiced! We'll see when they "fix" it this time. I'm beyond angry I worked 6 days straight, over the holidays! They need to quit trying to rip us off. She does the payroll through a computer program there is no reason for her to keep screwing it up! If it takes 10 days again I'm giving my notice! I'm not the only one she keeps doing this to. WTF!

So everyone has no problem putting aside work for the day, laughing and having fun when it comes to decorating the office for the holidays . . . now it's January and no one has time to take down and put away the decorations? Fine - I have no problem leaving them up. Does not bother me one bit - I look forward to the green and red garland on the 4th of July.

Back to work, got a contract today...I don't mind! however, i extended my holiday by one day and went shopping at a white sale.

Several people haven't shown up after the Christmas holidays and I am wondering if they are dead........even worse I am wondering about the etiquette of stripping valuables from their cube....do I give it hours, days or wait until the first vulture shows up and fight them to the death for the good stapler?

Everyone's back in the office, first time since 12/20. I guess that means the holidays are officially over. bummer...

I should be on two weeks holiday but my boss can't print out some fucking paperwork herself so they cancelled my holidays and I have to go in tomorrow. I am pissed.

I'm a massage therapist that occasionally works on my neighbors. Pros would be that I get the full rate, but cons would be getting emailed during the holidays asking for a session. Sorry, no, I got plans that don't involve work.
