Unhappy Working on Thanksgiving

I just started my job at the hospital about two weeks ago. There really arent any people my age. I work with older people. Well since I was the newbie no one (even my boss) said that there was a sheet to sign up for holidays. They just told me yesterday.....I have to work 12-6 on Thanksgiving

But hey it was either Thanksgiving or Christmas....

Still I am a sad panda.......

Hey Panda,

Hopefully you'll be paid double time. I always did when working Thanksgiving. Plus you're off @ 6...not too late to still enjoy.

You'll be glad once Christmas rolls around. Hope it's not too bad for you and as I said in another thread to Curtis, there *are* people who appreciate you working the holidays.

Aww, I am sorry Jimmy. Just make sure that your family saves some dinner for you. Do you get paid time and a half? If you do then that is a bright side and if not at least you have a job that you seem to like.

Sorry Jimmy. Maybe you will have the same luck I did the one year I had to work Thanksgiving. When I was in college I worked the front desk at a high rise resort condominium in Coronado, California. There were 18 floors and about 10 condos on each floor. Everyone, and I mean everyone, felt sorry for me and I had more food brought down to me than I could have possibly eaten in a month. I never wanted to see another piece of pumpkin pie in my life! Have a great Thanksgiving anyway!

Terry

Sorry about your luck Jimmy. I'd rather have Christmas Day off myself...oh well...at least you're not working any longer of a shift.

I have worked EVERY holiday - 12 hour days - for the last 15 years. After awhile, none of them have any meaning anymore. You find you are more interested in napping then turkey at the end of the day.

I used to have to work Thanksgiving and Christmas, and every other damn holiday you could think of when I worked as an operator in the control room. The process at work just cannot be shut down for one day, so if it was our day in, we had to work. I'm real sorry you have to work, Jimmy... I know your pain, buddy.
