I’ll be (working from home) this Christmas
So today was to be my first vacation day of the year.
I’m starting Hour 8 and it’s barely past 2 p.m.
I’ll be (working from home) this Christmas. And from Pennsylvania, apparently, too. Squee.
My whole department aspired to take today off. And my instant messenger is a sea of “idle” and “out of office” messages except from my crew. So, I can’t complain too much. I guess.
I’m just ready to ram a Festivus pole in a few directions of those who didn’t miss a lunch hour or a chance to leave early or a minute of vacation even though they knew I was counting on them for something.
I get how some people “get theirs.” They want a bonus and a reward and a raise, but they don’t put forth enough effort for it. And they whine that they are so unfortunate and they deserved so much more.
Meanwhile some of us go without taking care of ourselves for the benefit of the greater good.
I tried really fucking hard this year so I have zero sympathy for everyone who didn’t.
Congratulations to those who “got theirs.” Mine is still coming and it will be a hundred times better. And I’m going to enjoy it more than any of the others ever could.
