I have to work Boxing Day which is going to be anarchy but double time-and-a-half pay is a very lucrative offer, I may still have to duck away for a few extra minutes so that I may actually get my own boxing day shopping done, 10am till 10pm shift. *shivers* It's like being at the TWBB shoot all over again, only not having the luxary of sitting down every few moments or so. silent

Doctor Shulk on Thu Dec 24, 2009 1:00 am

Ew.

I wouldn't get paid extra Boxing Day, considering it's not even a public holiday. The public holiday's on Monday. D:

JGH27 on Thu Dec 24, 2009 1:04 am

Mentok, I've worked a 23 hour shift without any OT pay or any breaks. I've also worked 70+ hour work weeks without overtime pay. Apparently I wasn't entitled to it.........until I contacted the Labour board. Never did get the money tho Sad

Feel better? Razz

Doctor Shulk on Thu Dec 24, 2009 1:12 am

Omg J, that is seriously wrong and I can't believe people have done that to you. What the effing crap! D:

I was pissed off enough working 8 hours with no breaks, but 23? D:

In other news, I fail at gift wrapping. Also, I'm getting pink Yoshi slippers tomorrow. Very Happy

Have you not been reading my life story? How CAN'T you believe it's happened to me lol. Seriously tho, it's an experience I learned from.......awhile later and ya it was absolute balls at the time but $230 seemed like good pay.......then I did the OT math Sad

I too fail at gift wrapping but awesome slippers

In 6 hours There Will Be Presents.

Doctor Shulk on Thu Dec 24, 2009 2:39 am

Fuck yeah Wii and Wii Fit...and random clothes/underwear.

Totally hunting down SSBB on Boxing Day.

My heart's melted. My four year old sister is so excited, it's so adorable, seriously. She's like "I can't wait to give you the presents I made for you!" so I said "I can't wait to give you the special present I bought for you!" and she gasped in excitement and gave me a hug. So sweet. ^_^

Random fact: In the winter part of a canary's brain that controls singing shrivels, then grows back again in the spring. So every year canaries sing a new song.

Cute canary! I likes. Smile

Fuck why didn't I get in at 7am WHEN I WAS LURKING.

Sup. Merry Christmas all, and a happy new year!

So far today I: watched my sisters open a pile of presents (I have to wait until around lunchtime I guess) and went to church for a long sermon. Now my sisters are watching Barbie so I'm hiding out in my room, refreshing the Escapist page, playing Justice For All, and contemplating why it doesn't feel like Christmas (prolly cause I feel sick).

The Meta Knight on Thu Dec 24, 2009 5:17 pm

I just spoke to Mr Mercer over the two cans and a string and he sounds much better (not that I could make a comparison when he was laid out the past few days) but definately sounds well.. healthy, I encouraged him to pace himself next time he takes up a project, also told him that a great many fans were worried about him and wished him a very merry christmas and happy new year.

Dragon Age is the way to kick back on New Years Eve over thar it seems, might get a boxing day copy tomorrow Smile

Doctor Shulk on Thu Dec 24, 2009 6:07 pm

We're lunching it up. Crazy-ass feast in the works. Good times.

I keep retreating to my room to refresh the Escapist page in vain. Razz

Veering off topic but Matt also mentioned that it's now in the Escapists hands, so it's whether or not The Escapist decides to upload it on Christmas Eve or... sit on it for 'x' amount of time until we see Ep 10.

Doctor Shulk on Thu Dec 24, 2009 6:44 pm

I'm not stupid. I read that earlier.

Hence the need to refresh the ESCAPIST page and not the forum. Wink
