It must be hell for those of you that have 1 or 2 weeks holiday over the festive period with all of the pre xmas hustle and bustle, arguments, noise, relatives you dont like, people at work who give you a christmas card at christmas but would stab you in the back the rest of the year, yeah nice. thats why i choose to work nights alone all over xmas and days all over the new year. Give me the quiet life anytime.
