I chose to go to work tomorrow.

back in my television days I used to have to work all holidays.  several years I had a diet coke and a hershey chocolate bar for lunch

 

In my Xerox days we used to either have to work Christmas or Thanksgiving.   We did get triple time though and you had to take all calls for 24 hours so it made a good sized chunk of overtime in the check.  None of us complained much.

Time & a half works.

 

My family is scattered over 3 continents at last count, so there won't be any get together. The work schedule worked out so that I wound up working Christmas this year. There's some service work I'd rather be doing tommorow, but such is life.

For many many years all of our training nation wide was at our center about 7 miles east of Leesburg Va.

 

 

It was a totally self sustaining 1800 student training center that all training was done in.....   was built in the middle of a two thousand acre game reserve and that is the Potomac River.   It has all been built up around it now and we sold it to I believe Mariot.   It's a convention center now...    but back when it was all ours it was an awesome place to go.   I have walked down to the river to fish more times than I can remember.    Over my career (38 years) I've probably spent at least a year there in various classes and seminars, some as long as 7 or 8 weeks.   Thousands upon thousands of Xeroids have met there and made acquaintances and some even good friends over the years.  

 

We set up some regional training in the late 90's and fazed out the center.   The cool part about it also was that it isn't very far from Washington DC.   We spent a lot of time in DC and the surrounding area's historical sites.
