I've got a vacation coming up... at work we get Xmas Eve, Xmas, NY Eve, and NY Day off, with an alternate day chosen if they fall on the weekend. So I've made a habit of taking vacation days between the two... this year I'm using 3 whopping vaca days to take off from Dec 23-Jan 3.

I already have off from Dec 17th to Jan 3rd, without taking any vacation days.
Even better, I have twelve weeks of PAID vacation later on. Woot.

I, however, get paid from Dec 24th through Jan 2 as holiday pay because that's just the company's way of thanking us for the largest portion of our immortal souls we signed away far too many years ago. Now Tuesday this week, we got paid to sit in the breakrooms and offices for three and half hours [during which time I played GoW: Chains of Olympus] while the plant suffered from a severe plant wide black out. After that, we were paid to stand out on the floor "trouble shooting" all the equipment that went down mid process and had to be restarted. And to top it off, we were paid time and a half as we attempted to get the various lines started again. |

Pay still sucks, though, it's just spread out over 12 months rather than 9.

Definition of Joe-Geek Despair:
Getting a PoL that has been accruing since August and was capped off with a set of 4 of W3 of Pursuit of Cobra. You've worked an 11 hour day and eagerly but carefully slit it open when you get home..... Only to find that the W3 Snake Eyes that you paid for ain't in the box. Despair. I'm reasonably sure BBTS will make it right and won't make a huge deal out of it if they do so, and quickly. But damn.

Yeah, they'll send you the replacement no questions asked. And if they don't, I'll have one or two extra if you're wanting one. Just as soon as my EE.com order comes in, anyway.

Fixed! Or soon will be. BBTS is sending me a replacement free of charge. It's already in the warehouse.
