I've already warned coworkers that if I ever win, I'll be a dot on the horizon getting smaller by the second.
Hoping not to work this Christmas, but if I do, that'll be a hat-trick for me since I've worked the last two. For a non-I/T, non-emergency-services, non-mission-critical job on top of it. Already did 13 hours this weekend, plus a 2-hour call with staff who decided not to follow the procedures which have been clearly documented and reviewed ad-nauseum in several group meetings and now needed help to undo the mess created.
The irritating part is that I spent 27 years in various parts of I/T work, including systems software maintenance and working for a software development firm (with the 24x7 support that includes), and I've worked more nights/weekends/holidays in the last three years than I did in my entire I/T career.
Got 36hrs this weekend, scheduled christmas. Ill probably work overtime too, so I can get 1.5x for Christmas.
