Online Boxing day orders doubtful coming through us, this quick, (as in tomorrow).
Run, rabbit run. Dig that hole, forget the sun.
And when at last the work is done. Don't sit down, it's time to dig another one

same at my place aswell......mainly holiday magazines and catalogues. One of the line managers wanted us to take them Monday but the DOM said they are not to go out until the 27th. Glad I'm not in :thumbup
So keep on moving, moving, moving your feet
Keep on shuf-shuf-shuffling to this ghost dance beat
Just keep on walking down never ending streets

Ok looks like I'll be cutting off tomorrow then, after the Christmas madness I've really had enough!
Just in case I'm still stuck in this job next year, Whats the best way to get time off in December?
