Nights at christmas

Post by celerycelery »

Since nights have long gone from our office last week they asked for volunteers to work nights over xmas. The hours are midnight till 10am over 4 nights. Not a bad shift really for xmas, its just a shame the DUM decided to choose 4 of his friends from the list :hmmmm
