Sounds like you are salivating at the prospect of getting reemed from behind by your manager on christmas eve. You obviously have no family, are a sadist or have an Übermenschian delusiory psychosis to attend to.

No I'm not the first or second, and I don't know what the third is, is it :crazy: ?
I was just bemoaning the fact that these days we have to work until 1800 on Xmas Eve and New Years Eve in MCs.
A few years back we would all have been devoluted to a 0800-1600 attendance and the MC Manager would give us an
early release at 1300 in recognition of the long hours and hard work we had put in, in the run up to Xmas.
But such good will gestures went out of the door with the arrival of :lfo and :cfo

What bonus? Only the managers will be getting any bonuses this year. :mad We all might as well take the day off sick so PostConn can fine them and reduce the amount of bonuses. :crazy:
