Default Anyone else have to work today?

Well I am sitting here for 1 of the most boring days I have had.
I have almost fallen a sleep maybe 10 times.. I have been here since 7am, and will be here till 7pm.... This freakin blows...

Just thought I would see how many unfortunate souls had to work today also.

Merry x-mas all...

I don't go back until the 5th.

Sorry I missed your call Ira. Sucks you have to work, but you still get off early enough to go out.

Man we listened to the police scanner last night for awhile while we were playing on the xbox. Sounded like a crazy night last night.
