Normally I hate being off work for more than a few days because I start to wonder what I'm missing. I mean, I like drinking beer in front of the telly as much as the next bloke. And I shake a mean tush too, so bars and clubs definitely aren't off limits. But no matter how good a time I have, being off work just isn't as funny as being at work.
So I wanted to say a big thanks to everyone out there who's going to be looking after me tonight. And also tomorrow as I try not to look too hungover in front of the family. (The smell of sprouts and burnt turkey can make me puke at the best of times but after one too many half shandies....)
Without the nurses, doctors, coppers, paramedics and firefighters Christmas would be an altogether different proposition. So I am grateful.
But if my thanks don't help you to see the bright side of working whilst I'm shakin' it just think:
Off duty nurses won't be able to extract random household objects from people's arses which "accidentally" got stuck up there.
Off duty paramedics won't be able to answer 999 calls from somebody who's got a condom stuck up their nose after a Christmas party prank gone wrong. (on a separate issue, I wrote "cuty" instead of "duty" on this one. Freudian slip? There are an awful lot of cute paramedics out there...)
Off duty coppers won't be able to turn up to a disturbance outside a pub and threaten to arrest everyone unless they sing you "Merry Christmas".
And off duty firefighters can't all jump in their big red busses and go down town to collect kisses off pissed office workers.
So, silver linings everywhere. Working at Christmas isn't too bad after all.
And if all else fails, think of the overtime.
Merry Christmas all x x
