It only sucks if that is how you measure your excitement op.

Time to get out and make some friends

Boo hoo, crybaby. Many of us work holidays, but not all cry about it.

I think it's all about perspective. Maybe you should find a hobby or get involved with something you'd enjoy. My brother and friends worked on New Year's Eve and they are fine with it. Mine was non eventful and I was really happy with it.

I felt the same way, OP.

I worked on Xmas Eve, boxing day, New Year's Eve, and New Year's day!

Don't worry OP, I worked both NYE and NYD, not exactly my plans but I know all will be well next Tuesday when I get paid :)

TBH if I'd worked new years eve I would have had a blast, depending on what your job is it might not be that busy and you might be able to get away with having a bit of fun and slacking off a bit. I honestly don't do much if anything for NYE, I'm not much into parties and drinking, and I don't go to any of the city events because it's crowded and I hate people. I often stay home alone or just hang out with close friends or family. Last night I just stayed home, and played games and chatted with people online to ring in the year. I still had a blast, I still absolutely love NYE even when it's hardly any different from any other night of the year. It's just what you make of it. You can easily turn it into a great night. Working it could possibly suck, but if your workplace allows it you can still make it a bit fun (too late for this NYE of course, but still).

Worked 18 hours newyears day! The feels! So tired I didn't even go home, I slept in my car. HNY!

Personally I couldn't care less about New Year's. I celebrate my years at life milestones, a year since this, a year since that. Some people really don't care, and that's fine, I take it OP cares…
