Today, I found out that I have to work Christmas Day. There's no public transport running and taxis are triple fare. It'll cost me more getting to work than I'll actually earn during the shift. FML

Say you had to chill with Saint Nick. I agree, take the day off.

I have to work xmas day too. But I only live a 40minute walk away so i dont have to spend £39485439995845y54rf434 :P If it's really that far away (and no, a half hour - an hours walk is not too far) then you should have spoken to your boss IN ADVANCE. It's not hard.

1 hr walk + 8 hr shift + 1 hr walk. Who wants to do that after a long day of work, especially if the job is labor intensive?

I do quite often. One of my parents live about one and a half hours away, maybe a bit less. the bus only goes 20 minutes towards their house and then i have to walk. i'm a waiteress, so obv im on my feet literally all day, running around etc etc. I do try to avoid not staying at my house though :P An hours walk is not bad.

I work a 25 hour day , i live in a cardboard box, and i walk 12 hours a day, 8 days a week, to get to my job in constant -50 degree weather. Also, i get hideous burns and cuts from the constant clawing the dragons i tend to deliver. But i don't bitch. Monty python, anyone? See what i did thar?

No, a "******* crime" is called "rape". Also, FY Christocentrism.

tell your boss you're not working it unless you get a lift or some money back towards a taxi. i work in a bar too and our boss is driving us home over christmas and boxing day shifts.
