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

I'm pretty sure the bus's will still be running it will just be a reduced schedule. That's how it its where I am they can't completely shut down the transit system people need to get places on Christmas so I'd double check

Yes. I agree with 59 there may be some transportation but at a special schedule. I rely on septa since I live in the city and there are still running the buses. So go on their site and see what they have.

Yeah and you could also take a train, trolley, etc... Or get a ride in, carpool with workers, carpool with people going somewhere colse to your workplace or if worst comes to worst walk.

YDI for not growing a spine and quitting.

don't go to work say you fell into a 24 hour coma (sp?) after the fact :X ..it could work?

Oh god, this reminds me of when I was working at one of my shittiest jobs. Mum was my ride to work, since she worked on the same road, and it was a 45 minute drive (we had just moved, previous drive was only 15 minutes) and her car broke down and couldn't be fixed until the next afternoon. I called that night, told them I couldn't make it the next day, I even explained the reason. It was only going to be a short shift as it was, 4 hours compared to my usual 9, but they told me to find a ride or take a taxi, if not I was fired. This was just on a normal workday, at that. FYL
