There it goes, the last day off until Xmas. There will still be Sunday's, but otherwise it's 5 doubles a week at 12 hours per shift plus Saturdays at 9 hours, 69 hours a week until the 3 days of holidays.
And there are the people that send through the web form reservations for Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, we reply gleefully that we'll be closed, where in hell do these losers come from? We should accept all those reservations, then when they're all in lock the doors and set fire to the restaurant....
3 weeks, 20 (more or less) working days, I have vague hopes that we'll be slow one of the days and I'll get a couple of extra hours off - unlikely.
