Right. You think "it'll be slow because of the holidays." But then because work is a ghost town, even though it is slow, the work load isn't much less.

I would be ok with this.

Years ago I worked at a place where the boss's wife insisted on working there even though she was dumber than a chicken. One day on the first day of winter we were talking about it being the shortest day of the year, and she popped off that the shortest day was not before Christmas when she was younger, it always came later. I just stood there with my mouth open but had no reply, except to walks away shaking my head, and muttering something about what an idiot she was.
