This is the hardest working time of the year for the majority of the poor general populace !
You would expect someone to get you out of pain, or if you suffered an accident - put their absolute best efforts in and work as long as it took , and even get you home for Xmas Cheerfully ! Emergency firefighters, service people , health workers , rural and farmers caring for livestock , and food producers and onsellers and hospitality - all limited sleep even .
Maybe end of week or pre- Xmas news that you are expecting for finalising contracts ?
