Ingrid colleagues in the mood bah humbug. She explains ....

Floods are tireless work as everyone rushes to her stuff in my ministry dump before the start of the holiday. One of the worst things about this time of the year for me. What can I do?

Uggh, questions send me everyone I write this column right before the holidays. Oh, wait a minute, but then someone has to find encodes a picture of me and other people, and you plan to display and share them on Twitter .... Ingrid is an important point: too often think the world begins and ends with only ourselves. I can not tell you how many freelance jobs I received at the end of Friday afternoon. Hey, I am grateful for the work, but I really liked the weekend. Especially at this time of year, we practice some of these "good will towards other" things that we love to sing.

But until the world to set their own boundaries to a better place, Ingrid, his department. In early November, send an e-mail group to explain, if different members of your team will be taken out, and get feedback labor Thanksgiving / Christmas / New Year, and so on which date to deliver. If someone something inevitably fall at the last minute, quietly and politely explain that you are your best to the normal delivery time to meet, but you can absolutely guarantee that you get from 04.59 clock on 24 December and yes and I hope you go for the holidays home.

AOL Jobs Roy reader you submitted your question in the comments below. (You can too!)

I a gentleman Analyst (Mainframe) was more than 20 years. My last company was bought and then merged with another company and then transferred to a very large computer company. I sat in the same chair, the same work with the same people - but I worked for four different companies in five years before I was released in 2008 for another job Analyst Mainframe not find (I was in my early 50's the was time), so I decided to get my master's degree in information technology - not that I do, but I thought it would not hurt to try to find another job in the field of technology. Wow, I was wrong. I spent more than $ 30,000 for the degree, not a single tender, after sending more than 100 hp. So here I am, eight years later, after two jobs that are under my experience and skill level, so that one third of what he earned thousands of dollars in debt, there is no prospect of something decent, because my skills and knowledge is old, dusty and rusty, and disappeared all my investments and pensions. I am 60 my next birthday. What did I do wrong? I have given up hope of returning to a decent life (financially) to live again. Is there hope? Thank You.

Roy, hardline, and thanks for writing. What you describe is, unfortunately, not uncommon for those who have been the situation in the workforce for an extended period of time.

Dad, I do not want to Roy lot this year, but maybe you could fly to Tampa vice president for information technology work? You do not want someone with over 15 years experience, after all.
