Sunrise, New Year's Day

I worked New Year's Eve or, perhaps more accurately, New Year's Morning. I started work at about 9pm Monday night and finished at 5:25am (or as it Sydney Buses writes it in their '24 hour' clock, 29.25). The sun was rising on my way home.

I was being paid at double time. I understand this was a 'gift' from Sydney Buses as New Year's Eve is not a public holiday and they are not required by the union agreement to may extra.

I was also given a 'crib', meaning I was paid for the time I had as a meal break. Normally, meal breaks are not paid time.
