Sick! Up at 5 am to drive to Portsmouth for the week ( every week away from home for me). My little boy is currently sobing his heart out over it 🙁
A little from column A, a little from column B.
Looking forward to kicking some new stuff off but pressure will be definitely on to complete mop up of pre-Christmas projects and submit final proposal for next phase. Very busy January ahead.
Have worked over xmas and the new year , so not really been off ! .. so tomorrow is just another start to a 60hr week !

Unemployed, flying to Australia on the 15th.One way ticket, wish me luck!
Good luck mate. I feel this needs some explanation, circumstances to get you here and plans for the future?
I'm sort of looking forward to it, the lack of structure to the xmas period always ends with me feeling listless/aimless. This enthusiasm'll fade as soon as I hear the first munchkin shouting "I'MNOTDOINGTHATJOBIT'SF*****'SHIT" when they see the worklist. That may even be before I clock in 🙄
How do I feel?
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrggghhh noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Back to work tomorrow after 2 weeks. I can't say I'm looking forward to it.
Unassigned tomorrow so nothing to do really, then off to Sweden on Tuesday evening. Quite enjoying this project, so not feeling down at all. It's snowed a bit over the holiday there so should be beautiful. Will probably take running kit this week, maybe the bike next week.
Start a new job tomorrow after 4 months unemployed and to be honest I'm bricking it, well out of my comfort zone......
Fully kitted out van selling workshop supplies tools etc but the thought of walking into garages etc and trying to sell them stuff is scaring me to death.....seem like a very good company and a good set up so will have to give it a shot...
So if anybody in the Manchester and surrounding areas needs any supplies let me know
Sometimes it's a vocation/profession, sometimes it feels like a job. It was the latter for the several weeks prior so I'm hoping that it'll feel more like the former... fingers crossed.
Hora jnr doesn't start school till Tuesday so looking to palm him off on the in-laws whilst I endure two hours in Calderdale 8)

Aaw!
Give him a couple of years and he'll just grunt goodbye...
Not looking forward to getting up and I'd rather be staying at home but I generally don't mind going work tbh.
Can't wait. 8-10 hours of peace and quiet in a row. Heaven.
Can't wait to get back in the office tomorrow and laugh at the lazy self pitying whiners who didn't go in with me last week. 👿
Pretty ambivalent to be honest.
Have enjoyed getting out riding a lot over the break, but work is ok and keeps me busy and able to buy toys so can't complain.
Should I be going back to my previous place of work my view would be substantially different, but thats why it was a previous one.
I would love to go to work tomorrow.
I've been off for 4 years and probably won't be back soon 🙁
I can't bloody wait. I'm genuinely excited about the year ahead, completely to do with work. I might be either the saddest man alive or one of the luckiest!
Nope. Kind of hoping Brecon gets nuked between now and tomorrow morning.
I dread this day every year!
Can't wait to get back on the bike for the commute. Looking at everyone chewing on their steering wheels as I glide down the outside of the traffic jam will make my day a happier day.
Well I'd rather not but needs must.
Was in last Friday, so feels like a normal Sunday to me. Gonna be a big busy year, couple of weeks time we are back in camp for the 6 Nations, then the World Cup... 😯
Oh my heart bleeds for all you office bound workaholics.
No it really does, I wouldn't do it for 10 times my salary. Can't think of any place I'd rather work less. Wasting your lives in front of computers, in meetings and boring PowerPoint presentations. Nooooo thanks. Not for me.
I've done 4 days between Christmas up to Saturday, and it's been bliss. No traffic, got some tidying up and organising done, fixed a few bikes, eaten a bit of cake, that sort of thing.
Plus, I don't need to waste holiday days in crap weather. Gonna take it all in the summer. Got 4 holidays of between 4 and 16 days planned already. 🙂
I feel like a dick and will have to field loads of people asking about and staring at the large gash I put in my forehead yesterday
Having worked most of the last few weeks I am on 5 days off just now.....woohoo, and the kids go back to school tomorrow so piece and quite at home and time to go for a ride.
[quote=Bregante said]Just to give me some kind of "helpful" heads up, I've been getting texts since Saturday morning from two of my team who are in all weekend about what awaits me tomorrow a.m.
It's not going to be pretty...
Is the Espresso machine bust ?
Not to fussed about going back in.
Looking forward to cycling in a bit more than usual for dinner reason.
I really can't be bothered.
Oh well, it will only be for 2 weeks and then I will be made redundant.
Need to find another job soon.
Enjoy my job but hate the fact I work away from home, family, kids etc...
Was in on Friday, complete waste of a day. Tomorrow will probably be fairly similar, as Tuesday's a holiday here 🙂
Not arsed, same sh17 different pile. I will just crack on and think to myself, I hate most of the tw4ts I deal with and would never let them enter my social life.
However my lad has gone back to Lympstone for his second phase of training to be a Royal Marines Commando, hes not looking forward to another 16 weeks of beasting after 2 weeks of being warm and comfy, good grub, beer and parties.
In his worlds, Im going back to hell. 😀
Running round in the mud and shooting guns? I'll take that! The bit after the training though... i'll stick to the computer screen and the occasional jolly into the mountains
Quite looking forward to it.
Started a new job 1st of December and the last month has let me find my feet before it gets back to normal.
The whole department needs sorting out and I should find out in the next few weeks if anyone else qualified is to be appointed otherwise I might get the nod to take over. Potentially huge jump in responsibility so a bit nervous.
I'm heading into the office for the first time in almost three weeks, looking forward to getting back to a routine.
Although may not last the day.
Was in just enough over the last 2 weeks to not have that horrible feeling of being out of it for 2 weeks, but still had plenty of time off.
Only thing I'm not looking forward to is having to change my route in due to roadworks starting today, plus everyone else back on the roads...
It's going to be a very long day.
Off to struggle to the boulangerie, then have to get the kids to ski school. Sun's bright. Travails.
I couldn't face it so decided to pop over to Austria for a cheeky weeks' skiing instead. Next Monday however will be super depressing.
Drainage.....

Yup, definitely sounds like you have the most fulfilling job there.
All good, was in Friday so no back to work shock here, Jan should go quickly lots on then it be Feb and almost spring. 😀
I got really stressed and couldn't sleep yesterday... After Reading some work emails.
this will continue until august when my contract finishes. I've not decided whether that's good or bad
Really busy last few months of last year made the 2 weeks off over xmas very welcome. Glad to be back in though. Lots of work to do though but all looking good for this year too.
