I'm self employed and it doesn't look like Ive got any more work after about the 18th December.

That will be perfect in my opinion, 18th it is.

Back in the UK on the 21st, working between Xmas and New Year, then off to Las Vegas for a conference on the 2nd. Trying to get a days biking booked in Bootleg Canyon on the 4th. That will be a good way to start the new year's riding.

Finished yesterday as we completed on a house today so lots of other work to do. Sat in our rented place waiting for the keys still as our vendor appears to have decided to move himself with a transit. Very frustrating but could be worse, we could be sat in a van outside the new house.

Anyway, back in on 23rd/24th and then off til New Year!

I have numerous deadlines piling up for 24th and i expect more to flood in, do I suspect 9pm on the 24th, if I'm lucky . The joy of no trains / drunks on the way home.

Not sure when we will finish .... or if we will go back !

The retail company I have worked 27 years in IT for is in administration for the third time in four years and it looks like this is the end of the road.

All the Head Office and Warehouse staff are slowly being made redundant ...... I'm still there at the moment ....... but for how long !?!?

I broke up for Xmas 2013 on December 26th last year - early retirement at taxpayers' expense. Thank you to all contributors 🙂

Supposed to be shutdown from Christmas Eve to Jan 2nd but the firm I contract to need me to monitor some work on Boxing Day and the 28th. As Mrs Pingu is working all day Boxing Day and I will get paid for doing not a lot and having my phone on as well as the venue being a football ground and my team playing I jumped at the chance.
