MegaSack DRAW - This year's winner is user - rgwb
We will be in touch
We've just shut down most of the services on the plant where I work.
No more "jobs" till the new year....hurrah.
Two days of paper shuffling & singletrackworld heaven beckon......
who else has packed in for the year???
"Technically" no 😆
about 9 years ago
Exam today, exam tomorrow, then done til the new year 🙂
Yes, 2 weeks ago but not through choice, I have ran out of work. Hopefully will have some to start back to after new year. Merry ****ing Christmas.
Nope.
Tres busy = possibly working right through.
Last Friday 🙂
Weather is shit though!
will - Member
"Technically" no
same here... i'm physically here, that's about it 😯
Not had a day off since August. Another 18+ hour day beckons.
If I get all this done AND don't lose any of my 2 weeks hols, I'll be bloody amazed
*jealous*
"Technically" no
Indeed 😐
Work? I remember that.
Mentally I am winding down / burning out. Office party this afternoon then two more days in the office to go....
Finish at 17:00hrs tonight.
I finished my working away project on the 7th. So I've been on the bench since then... 🙂
bored
want to finish now
Nope, got Christmas Day & Boxing Day off but that's it this year.
Somebody's got to keep the country's legal system functioning over the holidays 😀 😉
Off over Christmas for the first time in ages*. However got a stack of stuff I need to get done before close of play Friday to make sure I don't get hassled.

*Discounting 2009 when I was unemployed. That was hardly a nice, relaxing time...
I do have my office Christmas lunch today (three courses - yum) followed a few hours later with my mtb club Christmas dinner. Another 3 courses....
Typical! 😆
I was looking forward to a lovely laid back December of no work, thought I could cruise through until January and pick up some work in the new year. Then some bastard gave me a job and I am up to my ears in it.
Could be worse, could be living in a Yurt!
Finish on Friday until the 31st, but oncall as of yesterday until the 28th, so a dry Christmas and a few drams on Hogmanay.
Loads of studying to do as well!
Hahahahahhhhhaaaaaahhahahahahahaa
No.
Git(s)
Unfortunately finished yesterday after a trip to the GP ....
Would rather be well and at work then home and sick

+1
Finished work on the 11th and not back til the 7th of January 😀
Stopped? I'm a student so technically never started 😉
I had stopped - but then had a call out today.
But pretty much done now (barring any more call outs between now and the end of the week!)
No, will be around between Christmas and new year too at random times as well, but then I quite like pottling round the workshop 😀
Don't finish till Friday (and I cant bloody wait wait, 2 weeks and weather permitting lots of bike time) but the rest of my colleagues in the business and my customers seem to have disappeared into a blackhole.
Finished Monday until the 27th Dec. Usually have Xmas day and new years day off
Finish the 23rd at 1500 for Christmas eve and day till boxing day at 1330 when I'm back in till news years eve and then back in the 3rd of Jan.
Dragging like a witches' tit.
decided not to bother showing up tomorrow as it get quieter and quieter round here!
busy and have been for months, im on the burning out side of things too... desperate for the break and not sure a can even be assed with my mtb group meal tonight. being social feels like effort 🙁
i mentally clocked out over a week ago and i've been hungover in work all but one day since then and i'm out again the next two nights so will keep up that effort.
Not back until the 7th Jan though and looking forward to the time off as i've had none since the first weekend in august
Was supposed to be in until Friday, but cat AIDS had put paid to that.
Yup - got LA about 5 days ago. Day on the beach today I reckon, maybe a couple of beers overlooking the Pacific later.
December invoices issued an paid - guess I'm done then 😀
last days work tomorrow.. I think a pub lunch will be in order!
😛
Pretty much. I put a Christmas hat on our logo and made it snow on our website yesterday.
Haven't done much today.
trying to wind down with paper work
Some how happy 🙂

You can always try and educate them as you have to much time on your hands 🙂
Bunch of ****ing part timers. I'm a teacher so hardly work any weeks a year but even I have two days left.
[i]You can always try and educate them as you have to much time on your hands[/i]
I try, I really do try! but sometimes the impossible is the impossible. Talking to a lad the other day who's in for burglary & twoc'ing (?) His response was 'But you can't beat the buzz you get', I didn't really know where to go from there.
LOL Essex Theres no reply to that one LOL

Suggest he buys (not twoc's or burgles) a bike and hits some downhills?
That should give him a pretty big buzz.
Or ride it around a busy city at night.
...with no lights.
😀
Not a chance. 2 clients still want to complete deals before Christmas.
(But I shall have the last laugh. Working between Christmas and new year then when everyone come back depressed I'm buggering off for a week of cycling in the Canaries :-))

Ah Ha! That's where I went wrong, I talked about wingsuit basejumping but he just gave me a funny look. (absolutely true, didn't have a clue what I was on about, even after I'd explained. No interest)
Now what?
been off since last Tuesday, until after new year. on sick. bored.
Nope, will be working as normal til Friday but off til the 2nd January then so fair enough.
Well Friday was meant to be my last day of work, and my last day of notice, but my MD decided to pick a battle with me in an open office. He's been pretty bitter since my letter went in just under a month ago with lots of snidey comments, which I have just let pass for the sake of an easy life over the past month.
This time however, he tried it again in front of an office full of accounts staff. I guess it was the straw that broke the camels back as I gave him both barrels back 😕
I left about 5 minutes later.
Why they kept someone in a senior sales role in the office for a notice period I have no idea, they should have just stuck me on gardening leave.
Still, an extra couple of days off. Shame the weather is horrific today, otherwise i'd have gone out on the bike!
Finished up for Christmas back at the end of September. Got the big day at home, then back to work on 27th/28th. Ah well, it was nice while it lasted.
Just about still working... waiting for comments to a big job to come in. I'll be mad busy then, but right now I'm so bored.
Anyone up for a session of Comedy Mammals Top Trumps?
Dopio posto
No, so bugger off and leave me to get on with it!
4hrs to go....
Then not back to work until the 7th Jan 8)

Now what?
Try throwing him off the roof to give him the same sensation? 😉
My last day is Friday before I get two weeks off. Most of the rest of the business needs to be in to cover our public service (5th/6th emergency service?)
Can't decide how much holiday to book off. I've taken off the 24th, my resourcing manager unofficially advised me not to bother booking any days off since I'm unassigned. Feel bad skiving off though when I'm meant to be doing stuff.
nope, got a functional document to get out for client review by tomorrow, will be working on it at home tonight, and till 5/6 PM tomorrow. but after that off till the 8th. tbh it's making the time go quick, so it's not so bad....
