[Closed] anyone working?

Not me - teacher on a well earned break!

Yeah; 1430-2300!! Then 3 ½ days off! 🙂

Well, I'm at work but I wouldn't call it working.

Currently investigating the perfect stuffing recipe.

yip, but I'm going to do a runner at 12:30. sod em!!!!

how you doing big lad?

I'm working. Would have liked to have had holiday, but didn't have any left after getting married this year and taking quite a large chunk of holiday in one hit for that....

Don't mind though as the roads were dead getting in, it's pretty relaxed here and my wife is having to work as well.

Today, tomorrow, the next day, the one after that, etc......... 😐

Not me, I put my daughter into her nursery and went back to bed, still there now. Occasionally the wife comes in and moans about doing all the wrapping, it's just white noise.

yes but in the loosest possible sense of the word

I've just laid the last of today's big project of ten slabs, now washed out and deciding when to phone the boss to tell him work is complete. Too early may result in "another job" cropping up which is not what we want! 👿

I'm in work but I'm not doing very much work. Mostly I've been writing up a list of things I will be doing in work over christmas.

Whether I get round to doing any of them today is debatable.

I think I'll nip down the supermarket later tonight to get the christmas booze in.

vortex, i am good Dave..thanks for asking...how are you?

Yes, but do not confuse "at work" with "working" 🙂

I am "attending", I've wrapped the Mrs presents, eaten a mince pie and I'm off for a run in a bit. I will mostly be finishing after that and on holiday until Jan 6th 😀

yes but in the loosest possible sense of the word

No change from the rest of the year eh ?

😉

doing OK Ton, same old same old.

looking forward to the break, i'll tell ya that much

Day off today and tomorrow (only because I got someone to take my shifts) but in every day after until NYE

Yep,
working here.. Interlink are deliverying tomorrow so orders up to 2ish will be shipped out via them instead off RM.

Technically? Yes.
Practically? Not really, no.

Yeah but I've already finished everything that needed doing today so just waiting around to see if they can find anything extra for me to do. Will probably get to leave early. I'll take an extended lunch break and bring back a load of mince pies to share for the afternoon I reckon 🙂

Well, I am in the office.

Although the absence of students is making today a much nicer day than usual!

anyone working?

Well, I'm on here all the time so, yeah... 😐

Yep, the next week is much like the last week except there'll be a poorly cooked roast dinner in the middle of it.

Yep, putting together software demo for my boss to run next week. It's not so bad, but trying to recall what the software did after a couple of years is the hardest part!

I'm in the office - thus far today I've opened visual studio, hit the "build project" button and opened a page in chrome.

I'm now pondering where to go for lunch.

I'm in the office reading this. Take as you will.

Heavily monitoring

STW &
Twitter

while typing some internet shizzle proposal 😀

"We recommend the use of Drupal 7 as a CMS platform as it's........."

i'm here in body, but not in spirit.

I've spent a bit of time on Deadspin this morning, now catching up with STW.
This afternoon will be spent researching what walking route me and my buddy should do during his half-term break

Yup.
Finish at 9.15 tomorrow morning.
Back in on Friday, so happy with that.

36 hour shift over New Year's Eve and New Year's Day though.
Not looking forward to it.

My shift starts at 3pm, 8hrs of warehouse fun, not looking forward to cycling in though!

I'm in work but actually working on a few personal projects. 😀

Yep. Although I would say I'm in work rather than doing work!

In tomorrow then a lovely 2 hr drive down the M5 to see the parents for Xmas and off until the New Year

Yes and im stuck with .......... bloody Christmas tunes...right now I could actually scrape my own face off with a hammer drill and rub the resultant bloody mess in broken glass than listen to anymore contrived jolly crap..please kill me now!!!!!!

Me and the lad (he's 3) have turned up to the office as a token gesture, in the hope the bonus is dished out today and as soon as it is....we're out of here.
Saying that, I've had quite a few emails come through which required action and for that alone I feel the day has been worthwhile

No change from the rest of the year eh ?

Not me - teacher on a well earned break!

A teacher on a break? Not so rare... 😉

I'm working from home, was planning to drive up to Shropshire from Surrey later on but weatherman suggests best not to.

In today at 2. Same as tomorrow. It's not going to be fun at all.

I finish up on 17th January, no days of until then for me.

I am in the office and well, not really doing much to be honest. Just been out for a wander and I can confirm it's now getting 'a bit windy' and some stuff is being blown around outside in 'that London'

Well, I'm at work but I wouldn't call it working.

Would have liked to have had holiday, but didn't have any left after getting married this year and taking quite a large chunk of holiday in one hit for that....

Don't mind though as the roads were dead getting in, it's pretty relaxed here and my wife is having to work as well.

unfortunately yes, but I have a bottle of rum under my desk that's getting cracked open shortly!

so, essentially, I have no plans to do anything else this morning bar consider an acceptable time to commence the opening of the rum before we head out on the piss!

I'm at work, a machine is running so I'll take opportunity to fit the rim stips (if they turn up in the post today) to my recently finished new fat bike wheels 8)

I'm, er, working from home. Might wrap some presents later.

Yep, and just had the call, I'm in all night tonight and Christmas Eve.

Flood duty, this rain can do one. 😈

Im working today and til 2.00pm tomorrow. Mainly clearing up a backlog of emails seeing as most of my colleagues seem to be on holiday now!

Another on the "at work but not working" category. I'm attempting to find some people to work for us next year but it's a pretty halfhearted effort in truth. I'm in for more of the same tomorrow then off until the second.

Another in attendence here, got a few orders to pick later ready for New Year.

I assume I'm not the only one who has written just enough code to make sure that anyone looking through repository check ins will come away with the impression that they've done something?

I'm at work, attending to some urgent email filing. Then I'll get on to the secure destruction of confidential papers and clean my desk. I'll save tidying the cupboard until friday.

WFH. traditionally we work Xmas eve and they let us go at lunchtime, but this year they've given us the whole of Xmas eve off. so we're hoping the "finish at lunchtime on the last working day" idea gets carried over...

Then not back until 2nd Jan, I do like working for a manufacturing company, guaranteed not to have to work between Xmas & New year

anyway, done a bit of debugging, a bit of coding, a bit of investigation and a QC check for one of my colleagues. right now it's lunchtime

to be fair I have eased from tardy to this

you must be fast asleep now then 😉

I was done at 11!
Been to get a few last minute bits, fell out with van door as it ****ted me in the wind and took home chips for the tribe from the chippy. Now all making upside down gingerbread men which look like reindeer. Pretty cool.
Have a good one folks!

Ton, I passed you on Dock Street (you going the wrong on a one street) this morning as you were going into work. Didn't seem as bad that I was working too.

I am... in the very loosest sense of the term

yes but just back from an extended team meeting in the pub

For anyone "working" hard

here's a quiz to do http://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/quiz/2013/dec/23/1

Pretending to work at xmas should always include a quiz of some form

Busting a gut actually! Hardly had any time to piss about on here.

Deadlines, deadlines, deadlines.

Another one of the 'sat in the office being paid to be on the internet' brigade here.

All todays work cleared, tomorrows cases prepped. As are cases through till New Year. My turn to cover the office till 5 today. Thank god for smart phones.

Mate and I have been playing lottery winners top trumps on the rightmove web site - close enough to work related to get away with it. Seems his Leicestershire has some seriously spectacular properties/man caves compared to Derbyshire......

WFH today. DHL just brought my new work iPhone so I'm getting that set up and moving everything over from the Blackberry. A good day to prat around doing stuff like this as I imagine moving contacts will be a bit challenging.

In work today but all jobs nailed. Just waiting for "father Xmas" to pickup a half dozen kids bikes we've yet to go out and a couple of last minute services weve done for desperate road riders, then its off to the pub for a well earnt whisky. Slowly working our way through a huge jar of Quality street gifted to us by a regular customer, nom nom nom! Ready for Chrimbo now, hell of a year! 🙂

I'm working...

In tomorrow morning too, then off until Monday when I'm back in (apart from New Years Day). No rest for the wicked and all that!

Working until 7 today. 5-7 will be at our Helpdesk. I don't think there'll be anyone to help.

9-3 tomorrow. Might write a conference abstract. Or throw out some files. Probably the latter.

Not so much working as lurking , two cases in court boxed off pretty quickly bonus visit to the cells to explain to a Charles Bronson wannabee that when the judge said "you can have your bail" it was a slip of the tongue and he meant you are remanded in custody now just watching the clock and pondering the coming fun.

Finished all my work by 9:30am.. Finish work at 5pm. 😐

Back in tomorrow and have no work to do. 👿

I am in work tomorrow too.

However I have made the executive decision not to do anything that could be considered to be at all constructive 😀

yeah, I am, oh hold on, no I'm not, I'm boozing

Self employed and working for a bit this afternoon.
There's a few important things happening at the end of Jan which need working on now for print/shipping deadlines.

Better than been out shopping in this grim weather though!

Ton, I passed you on Dock Street (you going the wrong on a one street) this morning as you were going into work. Didn't seem as bad that I was working too.

Craig, i do every morning....why such a lovely cobbled road is not a bribleway is a mystery to me..... 😆

merry xmas too mate.

Yep, although just about to disappear, In tomorrow, Back in Friday too 😀

Nice being on a contract somewhere that doesn't shut for Christmas for once 8)

20 minutes left.
lurking.
No uk users online but the French and the Czechs are still there.

Knocked off at 3. Back in again on Boxing Day for the Sale mania.

We finally closed a deal that we've been trying to do for months which has been very stressful. It is so good to think I haven't got to be late home day after day. Just got to get home tonight though, mind. Trains seem to be running at the moment.
