Christmas is officially here

Well for me it is.
2pm today our ever so generous boss who's generally as tight as a tic's arse let us go early. I suppose by way of compensation for not having our annual crimbo do.

Anywho! thats it for me, no more work till 7am on the 5th Jan.

Re: Christmas is officially here

I (and other senior managers) will be working until 4:30pm tomorrow, covering for our colleagues who will be leaving at 2pm (probably 1pm if they are sensible, taking their lunch break from 1 till 2).

Saying that my Christmas won't start till I've finished my course of antibiotics then a 24-48 hour gap till I can have my first Christmas drink. (I can't touch a drop till then).

Roll on Christmas day.

Re: Christmas is officially here

I'm at work till 4pm tomorrow, back in on Monday, then got the 1st and the 2nd off.

The 4pm finish tomorrow is on the condition that nothing goes wrong(the joys of working in IT).
