End of Your Working Year?

[jakarta]

Have just emailed a Client Final Report & Invoice for the year, got some admin clean-up I could do next week (Sort out VAT Return etc.) but I am essentially done for work until 3rd of January.

My biggest Client has a similar shut down which is a pain as I have a backlog of work to do on various sites for them which will now have to be done in January.

Is anyone else having such a long break or are you doing stuff next week? I'm not absolutely sure I want / need / can afford such a big break!

are you doing stuff next week?

My work never ends. I have 5 chapters of a book to go through among other things (this is a co-authored text book, and my co-author signed off all the chapters without my approval, and we are now having to make further corrections; unfortunately he has a poor eye for grammar, and the meaning of words, and consistency and editing, which is not the best thing when the tome is a 300 page rant about reproduciblity in biomedical research; I am getting angry again . . . .just . . . thinking about it).

However I will not go 'back in' to the office till January. Lots of family tio visit and stuff to do. I'm very fortunate.

I hope everyone on NSC has the best possible Christmas thay can; I know its really tough for some.

Nope, next Wednesday, Thursday and Friday in the sweat shop for me. Although that will be end of contract too, so I'll have the following week off

Taking one day off next week to visit family but working the other two. I actually don't mind it - after a nice four day break, a few days work with hardly any meetings/emails/interruptions is a great chance to get stuff cleared up. Will work from home too so days will be more relaxed.

 

[Biscuit Barrel]

Working until 5pm today. Back in next Tuesday and Wednesday. Work is pretty slow this time of year, so I don't mind working.

Finished last Friday, and not back in the office until Jan 4th. Lovely stuff.

 

[RandyWanger]

My last day today, I think 4 will be the very latest I'll be here, even though my company doesn't close down, even open Christmas day! I'm not in a customer facing role so don't need to be here.

I always take the Xmas week off and return on the 2nd. So this year it's a full two weeks off.

Are you an MP? Actually they probably have even longer off...

 

[Normski1989]

I'm working until 3pm today, and then we're off out for our Christmas meal this evening. Then no more work until 3rd January 2017!

How on earth will you get a productive economy behaving like this?

Seriously Happy Christmas Herr T, I know we cross swords often but I'm sure we would enjoy a Beer if we met up...

I started a new job in retail 11 weeks ago and am working on Boxing day from 14:00 to 18:00. A first for me. I could do without that, but didn't decline the 20% staff discount in the food hall earlier this morning.
