    The Friday Christmas Feeling

    8:00 arrive in the office to be met by a blur of Christmas jumpers.

    9:00 Concentration hindered by ghetto blaster playing Christmas music.

    10:00 Press-ganged into buying raffle tickets and entry to the office charity bingo.

    11:00 The bingo begins. Tools downed throughout the offices as an email is being fired out to all and sundry every couple of minutes with a number in it.

    11:30 Same bingo game dragging on, oh so slowly.

    12:00 Office network crashes under the strain (ironically denying the IT Director his rightful win).

    13:00 Told to stop working on the one task I have because it is adversely impacting someone working on the same piece of code.

    13:30 Having scratched around for other work, only to find none of it has been approved, decide to read internet, but internet is unavailable due to the networking issues.

    14:00 Decide to go home. Go to car park (see previous thread detailing chronic parking problems at client site) to discover my car is blocked in by seven other vehicles.

    14:05. Back at desk. Internet is working. Phew.

          Today the Mumbai/New York mob have been giving me hell. Probably busiest day in last 3 months.

          Who are these heathens who don't celebrate Christmas?
