Roll call

[xoggoth]

So who's still working then? Many working over the holidays or even at Christmas itself?

Just winding down here, got to rebuild a new machine which is basically triggering a build and wandering off for an hour, 4 or 5 times over.



(clearly we need a COVID equivalent of this)

Good excuse in my first job. It took about 20 minutes to load the operating system before you could compile anything.

Been off looking after wife since October. Company is holding role open for me and paying a retainer until I can return (will be open until at least end of March).

[courtg9000]

Still working.
Will knock off at 14:00 tommorow which is usual and be on call. My last ever Christmas on call.
Back working on the 28th and then close for good on the 31st.

Taking Xmas Day and NYE off, billing the rest. 2020 saw me out of work for the longest spell in 30 years.

Only BH and weekends off (client too disorganised to arrange weekend working). Just got assigned a new piece of work today, got 120 days testing to do before the end of Jan, something called EU Exit.
