Reply to: When are we all finishing for Christmas ?

[fridge]

finished last Friday and not back until beginning of Feb 08 oh and a new year thing is to stop

[miffy]

I finished today and I don't have to go back ever

Similar... I finish on the 21st and will need to find another gig next year.

I might take Jan & Feb off though (unless something lucrative finds me first, then I'll pack the bench away and stuff it in the shed for another time)

Will probably start to look again early in the new year, but for now, it is some serious chill out time.

now that's what i call sport!

don't the gamekeepers try to stop you though?

We don't get many hold-ups for slow play through the lion enclosure!

The course is right next to the zoo. There's an emu who is nearly always watching the first green. It probably thinks the hole is full of thousands of eggs.

I finish Fri 21st, although I've just been told that I should hand over any outstanding work on Thurs 20th, so I get the feeling I'll be allowed to invoice for an easy day at home on the Friday

Not sure when I come off the bench - NewClientCorp haven't given me a definite start date yet, although it's early Jan, supposedly.

and for me 17th to the 2nd. which in reality is the 14th to the 2nd.

i might do a bit from home i they really want it.

Trouble is, I fancy a bit of golf in Whipsnade.

Finish 21st. Back in again on the 8th Jan. 3 day a week contract for the first quarter, so I can do more skiing. Then back to 5 days a week for Q2 and Q3. Q4 unplanned.

We've gone live early so my screensaver has already kicked in, although I'll be sitting in front of it until the 21st - after all, every little helps(tm). Still don't know there's something to come back to after that - change of regime, new world order etc.

[Bright Spark]

Client was insisting that I come in over holiday period as nobody
else in the team is around to provide support, but good old
Tfl managed to organise some repair works near liverpool street station,
which means the line I normally travel on will be closed.

So I'm finishing up on 21st dec and coming back on 2nd Jan..

[rootsnall]

We've been TOLD that we can't have any days off due to a go live. They are muttering about weekends also. I can feel an extreme case of 'personal problems' coming on !

[wendigo100]

Last day 21st. Haven't decided whether to pop in over Christmas - it's peaceful at the office, the roads and trains will be half-empty, and every little helps (tm).

Trouble is, I fancy a bit of golf in Whipsnade.

Chan,

Chantho, you forgot your "Chan".

Tho.

Thanks for the reminder. I have now moved the onus to the reader of the posts, as mentioned in my new sig. So far you are the first to take this option.

27 Dec - 7 Jan / despite lots of resistance. Resistance was less when I stated that I wanted to quit.
