I always invoice for the Friday.
But rarely do any work on any day of the week, so why make an exception for Fridays??
I usually leave at lunch time on a Friday to get home, anyway.

I have usually invoiced for a full Friday, but as contractor and as permie, I'm not sure I've worked very many.

I finished at 20:15 today. I just hate leaving stuff unfinished across the weekend.

The Post Office was my last one like that, you could take the Friday off altogether but most of the married blokes took the option of the Thursday night out on the piss away from home option instead.Originally posted by scooterscot View PostYou want at job with BAE

I personally don't work Friday afternoons. But I reconcile that with the fact that I usually start work around 07:30 M-Th.
A nice easy slide into the weekend, and a cold beer or two hopefully.

You want at job with BAEOriginally posted by rootsnall View PostI do like the places were everyone goes out on a Thursday night, rolls in at 10:30 and then bogs off home at lunchtime.

You've got me sussed.Originally posted by scooby View Postthat used to be me, but then i landed this gig and they dont do working from home!
i used to love using the 'do not send before' option in exchange then sodding off for the rest of the day!
Did 4 rashers of bacon from the farmers market this morning, yum yum, they we're only small things... the life of working from home does not compare to any other working experience.
I'll will work on weekends sometimes but then I actually enjoy it when returning from the gym or during some quiet time...

I've sometimes worked late on fridays when going back up north straight after, to avoid the worst of the traffic.
Of course "work" is used as loosely as ever.
