Then please explain why it is so unusually quiet on here today? Observation would suggest the usual suspects are not present.

All the unusual ones are though

Sasguru's not here because he's a permie. Dimprawn's not here because his mum's got a day off work and she's at home today and she won't let him use is hogging the computer's web-cam for her business.

What Mich said. Maybe the rest are getting some work done or raiding the stationary cabinet?

Aye, it's so much easier when it doesn't move.

As Bank Holidays cause so much confusion on CUK, allow me explain. They are working days (Monday's usually) when permies for the most part don't go in to work but still get paid, so they are a bit like permie holiday. I realise these concepts take a bit of getting used to and need further explanation, but you can look them up. For contractors it means roads and office are unusually empty. HTH.

In addition there are some of the more annoying ones that seem to pop every now and then, like Christmas Day and Boxing Day. They're always annoying as sometimes even the sandwich shop isn't open on the way to the office.

I am on contract in Aberdeen and they don't get or take the same bank holidays as England so ity is a normal working day. The embarassing thing is I just phoned the bank to complain thet the standing order for my salary due on the 28th has not been processed ....... "No sir it hasn't, the 28th was a Sunday and today is a bank holiday ...... "

I'm "working from home" today as well

Got a deployment at the end of the week and the entire team is based in Belgium plus we are behind schedule.

So done yesterday and today. Every penny counts.

I am almost finished listening to the Audio book of "Too big to fail".
It is amazing how blind the bankers can be to their own rick and just how secure or insecure their own companies were up untill almost immediately before the whole model started failing and Lehman collapsed.

I almost feel like I cannot trust them with my hard earned. But you have to put it somewhere, right.

So is it only us 6-7 people keeping the world ecomony running today?

I wonder if the world will notice a difference and find out that Sasguru and the likes are at home today doing nothing productive compared to them being in the office doing nothing productive.

Well I just bought a blueberry muffin and a banana and the euro didn't collapse while I paid. The bank was not broken by the e2,30 card payment.

Being a permie means I'm being paid very little to put my feet up.
