This sucks arse. Just about every freakin' non-retail company is closed today, but does the gov't shut down for the day? No. So I'm stuck here browsing the damn internet all day. :) I'm protesting by not doing any actual work! :)

This sucks.:|
I work for a small IT consultant, I just showed up at my Friday client, and apparently I didn't get the memo about them being closed today. I'm feeling a little dumb.

It's nice when noone bothers me for help.

I'm getting a ton of work done. I'll probably leave around 1 or 2PM. Then I plan to do some more work at home.

Definitely, no shopping for me today. I prefer not to see the worst in people. Black friday makes people nuts.

Yes work.

I'm drinking Tuesday's leftover coffee because I forgot that the office chick wasn't coming in today, she always brings me coffee.

Since I support Stock Traders, I gotta be in when they are...Since the Stock Market is open today, I have to come into work.

Since 90% of the time I'm playin games anyway, it's ain't too bad.

Now I gotta figure out what I shall widdle away my time today playing. Stronghold? Ghost Recon? Return To Castle Wolfenstien?

Hmmmmm.

Present.

But it's dead slow here so I'm not worried. I plan to spend the day looking for & buying plane tickets.

Plus I only have to work 7 hours today since they forced us to take 1/2 hour lunches twice earlier in the week. So I came in 30 mins late & will leave 30 mins early.

Works out well for me.
