I'll have to do something to make sure it's noted I was here, since all of management has the day off.

Nope, and I've got two more days off after then, then I work for 3 hours, then head to San Antonio for one of my VA medical appointments. Then work for 8 hours. After that, two more days off, then two more medical appointments in San Antonio, one day off, and then it's back to work for me...

I'm at work today... along with a few other folks. 90% of the office is out today since it's optional... just not for me!

Will probably cut out early to hit the malls once I make sure all of the shipments have come in and gone out.

i'm here... 95% of my team is not... but, to be fair, this is the best time of year to be at work: no one is here (incl. the manager) and there's little to no work to get done so it's actually very quiet and relaxing... i come in late, leave early and all the while save up vacation time for more hectic periods when i really do need to get away.

Desktop support for a major bank. It's dead today here, most people are taking the week off so I don't expect it to be any busier the rest of the week. I love it - I have to come in, but it's nothing like a normal work week around here. Until I have kids, I will never take this week off.

I thought I did, woke up early and drove accross town only to find out my boss didn't want me to come in. Thanks for mentioning that bud, when I talked about coming in on today before the holiday weekend. :|

Oh well, I needed to be up early because I've got a bunch of stuff to do.
:thumbsup: to starting a business so I can be my own boss.

No, but I had to work 7 days straight starting from last tuesday until yesterday (all through christmas weekend AND day). That sucked. I need today off. :p

Yes and I LOVE IT! I love working holiday weeks. The drive in is nice.. no one is here to bug you and it's usually so quiet the boss lets you go home early!

Not that I want more people to work though :p

I'm here. I'm fine with it, there is no one here so there's nothing to do anyway. I'd rather work on these days and save days off for regular weeks when it's busy.
