Not me. Today is my last day until I return on January 2nd, so I'm scrambling trying to get everything completed before I leave. I'm in charge of redesigning our Arizona DC, and the project is moving along while I'm out. So I have to have all my pre-work done before I leave today. Don't ask why I'm browsing ATOT!!!

Christ I hate being a consultant.

you work????


:D
Not really for reason as above ;)

In fact not noly do I get 2 weeks off, but I may be getting a month off since there is a lag from when they need me back, if they will at all. I guess we'll see.

Thankfully about 3 days before I got that news I asked my boss to change me over from a bill pay scheme to a salaried one. Now that I won't be billing I'll get a healthy salary anyway!


nice!

We're having a "Christmas" lunch today. In other words, come in to work and eat, and then just leave. :D

You guys who have 2 weeks off... are you teachers or what?

I get off Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, and New Year's Day. It could be worse, I guess.

No rest for me at work. I'm always moving around the store making sure everything is going smoothly. I'm happy I had today off though. With my extra time, I went out to breakfast with a friend, saw LOTR:TTT (finally), got a haircut, and deposited my check in the bank. Now what to do...?
