slowest work day ever

meltdown75 · Nov 25, 2005

Well, today our main database is down for a planned outage. There is literally nothing to do. The skeleton crew that is here is just kind of aimlessly wandering around chatting, or messing around on the internet.

Damn. I took a sick day on Wednesday too... should have waited until today.

Do most Americans have the day off, or do they have to book it off? ie. is it a stat holiday?

thankfully I have the forums... but damn... I could do this from home.

Most Americans have the day off, but I don't. I am pretty much in the same position as you, but I did something drastic....

I installed zMud.

I'm at work, too. Should be pretty slow today. We're aiming for some wine and cheese this afternoon.

I'd love to toss you some of the work I've got to get done today. Today ... my day off :| Was at the office from 6 a.m. until 8 p.m. yesterday, and still don't have everything resolved. Oh well, if it isn't done by 1 p.m. today, too bad so sad. I figure I'm really earning my trip to Vegas next week 😉

BurnItDwn · Nov 25, 2005

No day off for me.
Judging by the available parking this morning, I'd guess that about 1/4 of the people in this building have taken vacation days though ...

meltdown75 · Nov 25, 2005

the expressway was dead coming in today.

around here, when Detroit shuts down... most of the people also take the day off.

slowest work day ever
