Not very productive. Sort of hoping the supers (whats left of them) let us out at least a little early...i mean come on...There are only like 15 people online and usually I am seeing like 50.

One would have thought that you would be swamped for the next couple of days. Go figure.

BTW, no traffic in L.A. today. I got in way early.

I half expect to get served with something today - attorneys are buttheads.

Merry Christmas.

I had to write a blog, fire off some client facing emails, finish writing a report and create a front end query in a customer's database.

Skipping lunch and getting off at 2.

Where the heck are schools still in?!? My kids have been off since last Friday.

MotionMan

It's a high school, they only get next week off (and the day after new years). Most of the school districts around here are on this schedule (Upstate NY)

I'm surfing ATOT how busy could I be?

There are times I've been ultra busy at work and still surf ATOT at the same time. As a matter of fact, I think I am less productive when ATOT (or my RDP connection in general) is unavailable.

If I have a browser open, I'm not busy. This week has been pretty slow.

Leaving an hour and a half early... could be better. I kinda get screwed for coming in early. Some people come in an hour after me and then get off early at the same time.

this, I use ATOT as a pressure valve which allows me to be more productive. It is coworkers that slow me down; which are not here today. Yesterday and today were some of the most productive days yet.

Okay, so now I see only about five people online. Christ, if it hits 4:00pm and no one is around, I'm out of here.

I only feel obligated to stay because I am new :)

It's dead here. Company holiday observed as well as Monday. But my dumb client doesn't have the day off.
I would take the day off, but all those that can support what I do are out of town.
AIX and FileNet can bite me.
Good news is, I have interwebs all day with nobody judging me.
Damn I'm bored.
I should have slacked off this week so I'd have something to do today. Damn my work ethic.

I called it. I was served with some discovery via personal service about an hour ago.

I really hate attorneys.

Cookie baking, bread making, etc...and dishes, dishes, dishes.

Oh...you mean work as in job for pay?

The same as every other day...non-existent.
