so why do you go into work when everyone else is off?

please help me understand!

I have done this on occassion. Sometimes work needs to get done to meet a deadline regardless of holidays.

Or it could simply be a good day to come in and have the lab and equipment to myself.

He said work normally on days off. Thanks for responding to something different.

If you are playing at work, then it's not working. I don't count doing lab stuff as working.

Lab stuff is working. I don't have server racks in my cube. It's where I spend 25-90% of my time depending on the day.

I enjoy working and get bored when i have days off + i like getting shit done, being forced to wait until monday to finish my testing sucks

In this instance its because we are running at 150% because we have that much to do. we are very busy not because people are slacking but because what we make is in that large of a demand. losing a day simply puts more stress on everyone. and as Jumpem said i would have the equipment to myself and could easily get 2-3x more done on that single day then on a normal work day.

Nearly everyone i work with does the same thing from time to time. I can send my boss an email at midnight and get a response within 5 min. we are all workaholics. He actually didn't send us the information about the meeting we have on Wednesday because he knew if he did we all would spend all weekend working on stuff for it.

This, i wish i could run the text equipment from my house, but if i could do that it would prob be 100% automated and i wouldn't have a job
