Luckily it's only a few hours for me.
-
Are you a mailman?
If so, get your ass back out there and deliver my stuff.
-
At work now. I think we get to leave at noon.

Hell no. But I know people that work at usps and I'll let them know to take extra time delivering your stuff!

Me too. But I still had to wake up at 5am ;_;

If work didn't make us take this week off I'd be working today, on my birthday.
-
I'm at work =\
Not much going on though, and should be out of here a couple hours early.
-
i won't be working on january the 7th :p
-
Shouldn't Xmas Eve be tomorrow anyway? Why do we call today Xmas eve? And why is the whole day referred as Xmas Eve when it's still morning? Makes no damn sense.
And why can't I experience snow for once!
-
Xmas and New Year's Day on Wednesdays suck...
-
Sysadmin checking in - what's a holiday?

Hang in there fellas -- we're almost to the big day!!

Lucky bastards who have a job ...
-
been at work since 9, stuck here for at least another 3 hours.
-

We got 6 inches yesterday, I'll trade you :))
-
Well, I'm off work until Monday. Merry Newtonmas, everyone! Happy Saturnalia!!
-
Do you guys get time and a half or is it not a real holiday?
I may do some designing today if I have the extra time between family get togethers and getting ready for tomorrow.
-
I did a full time job and it's 9PM here and I'm still working...I have nothing else to do anyway, nobody to spend xmas eve with, nobody to give a gift. I do it completely voluntarily because I might as well work, it will at least pass the time faster.
I'm not whining or anything, just to let you guys know that even if you do have to work on xmas eve, if you've got anybody waiting for you at home you have no reason to be unhappy. :thumb:
-
I have to work Xmas day :(
-
Been here since nine, I got another 3 hours as well. You wouldnt think that someone who works for a University would have to work till 5 on Christmas eve....
-
"Working from home" today. Glad to have a job. Glad to have a job that lets me telecommute.
-

Come visit! We've got about a foot right now.

Up to 4" tonight :)
We might get that here, but I'm back in WI right now so I'm not sure. I'll have plenty of snow to go back to in January though, I'm sure! And even more bitter cold than here... :p

I just starting working on a bottle of single malt scotch (The Balvenie Doublewood 12 yo).
I wish I had a man like demik to help with this job. But I'll muddle through as best I can.

What kind of job do you have?
-
reporting for duty*
*today that means drinking beer at my desk
-
Worked 1-6 today. At least we get a free case of beer today, though, I got a discounted case since the one I wanted was a bit expensive.
-
Looking forward to some Chinese food tomorrow.

I write documentation for Sony Computer Entertainment (i.e. PlayStation stuff). Writing manuals & packaging, and onscreen language are all part of my job. Any English that appears on a PS Vita or PS4™ screen that's not part of a game went across my desk. Much of the PS4™ packaging & manuals, and all of the PS Vita packaging & manuals went across my desk. Often I'm all that stands in between the consumer and badly-translated Japanese. Been with Sony 2.5 years now. Love it. I telecommute at least once a week.
Merry Christmas.

Is your degree in technical communication? I had a class in that and it seemed kind of fun. How did you end up landing that job? Just curious, and sorry for off topic.

Actually, my MA is in English (Creative Writing). However, I never had trouble "transitioning" from fiction to technical docs (some might say there is no difference, ha ha ha). A colleague I worked with previously recommended me for the Sony gig. Reputation and people-networking are the two biggest factors in scoring good work in Silicon Valley. I've rarely found a good job by blindly submitting a resume. YMMV.

luckily things are different here

aint that the truth lol

I love "full-circle" discussions like these ^^^. This one was got a really sincere chuckle out of me. It wasn't just the trademark question either... this was a real ensemble thing for me. :))
