Finished early today and not back until the 7th Jan. Made the mistake of "nipping to Asda to get a few bits" this afternoon. Had to queue for 20mins or so at the checkouts and then took 30mins to get out of the car park.

I finish work at 2pm on christmas eve and im back in on the 27th at 6 in the morning NICE!!!


David Jenkins - 21/12/07 at 10:17 PM

I've had a very strange day - a bit like the last day at school before holidays...

This morning I was playing bowling on a Wii, against my MD and my Project Manager, amongst other people!

Had some lunch, then most people went into the meeting area for pop quiz against people from other companies within our building. As I know three-fifths of very little about such music, I played 5 frames of pool against one of my colleagues (I won, 3 frames to 2 )

Finally, at around 3:30, the MD sent an e-mail around saying that he was off to the pub in 15 minutes, and he's buying. Last man out, lock the doors!

I've only been there 6 weeks, and I still haven't got used to it...

Part timers. I've got a site to decommission christmas eve, can't start work until 5.30pm. Then it's back at work boxing day I think I have a day or two off sometime between now and new years, but i'm on call new years day (not that i'll make too much sense to anyone phoning me before about 3pm ), and then have to welcome a newbie to the company on the 2nd. Oh, and i'm the only sod on call this weekend too.

Mind you, I do have february off...
