who else is working today?

clavery · #1 07/03/2006, 10:19 AM

I feel like I'm the only person working in all of NYC today. I basically told my whole staff to stay home and I'd cover the department - why did I do that? I'm the boss - I should be the one staying home and sleeping!!!!!

So far, I've read the NYTimes, WSJ, cleaned out my whole mailbox, cruised the Lounge, and looked up mortgage rates. So what am I gonna do for the rest of the day?

Who else is stuck working today?

VoidRaven · #2 07/03/2006, 10:22 AM

Yo....right here.....stuck in the office. Wife is working today too. Totally bites, but what ya gonna do? I didn't plan to take the day off like I probably should have but it's all good. Still a short week anyway.

I'm definitely bored though. I'm saving a run to the post office and some other errands for later in the afternoon. That way I can do them and then go home.

Im working today and tomorrow; the biggest beer selling day of the year. Too bad it's not the biggest sign making day of the year

I feel like a bump on a log today. I guess I could go take inventory of something.

I'm working....... it's also Canada Day, so we're not really getting many calls or anything.
I'm shooting to ask for Wednesday off though.

I figure I'll hit Bryant Park during lunch and just crowd watch. I have a dumpster in my office so I can go through old files this afternoon and purge, and I brought in some blues CDs, so I can listen to tunes and clean in the afternoon...while I watch the clock slowly tick by..............

Hobster · #7 07/03/2006, 10:48 AM

I am here physically, not mentally and obviously not "working"

dinoman · #8 07/03/2006, 11:07 AM

I'm working as much as I can today while its cool! Nice overcast day today, as long as it doesn't start raining. Hope its like this tomorrow too, could get a lot of painting done while its not 100º outside.

JeRmZ · #9 07/03/2006, 11:08 AM

Hey, I'm here. Don't tell me they actually expect me to DO something other than just be here!!!!!

Restocked my candy bowl - PB cups, tootsie rolls, mini baby ruths and butterfingers, and york peppermint patties. At least I'll eat well through the afternoon!!!!!

Go shoe shopping in Manhattan?

I worked Saturday and Sunday. (I saw 60 ER patients in 12 hours yesterday, as did the other doc. I'm fried today.) I also work tomorrow, then I'm off on a 2300 mile cycle trip on Thursday.

How many of those were victims of ignorance and fireworks?

A good boss leads from the front instead of pointing his finger from the rear.

If it's any consolation, I'm at work also.

Sea Ninja · #20 07/03/2006, 01:21 PM

My work is so dead and I have to be here until 6:00. All I want is a beer and some bbq. Oh well, at least I get paid for drinking all day tomorrow. I love paid holidays.

pnosko · #24 07/03/2006, 05:49 PM

I got punished for working today.

1. No Internet availability all day.
2. My badge wasn't working, so I could not leave the office without escort.
3. My wife dropped me off and kept the truck, so I could not abandon the office.
4. I forgot my cell phone.

I felt so out of touch and disconnected-- like I was living in the era when Nina was young!
