Not me! I intended to work a few days last week but quickly gave up the notion after only a couple of hours in the office. I thought about going in for a while today to finish some reports, but again, that's as far as it went. I'll try it again on Wednesday.

Not getting paid, but I'm "working" taking care of the grandbaby and doing my tank maintenance.

Hope you don't have to extract too many champaigne bottles Joey!

Matt was supposed to have the whole week off, yet he still went in for a half day today because he didn't trust anyone else finishing this Acura he's been working on.

My normal work day on Tuesdays is 2-8PM. No one has mentioned anything about the schedule tomorrow. Should I go in? :-P

In our case, you had to ask for permission to work. Otherwise one just takes the day off.

Regardless if I here or there, I'd still be on RC. Except here I can have a beer and occasionally work on mt tank.

I work at 4:00 tomarrow, and I just got home from work now. The plus side is I'm a server and I made an extra $150 this mourning for booze money tonight 8D. Down side is I'm going to be way to hung over to work tomarrow so I probably won't make much as for my lack of interest in working ha.

I got a ride home from work once in a tow truck while holding a Fudgie the Whale cake from Carvel.... that's about as close as I'll ever get to towing one.

If you have to extract the bottle, it's simply champain.

Last week, one of my partners pulled out a foot-long rubber object, with great difficulty I might add. The guy said his wife was out of town, and he took a Claritin-D tablet for a cold which made him squirrely. One thing led to another, and before you know it, he's in the ER.

I'm working today, but that's the way it is with enterprise IT. Services that users depend on can't be offline when they want to use them.

I guess you don't work in the Government then. I've gotten popups that say the computer will now be rebooted, and then it does before I have a chance to save anything.

Heh, no, I wouldn't do that. I don't really deal with desktop machines, though. But that would suck!
