I finish this Friday and go back on following Thursday, 3 Jan.

Nice break but would have been nice to have two full weeks.

Deleted user 20 December 2007 11:02:46

Two weeks muthafucker. Going to Portugal on the 27th for a week \o/

Maybe I'll drop in on CyberClaw.

Deleted user 20 December 2007 11:04:00

From tomorrow I don't have a job.

So... err... \0/.

(for the time being)

Bollocks, I knew this would depress me.

It's going to be weird having time off over Christmas, first time I've had Xmas Day off in five years \o/

I usually take pretty much all of December off.
Monday the 3rd was my last day at work.

I'm off from today, and back on the 10th of Jan. So, 20 days off in total (although I'll have to keep an eye on the SQL server replication).

Looking forward to it this year. My family had a couple of awful things happen last Christmas, so we're hoping for a better one this time. I've also worked my backside off at work and haven't taken a day off since mid-August - so I feel like I've earnt a rest. I also have an (excited) 6 year old daughter - who's now able to get 77% on the first song in Guitar Hero 3 (under 'Easy'); so that'll keep her occupied whilst daddy plays Mass Effect

All you people who have got two weeks off: May the fleas of a thousand camels infest your hairy armpits.
Seriously though, if it's not come out of your annual holiday allowance where the hell do you work (and where do I apply)!?

Boxing Day is arguably the biggest racing day of the year, so if I wasn't in a betting office I'd be watching and betting on the racing in one way or another - might as well get paid for it. ^_^

After today I'm off until Jan 3rd.

Go Jesus!
