I hear you. Trying to look busy sucks. I am calling all my clients to wish them a happy holiday but that is only going to kill about 2 hours

God, I wish. Working tech support when the entire company is off on holiday sucks. I've had about six new calls in the last three days. And I'm working Monday too.

Spending lots of time on the internet, so you s had better get posting more to keep me entertained!

I have a half day on Monday, and in next Thursday/Friday as well. And unfortunately, I have a lot to keep me busy. Otherwise I would be out of here.

We've got beers and Afro Samurai on the projector planned for this afternoon at work, so it should go pretty quick.

Ok to cheer you up I can tell that my beers are finished. And I have to drive in the morning so my holidays don't really start until tomorrow. Those last hours at the office were pretty laid back. Everyone just kept wishing everyone merry christmas (were not that politically correct) and kept talkin BS. And I have to go back to work 8 hours before you guys. And you get to watch flames game tonight without waking up 5 in the morning.

Come work in IT sales if you're bored - I don't think any of my partners take holidays as they have been demanding quotes at an insane pace all day so far.

Drinking at my desk, reading CP. Other than the fact that I'm in my office rather than on my couch, my holidays have started.

You seem to assume that the finnish broadcasting company doesn't send every flames game live in their morning show?
