Pay no attention to this thread…I’m at freakin’ work on Christmas Eve, pretending to be working.
Oh, now I’m furrowing my brow, pretending like something on my screen is puzzling me. Ahhh…hit enter, and kick back…success.
This totally qualifies as pointless.
As does my job!
I, too, am pretending to be deeply immersed in my vocation.
My God, my job is tough.
Backspacing a lot sounds like you’re working hard, too.
::holding on 'til 2:00 PM::
I’m outta here at noon, but afterwards, I have to endure our company luncheon…I’m getting my 20 year award…
WTF happened to my life.
Work, work, work. Busy, busy, busy.
Not.
You all are lucky, I have to work until 430, if we are good then we might get out at 3.
30 more minutes for me, roughly. yay. ho ho ho
Count me in.
This is so pointless. I worked (well, I sat there) a long day yesterday, and hauled my ass in this morning for 8 AM so I can leave at 11. I should mention it takes me an hour to get to work, and it’ll take an hour to get home. Once I get home, I’ll have about 20 minutes with my boyfriend before we head out to the bus station and I get on a bus to Ottawa to visit my parents.
There are maybe four people on the entire floor. Why did I come in if my manager’s not here? Because this Nazi-ass place records my in and out times thanks to my lovely key card.
Yippee.
Whee.
Is there an interoffice competition, or is it purely for benchmarking purposes?
Working til 6:30 here. Should be slow tonight though. I still don’t know what I’m doing for Christmas. Hopefully something, because TV on Christmas sucks. 'Cept for A Christmas Story.
:: wanders off to see if 24 is on tonight ::
You all deserve an extra cup of eggnog, or a hot buttered rum.
Wishing you all a very happy holiday.
Be safe.

I’m at work for another hour…
I’m at work until I decide that no one will notice when I sneak out. I wonder if the “yeah, guys, I’m just going to dodge traffic and then work at home for a few more hours” will fly today.
Sigh, same here. Manager gone, clinic closed, no one else in my office. But I haven’t been here long enough to have enough time saved for both Christmas Eve and New Year’s Eve plus the respective days (all paid time off is lumped into one big pool, including holidays, and so I “had” to take Thanksgiving and the day following off as the building was closed), and so I’m here because my ID records my in and out times. I came in early and will be leaving slightly early, but I worked late recently anyway.
superbee, do you work for a crotchety old man who only gives you 2 lumps of coal for heat? Perhaps you have a son named Timothy?
Hmph.
Anybody named Marley used to work there? 
Merry Christmas!
Our office is open, too. We were told that we were open until six, our regular closing time. But the word in the halls is that we’ll be allowed out at two.
Woo! Only another two hours.
Thank dog that’s over with.
Now, on with the road trip to Grandma’s house…
Merry Christmas everybody. Be safe.
