I like these days between Christmas and New Year’s Day. The office is practically empty and it’s so quiet. I’ve been able to get a whole lot of those niggly, “when I get around to it” type jobs done.

And I’ve been able to nip out to the sales a couple of times too. 🙂

Heh. Good on you. I’ve taken this week off (no pay, yarg temping) but next week I go back to having to figure out how to hand over 15 consolidated billing customers to whoever’s taking over for me - before I start my new job on the 7th of January.
