2. Yes, but only until 3PM
Edited on Wed Nov-25-09 01:19 PM by rocktivity
And I'm definitely not complaining: two weeks ago, I was earning half the money working two-thirds of the hours!

Sub-answer: Yes, I have to learn how to do WebEx by Monday. But I don't mind that either, because I've heard them advertise on progressive talk radio.

Happy Thanksgiving, DU!

4. Till 3
Riding in this morning, I noticed that most of the car drivers took the day off. The road which is usually backed up to the top of the hill was clear all the way. Yet the usual amount of people were walking down to the train.

And as you can see, I'm hard at work. And working damn hard.;)

6. How much productivity do I lose each day due to DU?
I don't think I want to know, actually.

5. well I don't really feel like doing anything, if that's what you are asking
I already did a few things I had to get done for work, so I'm loafing as we speak - and I have tons of household stuff to do. (work at home, where the work never really ends.) Also kiddo is off school today, so that doesn't help in terms of efficiency.

Everyone wants to try to close on their property today, so my agents are crazy busy therefore I'm crazy busy.

18. No job since 2007, but I tore up some wall to wall carpet that had been
growing mold since the late '60's for much of yesterday, finishing this morning. I'm officially done till next week or so.

Bits and pieces of breaks while code compiles and things upload, but in general, yeah. Kiddo's got the day off and has been camped in front of the TV :(

21. Nope - unexpectedly got the day off, and have enjoyed it.
Errands in the morning, cleaning for company tomorrow in the afternoon, now a glass of wine and surfing DU.

Not bad at all.

22. I managed to listen to two conference calls and finish a PowerPoint
by noon. After that I was finished (I telecommute). Took the dog to the park.

24. Not really today, just work-related paperwork that needs doing.
But, I am working tomorrow, and at least the next ten days straight.

27. I'm off until Dec 7 so I had to wrap up everything I could today.
A couple of us who usually cover for each other are both off next week so I can only imagine what it will be like when I go back to work :scared:.
