"Working" on Christmas Eve. . . . . sucks

[NolimitZ32]

So, I wake up today bright and ehrm early (9:00 am) yeah I was late for work. Roll in at 9:30 looking like death, feeling close to the same and discover that not only am I the ONLY person in the office but also that there are like 10 out of about 80 people on site (I'm a construction project engineer, work in a site-based office). So what in the holy sam hell am I to do? This sucks, I should be sleeping off my hangover not sharing my misery with these 4 walls. NICO please help me entertain myself till ~ 16:30. kthnxbye

I'm at work too,at least for the next 30 minutes.Been here since 6am though.

I already feel better. . . sorry but misery does love company. Seriously though I could completely understand working in an industry which actually functions on a day like today but for me its a completely moot point, no engineers/architects, client reps, subcontractors, etc. are at work today yet as a GC's rep I have to stare at a blank screen. Oh well at least I get to catch up on NICO and browse Z1 and CZP.

Here at work all day and Friday too. NICO to help break the monotony, in between building data exports for migrating to a new application, ad tedium.
But very grateful for no hangover!

Checking in. Also working Friday. None of our customers are open Friday and most closed around noon today, but I still had plenty to do...

Doubletime!

I had to work as well. Working for the local gas and electric company sucks a$$ but the cash it good.
