Well as of this afternoon there’s only me and the project manager left in the Spain office for the rest of the week. I’ve only had five emails all morning as opposed to a norm of 25-30 a day. The German plant has shut down for Christmas and I’m not getting any response from other locations so I assume everyone is in Christmas mode. I’ve a stack of things I should be doing but I’m waiting on other people to reply to my emails. I’m a bit bored actually. Looks like I’ll just have to surf PH instead.

Is anyone else in Christmas wind down mode already? Or are you mega busy now and why?

On my own, finding great reasons not to do anything.

everyone wants money at this time of the year, so I'm busy.

Office exceptionally quiet - production rooms are rather mad however...

everything is frozen in about one day so will be quiet tomorrow, but right now is should be testing and booking things in.

Rest of the office is busy and departments must have at least 70% of staff in between Christmas day and New Years and still deaking with the hurricaine and flood claims that have happened this year.

Me trying not to be busy as last day at company 30th December

Mad rush on at the moment, and as everyone had not used up all their holidays we're a bit thin on the ground which doesn't help matters
At least it's my turn to be off tomorrow and I'm going to play in the snow and see Santa

Very Busy, I have to finish off 4 jobs before the end of the month.

At least one of them was finished off yesterday though.

Busy as hell! Got to finish a major project by Thursday as the clients are visiting and it's not even finished yet, let alone tested

Pretty quiet around here with about 1/3 using up their holidays - A1M was nice and quick this morning, better than the last 2 weeks where we couldn't have more than a couple of days without some tw@t running into someone else and blocking great chunks of it(extended opening hours and xmas lunches - just what we need, everyone half cut all times of the day)

edited because I can't spell quiet
