Are people working this week?

Or does it feel like a lazy Friday all week? I had to put in a 14 hour day yesterday. Was just talking with a friend in Corporate America and they are screwing around all week and have lots of different office parties.

What's your work week like before Santa comes?

Preparing decorations and readying things for Christmas dinner has to be the hardest week of my year followed by cleaning up the dinner mess and packing everything for another 11 months in early January.

Ridiculous. But family you know?

What's this office work you speak of?

From now till the new year has to be the most unproductive week in corporate America. Not much gets done, I guess unless you are in IT...then you might have some deployments while things are slow.

When I was still working and had accumulated significant vacation time I'd be out of the office from the second week of December through the New Year. It was sweet.

Yup. Trying to get a design done for prototyping in early January.

I haven't worked for the last 25 years. No point in starting this week.

Truth be told, a bit of lawn mowing, showing a prospective tenant around, walking the dogs, dog vet visits - and bills, minor roof leak to fix, vehicle maintenance...

Fantastic Captain, I hope it's for some very cool stuff!

Yes I have completely forgotten about the wings I'm sorry to say, I will get on those right after Christmas. I have looked into shipping my Ducati to London, not bad at $750, so maybe I'll be back next year.

Shaun, I've been working on the railroad all the live long day....well, not really. I did mod the layout as my wife wanted a clear path from the front door for our guests this coming weekend.
Could be worse.

Maybe I should have moved the trains out from behind the coffee table...DOH!

Only for everyone else's enjoyment! I'm very thoughtful like that.

Video private. I think you need to uncheck a box on YT so we can see it.
