I have three things I have to do at work today. I can leave as soon as I am done with those three things. Very few people are working today, so nothing will get added to the list.
So, I can man-through those 3 things and be out of here in 90 minutes, or I can fart around on this board and kick myself at 2:30 when I'm still not done.
But three lousy little things, and then I am free.

Ha, I'm in the same boat, except I have to stick around until 2:30 regardless because I have a meeting.

I don't actually do finance anymore. I just talk about finance - so it is all words.

Me too! I am much better at the doing, not the talking - believe it or not! It was a surprise to many of us.

I'll have to work most of the day - I'm expecting/hoping that sometime this afternoon the boss will say "Merry Christmas everyone - go home" or words to that effect. But once I'm out of here, I don't have to come back until January 2nd. ;D ;D ;D ;D 11 days away from here. ;D ;D ;D ;D (Can you tell I'm happy about my 11 days? ) ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

Teleconference - so if they DO have cookies, I'm going to be seriously annoyed. Unless they ship them down here!

Shitfire! I just got called to a meeting later today. Seriously?! How late in the day is your meeting? Make sure you're three things are done before the meeting. Maybe someone will wise up and cancel it.

We usually get the nod to leave around 1pm on holiday weekends. So I'm taking lunch at 12 sharp, and then we'll see who's around when I get back. I went into the lobby around 10:30 and people were still dragging themselves in with travel bags. If they make an appearance today, and stay until 1pm, then they do not have to burn a vacation day. I still couldn't bring myself to come in that late though, but most here are shameless.

I actually thought my morning meeting was cancelled - it is a weekly, and I thought the guy running it was gone because he was out yesterday. But, alas, it happened. So, I pretty much hosed myself by writing this thread. Karma, you win again.

Ha, I'm in the same boat, except I have to stick around until 2:30 regardless because I have a meeting. I'm in this boat, the meeting WAS at 930 then management wanted 1/2 the people in the meeting in an informal meeting (where they summed up the past 2 weeks work for 2 hours) so then the meeting is at 3

Come on thyme, we both know you'll end up on here at 2:30 still happily messaging away.
I have to work a full shift today, and on real problems that have seem to come up. Some fairly heavy issues have come up at work just before Christmas.

So Thyme, still at work? My 2:30 meeting ended at 3:30 and produced at least 5 things I have to do before I leave work today. And they're closing the parking garage in an hour. Carolina, hope your meeting ended better than mine! Who schedules meetings for the Friday before Christmas, anyway?

I went in and did my 3 things and now I don't have to go back until Jan 2, 2013. I can go in if I want to get some things done in peace and quiet.

And everyone complains government employees don't work many hours, yet who is it that's still at work at meetings on the Friday before Christmas? Government employees.
