When does everyone break up for Christmas?

I 'should' finish at 12 noon Christmas Eve, but we're not yet sure how long for............ We might have to work in between Christmas & New Year.

I know I shouldn't wish my life away, but I can't wait to finish, so we can get on with the MESS.

What are you up to this year?

We finish on Tuesday....after which I'm looking forward to a nice Christmas break, when I will be mostly doing plumbing, concreteing, roofing, drainage work..and other relaxing things! Back to work.. for a rest on 5th Jan.

Officially, we finish on Wednesday, then the office shuts down until the New Year, when I retire. In practise, we are likely to shut up shop on Wednesday lunchtime. Then next year I shall pop back in to sort out some outstanding jobs, pick up any e-mails etc.

One of the first jobs at home is to sort out the **** modem on my PC so I can get online: something's disconnected it from the dial-up connection program but no indication what, or why, or what do to about it. The troubleshooting application leads me to a multiple choice question where none of the available choices apply. PC World who sold me the kit in the first place were (predictably) about as useful as the udders on a bull. Oh dear, in the days of DOS it was at least possible to get in and fix these things...

I finished last Sat pm (shifts) i have taken holiday all this week (nights) and now start again on mon29th afternoons all over the New Year so at least i will get a few drinks in and recover from my hangover.

Just off to Suffolk to see No.3 daughter for Xmas (i knew i had bred her for some reason ) and also a couple of days at my brohers in Ipswich.

Happy Xmas one and all.

Rum tum if its Talktalk your on, lots of people in Oxforshire are having trouble with their internet connecting,

No, I've got a dial up connection to tesco.net, but it won't dial out. I'm pretty sure the problem is in the links between different bits of software. You'd think that as a software engineer I should be able to fix it, but to be a Windows expert you have to go on a course for about a month...
