[shrek]

Snap!

Things run much more smoothly with no permies about though, wish it was like this more often!

[Haloman]

It's normally quiet here. I've done my usual 2 minutes for the day.

Mind you, I've got to do a 600 hour generator service tomorrow morning, as it'll be due at appox 11am.

[Mister C]

I'm at work right now. My intention is to spend the morning reading thoroughly interesting things on the internet. The Christmas and New Year weeks are pointless from a work perspective when you're self-employed and rely on those with permanent jobs to give you work.

Life's a bit easier when your office is a spare room. The wife's at work and the cats are out staring at a pheasant in the field out the back. The house is perfectly peaceful and quiet and that's just fine with me.

Well my (half) day consists of emptying my desk as I leave the company after more than a decade. At least I can say I'm no longer a Banker after today!

We've had a screaming panic on a job that's been royally cocked-up, so spent the morning re-writing the whole job from scratch. Now for a brew, a mince pie and walk to the PR department for the view.

BRITAIN'S workers have long since stopped doing anything remotely productive, it emerged last night.

Despite employees being obliged to keep turning up until pretty much the end of the week, nothing much at all has been done across the entire spectrum of British industry since about 11.25 am on the 14th of December.

Office unit, Martin Bishop, said: "It's a bit like non-uniform day at school, except it lasts for about a fortnight and you probably shouldn't bring Mousetrap in. You still have to arrive every morning, but really you're just flesh on a chair.

"Pick up the phone a couple of times a day while making a serious face and you won't get any bother.

"By this stage I've already looked at everything on the internet that remotely interests me, including things that are as near to porn as I think I can reasonably get away with. Luckily I found an old magazine about antique chairs in the recycling bin so that's been keeping me going."

He added: "Tum-de-tum-de-tum."

Employment expert, Emma Bradford, said: "It's not strictly true to say that the entire UK pretty much gave up doing anything a fortnight ago. There's still some people working hard, who can be categorised mainly as 'hospital workers', 'shop staff' and '#####'."

Tube driver Roy Hobbs added: "In my line of work, you can't really slack off over the festive season, what with all the Christmas shoppers making the train slightly heavier.

"And while, as we all know, a child could do this job with their eyes shut, it's times like this when I could really do with a hot bath and a nice relaxing strike based on absolutely nothing."
