i love how everyone just gives up around this time of year… it seems that people aren’t motivated to work, i see more people on Ebay and QVC than i do on the intranet (working)… granted i’m guilty myself… i did nothing but sit on teh interweb yesterday… usually we are slow this time of year… how about where you all work??? ---

eh, I’ve got a big PHP project due by the end of the month… and I just ordered my new computer today for my SECOND workstation across the room (One workstation to handle sales and the front-office, one workstation to handle production). Usually this time of the year is slow for me, but busy for production because everyone has their “end of year budget” disappearing soon. ---

we r really busy w/ Clear Channel this time of year. alot of prep work for the Supercross series. i still have to take time away and surf the net to keep sane, no matter how busy we r. while my productivity hasnt dropped off, i have been guilty of frequenting ebay (xmas gifts) and am in the early stages of looking for a car (finally) ---

yeah… i have tons of ‘projects’ to take care of… just setup an multicast LAN for imaging, installing 160 new pc’s by christmas… i was asked to setup a sharepoint server, never did that before, so that’ll be fun… fighting with backups and schema… it’s all fucked (that’s what happens when people that don’t know do shit)… upgrade the blackberry server and so on… small projects to make the time pass… it’s just funny to walk around and see tons and tons of people out of the office or in the office and not giving a shit… on the other hand, i haven’t seen so many ‘tourists’ in town… more like rural folk coming in to shop and whatnot… the streets are crazy, it’s a PITA… ---

My end of the job remains steady but my office picks up a bit of work during the cold months. They design highways/bridges and sanitary sewer systems. So during the cold months they design them, during the warm months they build them. ---

I have been doing a restoration of a house in Sewickley Heights since last March. I’m busy. I get paid a daily rate, so if I take off, I don’t get paid. Also, no paid holidays. :wtf: But, I am my own boss, except as long as the homeowners are happy with my work. ---
