Default Finishing work early . . . .

Well its 2.30 and I'm home from work already (didn't go to work until after 9) in preparation for the England match - watching Ecuador v Costa Rica with laptop at one side and and my beer fridge at the other side.

Ya can't beat being self-employed


What time is everyone else leaving work tonight?

Bob

I'm off at 5:30pm. I'm not a footie fan (I wish England well, but have no desire to watch the game) - and I'm really hoping for an easy commute home! I have an evil drive on most days (Basingstoke to Gerrards Cross) that usually takes me over an hour and involves 2-3 traffic jams, not much point even leaving the office until well after 6pm.

Tonight I am outta here at 5:30pm . The only problem I can see is that if all the men are watching the footie, then the only people on the road will be women

Working on some Enterprise Architecture training material for a client. Good timing as I can do this from home. However being a workaholic I actually want to get as much done as possible. So will probably finish at 4.55pm.

Been told we can leave so that we can get home for 16:40.
Most people live 30-50mins away, I'm only 10 mins, just trying to work out who at work knows where I live

Kick off is at 5pm but the programme starts at 4.15 for the build up.

Just cracked open my first bottle of the session
Hardest part was deciding between Cobra, Corona or Brahma - went for a Cobra.

4:45 I'm out of here!

10 minute journey home, should just get them coming out of the tunnel!

It's funny, I work with a Latvian who was cheering on Ukraine yesterday, why can't the Scots cheer on England?

How do you get to GC? Do you use any of the smaller roads around Hedgerley etc to avoid potential jams?

Sounds like carnage to me without all those blokes to keep you lot in line. Still, at least you can all bang into each other, rather than us.

I do use some of the smaller roads when everything else jams up but TBH the little country lanes are choc full of psychos in BMW M5s . Some days I'm spoiled for choice - do I choose the M3 & M25 - or do I choose the M4 J11....?

We're trying very hard to move to a lovely house in Fleet (right next to the pond) but sadly I'm cursed when it comes to buying or selling properties.....

4.15 + 45 minute drive and some tossers decide to colide on the M60, the Police had a good go at calming the traffic but people will drive through broken glass to watch England, ton up all the way home, brakes were smoking when I got back.
