Ok, who's actually doing anything at work ?
Pretty quiet here, apart from me sorting out a very broken finance system two mornings in a row nobody is mithering, should really do some prep for next year but have completely wound down now. Everyone else is "working" (yeah, right) from home.
Still, as the system decided to crap out the poor finance bods will have to be in over Christmas, I get the props for fixing it though which is good.

I'm trying not too
Been landed with sorting out a production test system as the bloke who "administers" it has been signed off with stress for the foreseeable Would be fine except I know very little about VisualBasic that it has been written in or the SQL database that it accesses. Embedded C++ is not a problem but this POS is another matter.
So as you can imagine I'm less than motivated.
Got to do my performance review tomorrow too, deep joy

Long turnaround today (6-2 yesterday and 2-10 today). Dunno what's in the workshops for me to tackle today, yesterday was rotary burring some Mag-beam shafts while being observed for my NVQ qualifications. I'm safe in the knowledge that come 10pm tonight and my couple weeks off for Christmas that I will (on paper) be a qualified Mechanical fitter approx 9 months sooner than expected.

WFH to send a handful of emails, and to do some more work on my laptop. I have 3 official appointments tomorrow (for which I need to get to the office), then I am free till the beginning of the new year 2012.
Christmas rocks!

Going to be a long one here today, had a dismissal this morning and still loads of products to finish making before I can shut the door.
I normally let everyone go at lunch time, but theres no chance today.

On a wind down, got some things to (but not much at all) and am waiting on one urgent piece of work doing...
I've emailed the Service Manager about this and finished the letter with:
I'm slightly concerned he hasn't replied yet
