When do you return to work after Christmas?

[donkyboy]

We closed on 24th (half day) and don't re-open till the 4th Jan. I'm on annual leave till 24th January-though volunteered to do 3 hours of overtime working from home on the 29th and 30th for bit of extra money.

 

[marty21]

I've been off since the 16th , back on Weds , dreading it , but it should be quiet. If there isn't a new lockdown I'll be off for another week from the 7th Jan.

 

[donkyboy]

I had to book leave otherwise i would have lost it. From 24th Jan, booked every Monday and Friday off till end of March. Was going block book of couple of weeks, but opted for Monday and Fridays so end up only in the office 3 days a week.

 

[Orang Utan]

Wednesday 29th, only one more day off.
Feels like I’ve had no chance to relax though.
Could do with another week off but doing nothing

 

[Elpenor]

4th January I return to work.

Go home tomorrow - after lunch with my brother and tea at a mates in Bromley.


Not mad about the 3+ hour drive back in the dark tomorrow night. Have found a £22 travelodge at a service station as a night stop option if I’m not feeling up to the drive.

 

[Dragnet]

Had the last two weeks off, first shift back today.

Know how you feel Orang Utan. Flew by; coming back to a job I'm increasingly despising doesn't make it any easier. I need to get the job applications flying out in the new year.

 

[Riklet]

Im working tomorrow and 2 more days this week. Pretty standard as im part time in hospitality...

Going to have a month off in January though so I cant complain.

 

[Callie]

Weds 29th with a succession of staff off due to covid so going hell for leather. Joy

 

[StoneRoad]

Half day on the 23rd to 4th January 2022.

Will need to have a check on what's happening during that first week ...
I am scheduling a contingency & planning meeting as we've three new projects starting in January, to add to the two already in progress.

But first, I need to sit down with a large sheet of paper to do a CPA. Hopefully, that'll be tomorrow as a WFH.
And there are a couple of jobs actually in the workshop I said I would help with, so Wednesday & Thursday.

[I also need to have a contingency solution planned in case the workshop manager puts in another fit/sick note]

 

[dessiato]

I’m never going back to work. I’m too busy.

 

[mentalchik]

Had Christmas Day off...

 

[Badgers]

4th of January is which is pleasing

 

[High Voltage]

Pretty much like dessiato, never, if all goes to plan

 

[tim]

Finished on the seventeenth and back on the fourth.

 

[marty21]

Tomorrow ffs

 

[moochedit]

4th Jan.

 

[beesonthewhatnow]

I’ve got a couple of meetings on the 6th, but may try and shift them to Zoom so I’m can do them from home. Have to be physically in on the 10th.

 

[MickiQ]

4th of Jan but WFH for the foreseeable which given that 2022 is almost certainly the last year of my working life means forever

 

[pinkmonkey]

I need to do a bit today. I’m freelance, but whenever we’re manufacturing in China (I have one project there this year), it means xmas working, otherwise we won’t have things completed before Chinese New Year. I have a heavy cold (not covid thankfully) and I feel like shit, I wanted to sort business stuff out that wasn’t client work, whilst it’s quiet. You know, website, social media etc. January is normally my busiest time for new customers. I work with a lot of start ups, January is when the gonna do’s finally decide to do something and they get in touch.

 

[Winot]

Was going back on the 4th but client has just announced launch of something on 5th which means I might need to work the 3rd

 

[Reno]

I am back at work.
Since yesterday.

 

[Agent Sparrow]

Working today after a week off, but then off again until the 5th January.

A paperwork day of wfh which shouldn’t be so bad, though solo with two kids until late morning so there will be wall to wall TV and no push to get them out their pyjamas.

About to check emails!

 

[krtek a houby]

Day 2 of days off

 

[MBV]

Today then off until 4th

 

[Mrs Miggins]

I was supposed to be back today but I've got COVID now. I had leave booked next week anyway so I'm going to be off until 10 Jan now. Sadly I'm not going to enjoy most of the time off due to feeling pretty rough.

Sorry to hear that, hope you'll be feeling better soon !

 

[Mrs Miggins]

Sorry to hear that, hope you'll be feeling better soon !

Thank you x
I feel absolutely horrid right now to be honest but it's not too bad I guess.

 

[ruffneck23]

Back in today ( Well WFH ), not really doing anything then off until the 4th.

 

[marty21]

I'm back ! Easing myself in by wfh , I will need to go in once this week though .

 

[quiet guy]

I'm back in today and WFH. It's very quiet on the email front so not too big a shock to the system after the very long weekend.
