Why’s the Rum Gone?

So its Christmas, Well OK it’s not actually Christmas Day or anything, It is however the last working day at the Asylum.

FREEEEEDOM!!!!

Now in the current financial climate, with customers going Bust, People spending less, the ready cash flow for the asylum is a bit on the bare side, so there is no bonus’s or such this year. Now one of the company directors has  bought every member of the Asylums staff a “Bottle of Wine” for Christmas, Which is a nice gesture, and as a director it represents the company.

The only problem is, He decided to get every member of the Asylum a gift, with the exception of the Two members of the SysAdmin department.

This man really needs to read the BOFH. He would then know how BAD an idea it is to annoy the Admin.

Next Year should be interesting.

BTW: Merry Christmas One and All.

Walking in a Winter Solstice…

ok people. It’s the shortest day of the year, the winter solstice…

So can i ask everyone to throw a huge party and celebrate. For we need to make a big noise so that Amaterasu comes out of her cave and brings the sun back to the people, so the days can start getting longer, and I can start getting warm.

So Long, and Thanks for All the Fish

So, Today is the last Thursday in November, Which means two things :-

  1. Shit, Its getting close to Yule, and were did the year go?
  2. Its Thanksgiving Day.

Yes, Its thanksgiving. The day Americans give thanks for the Pilgrims who landed on the shores of America.  Wiped out thousands of the natives with biological warfare and stole the country with the cunning use of flags and the Winchester repeating rifle!.

Talking of the Pilgrims.  “They left Plymouth and landed in Plymouth. How lucky is that?

Whatever the historical reasons for the holiday, Its now a day to sit back, give thanks to those things you are thankful for, eat and drink lots, and rest up for the mad rush of “Black Friday“.

So “Happy Thanksgiving”

Holiday Happyness

YES

Today is finally over.

I am now off for my weeks Holiday.

No Work. No Phones. Just Peace, Fun, & Beer!!

See you soon…

WoW: Week off Work

Well I had a week off work…

I Went to a few places, did some stuff, caught up on things that needed doing, and spent some time doing absolutely F all (Which apparently doesn’t count as sloth!!)..

But it was a good break… I needed to get away from the office for a bit! But now I’m back. And its the same-ole same-ole, No changes, we still employing the waste of space who’s been on fake-sick since start of november, the development department still covering for support, etc…

Ah well, such is life, There just better be decent wage reviews in April… (If it happens then satan will be skating to work…)

But on another note, I went into my week off with my 101 tasks standing at 6 finished/6 in-progress. and I am now on 8 finished/13 in-progress, so it was a productive week.. 🙂

Anyway.. Better do some work for a bit…

HOLIDAY!!!

Well today is my last day in work.. Well for a week…..

I had holiday time I had to use up by the end of the month, so taking a week off to get away from the office, the politics, the illnesses, the wasters, the covering of other peoples jobs, and so on…

I’m looking forward to recharging my batteries, getting away from it all, and hopefully make a decent start on my 101 list..

Note, going into the holiday on 6 completed tasks, 6 tasks under way. Lets see the score when I return….
