First year with a new company for me. Previous years they've closed at lunchtime.

This year, for no obvious reason, "we" (ie. the sales team who don't work over Christmas) have confirmed to our brokers that we're open as usual until 5, so we're committed.

C&nts.

Worked (in the office) until 5.30pm on Christmas Eve. Supposedly working (from home) today until 5.30pm. In reality, there's very little actual work to do so I intend to knock off at 4.30pm and clean the house, in the hope that tomorrow will be ice-free and I can go for a run/spend the day knitting instead of cleaning. We live in exciting times.

Our place expects all folks not involved in testing, packing and shipping, in the mad rush to hit end Q4 orders, to save three days of holiday that we MUST take on the three work days between Christmas and NY - so I'm not allowed to work on NYE (not that I want to!).

And for the third consecutive year (probably longer) I have no prospect of being out of work before 8pm.
