I've got 3 weeks WFH and the majority of my work will die in the arse by midday today and not pick back up until after new years.
This'll be me by Wednesday morning:

Boss always took the week off leading up to Chrissie and out came the tennis ball and bat for the annual office ashes series.
Loved it.
Now I'm the boss, I work until 5pm on Chrissie eve because I know what the little bastards get up to.
We used to have a chill, cruisy day in the office on the last day before the break, but compliance burden has become so onerous that we don't have any time anymore.

Yeah we used to open beers mid-arvo and play cricket and do nothing. Now if in the office we work to the end of our shift, staring at the screen if there's no work.

The year that it changed in our office will stay forever in my mind. One of the guys had packed up his desk by 10am that morning (desks had to be clear for annual deep clean), with the intention of doing SFA for the rest of the day - in line with what had gone down in the past only for one of the Directors to swing past and absolutely tear him a new one in front of everybody.
Culture.

Things change I guess. Was nice to have that loose/easy last few hours but obviously unprofessional.

This time of the year sucks. Every campaigner wants stuff before Christmas but half of the workforce has headed off on annual leave or shut down so makes it impossible.

Our Xmas tradition used to be on the last day to play Left 4 Dead:2 on the work network
Nothing says Christmas spirit like killing zombies as a team

The current generation won’t ever get to experience the fun offices could be..
now it’s us old guys reminiscing about how good it used to be.
Have you seen how much it costs for a house at Yallingup these days?????

Dunno where you lot work, but I went out at lunch and the CBD seems to be full of people that have knocked off early and are celebrating.

Im fifo, we went from a 2 n 1 roster to 2 n 2, so apparently my crew has Christmas off for 7 years or something. The other crews are already complaining so they'll try to do a mid year roster swap.
Yeah I've been in mining for 6 years and that's pretty common with even time rosters. My company does the swap every few years to keep it somewhat fair but you'll never keep everyone happy.
Unfortunately that's what you sign up for with shift work.

Yeah , the company i work for is very very dumb so dont know how they'll manage it
Also the new rules regarding working on public holidays means we can take them off but not use annual leave to i was supposed to fly in on new years day but asked for it off, got it approved and dont have to use A/L, which is awesome

I drive through there pretty much every morning at about quarter to 6 on the way to the gym and it starts backing up even then.
I think the biggest problem is there are a lot of trucks through there, some of which are quite slow and that mild uphill as it merges with the freeway, people just get really impatient and try and get across quickly. Why it needs to merge where it does is beyond me though - it can be absolutely shocking in the afternoons.

Biggest issue I see is that you've got people wanting to join the merging lane because it turns into the exit lane for Berrigan Drive a bit further up, and you've got people coming from Roe Hwy who want to get into the right hand lanes of the freeway
You end up with cars trying to lane swap all slowing down for each other and all of a sudden everyone's doing 40

I'm working from home and on my lunch break there were 2 little shits arguing coz one looked at the other's screen and then in retaliation that one said the other one was breathing too loud.

I recon let them have it...It's something they could look forward to.
Probably gain more than you lose.
Keep the team company loyal.
It's only one day.

Between the Wildcats last night and the Scorchers tonight, not a great week for WA teams losing from seemingly unbeatable positions.

Yeah Bruce Lehrmann is probably waxing poetic about the good ol’ days of nights out after a tough week as a parliament staffer.
