| Xmas Eve and where am I? |
|
Am I at home in bed with Shell?
Am I doing last minute Xmas preparations?
Am I wrapping Xmas presents?
No I'm bloody not. I'm at sodding work doing bugger all. So far, I have surfed the net and gone to breakfast. Then I will do some chatting, some more surfing, answer some important emails, restructure a database and then go home.
Still - I get paid for being here all day, so it isnt that bad, as I'll be leaving around noon.
We were discussing (over breakfast) what a great day this could be. If we calculate our hourly rate (after tax) and then go to the pub until 5pm, spending slightly less per hour than hourly rate, work will have effectively paid us to get drunk. It seems like a great idea...
But I cant as I'm picking the kids up at 3. And I have loads of wrapping to do. And some more presents to drop off.
Oh yeah. Last night we exchanged presents down the pub. I got The Very Best of the Muppet Show, a rude T-shirt and a remote control mini car/pen thing - which is pretty cool. Looking forward to tomorrow morning when the kids open their presents and then boxing day when I get mine at Shells. She gets hers then as well - so that should be ace fun :)
