to think i should be allowed to go home?

[SecretSantasNinjaChipmunk]

its christmas and my bloody boss is making me stay here. i think he's being most unreasonable.

has he kidnapped you?

no but my working houras today are till 4.30 and i've only been here a couple of months so not to sure of the protocol of asking to go home!

sneak off?

he's in the office opposite me. help me think of an excuse!

Have you finished your work? What do ou do?

Blame the snow!

yay i can go! happy christmas everyone, may your mince pies be fruity!

heavy periods and no tampax - he won't be able to get you out of the door fast enough

Vomit.

yes - bodily fluids always works

Ha! x-post.

Are you working in the same office as my dh??

she's gone.....

How rude!

I just had a little IM from my boss (he works in a different office to me so we do a lot of communicating by MSN-equivalent). The exchange went:

Boss: hi there
Me: hi
Boss: you at work
Me: nope
Boss: good
and carried on from there

and now i'm home, on the sofa watching the itv panto and eating frazzles. life is good!

well mine is still at work such a mean boss, the rest of the staff have all gone home and they have nothing to do

boo to their boss. i think 4pm should be the latest cut off for leaving work on a day like today. all i did all day wasa bit of photocopying and surfed the internet! i may as well have gone home after half and hour. i suggest they go on strike.

lucky you.

dh is working tomorrow and likely to be there over contacted hours.

blimey what does he do?

nhs there you go you dont feel so bad now do you?

i work in a hospice although not on the wards. i totally appreciate what some people do, they can be very selfless. does he have a long shift? is there a chance he might be home for part of xmas?

yeah he should be leaving at 3 so hopefully he's not delayed too much. If you work in a hospice that explains the lack of sympathy over getting off xmas eve from your boss, its usually the busiest time of year. Sadly.

he works in IT, hardly life saving work, and his still there!!

i know but i work in the retail department! we look after the charity shops, so also hardly life saving work here either! lets hope he'll be home in time for your christmas dinner.
