Hell yes! Welcome to the world of financial services customer service/operations!

I can't tell you how slow it is here. Well, actually you can probably deduce it by the length of my posts in other threads...

Ahhh....i forgot you were in the financial world too.

I couldn't believe how busy it was this morning here. I shut my phone off and don't plan on turning it on until at least 2. I'm all set today.

To a full day of work

I'll be here until 4:30.

And I'll be pretty much the only one in my office here on Friday.

trust me with all the time I had to spend without it I do appreciate it. I finally got my IT guy to get a sound card in my machine and get me some speakers. Only a couple of months ago.

[DaBomber25]

21 Minutes left for me....

[Jim F.]

I just got the word that I can leave "whenever". That's cool .

Yeah, we're a "phone team" and not allowed. Though at least half of the offices I speak to have something blaring in the background. Effin' Sucks. Oh welll, under 2 hours...

[DaBomber25]

So what other poor saps are stuck at work today? This blows.

You beat me to this thread! I was hoping to be the first in, but alas, I am merely second.

I'm stuck here until 2 pm, at which time I will be joining a bunch of old buddies from high school to play in our annual Thanksgiving Athletic Endeavor. This year it is hoops. Past years have included homerun derby and touch football.

I'm here til the bitter end at 5 PM. I'd kill to get out at 2 and play any type of sport.

[YankeeClemens22]

I'm here.

I will be here until 4 I think.

I can't believe it is only 9. Sigh.

5? Oy....

On the bright side, if you work in the financial world, you are, in all probability, pretty slow today.

Hopefully both of you guys are, actually

[Benfica]

Here til 4:30. Lunch break can't come soon enough.

[DaBomber25]

Insurance Agent...this day is DRAGGING.

[YankeeClemens22]

I'm a gov't employee. This is like the slowest day of all time.

[YankeeClemens22]

Actually, I have some stuff to do, but I am so unmotivated to do any of it. I feel like I am back in college. hehe

[Yankee Bulldawg]

i have to work today starting at noon and working until 10:00pm ugh

We needed someone from our team to be here, and I got stuck on the short end.

I wasn't minding the whole thing until it came to to actually come in today.

I know I was missed last week in this thread.

I'm tired and do not want to work at all. Way too much time left to even start the countdown.

[YankeeClemens22]

I have no motivation today.

My gf is coming to visit me this weekend for my birthday, and I am way too excited about that. She'll be here around lunchtime, and then I need to work for another 3 or 4 hours before I can go home and see her.

I have a lot to do now. I'm swamped with work until the end of the year or so. Hopefully that will make it pass more quickly.

[Barb51850]

I'm glad it's Friday. I have a ton of work, but I'm planning to retire in April. That gives me the motivation to keep going. I have been lucky. I work for one of the best companies on earth, but after 35 years it's time to go.

Wishing everyone a good weekend,
Barb

[DaBomber25]

This has been the busiest week. We've been short-staffed all week and won't have a full staff until the "Black-out" period starting on the 16th.

[JDPNYY]

This week sucked. I pre-worked all these extra hours so I could leave at noon yesterday to go to the Center Stage taping of the Bernie Williams interview, then at the last minute they postponed the taping. When I told my boss he said that was great, now I could work all day.

So I'm looking forward to 3pm.

Wow. Sunday for me.

Seriously. You are like the NJ me.

Actually, in June, I'm going to be leaving DC and moving to the NY/NJ area. We do very similar work... perhaps we'll end up working together. Or competing with each other.

Hehehe.

Any birthday celebration plans for the weekend?

Heh, the NJ you. That's funny...

Where are you moving to?

No plans, really. Deb's taking me out tomorrow night. But other than that, it's just a normal weekend.

This afternoon is really dragging on still 2 hours and 20 minutes.

[YankeeClemens22]

I'm gonna leave at 4:00, and make up an extra hour next week.

I'm dying to get out of here!

[YankeeClemens22]

Just a few more min for me!

I'm on the forum much less on the weekends, especially when the gf is in town, so if I'm not back til Monday-- Jim, enjoy your night out for your birthday.

Today’s been a perfect day for me.

It’s Friday, my boss has been out all day, I’m caught up with my work & all I’ve done is hang out at NYYFans shooting the breeze with my fellow Yankee fans.

Slacking off? You bet, it just doesn’t get any better than this.

[YankeeClemens22]

Well, it's Friday once again, folks.

I got in early today, so that I can leave about 3:30 - 4:00 or so. I have so much to get done, but I am waiting for someone else to do some of his work that I need to proceed.

I HATE waiting on people like that, and I have this feeling it won't get done today.

[Jim F.]

We had our office holiday party last night. Needless to say, today is dragging.

[pergo36]

Happy Friday! Today is my last day at this job and my new job doesn't start until the 20th. That means a nice 9-day weekend for the kid!

[DaBomber25]

I'm so psyched it's Friday. Of course I work tomorrow but just got word this week that our office will no longer be open on Saturdays starting a week from tomorrow! WHOOOOOOO!

Here's to ACTUAL 2-day weekends!

[YankeeClemens22]

We have ours today. Everyone is leaving early for it except me and a few others. I opted not to go this year.

They were charging people 30 bucks to go to this party. What the hell? It's at like a bar and grill, and you can pick from like 3 crappy entree's. Dessert is apple cobbler -- the red-headed stepchild of all desserts.

PLUS, if you go, you have to (on top of the 30 bucks) bring a 10 dollar gift for the stupid gift exchange thing.

Grrrrr.

We have a holiday breakfast... odd, but better than last year when we had a holiday nothing.

If I had to pay 30 bucks for a holiday party, I'd opt to not go too.

(Last summer, the people in my small office were trying to plan a trip to Six Flags. They kept asking me to go. I told them that I'm only paid to be with them for 40 hours a week)

That's asinine. We went to a posh country club that the CEO and CFO of my company belong to. Merryl-Lynch was having their party upstairs (we wanted to crash it...). It was good food, and the first time I enjoyed getting buzzed in a really long time.

I got the chocolate cake for dessert. I should have gotten the apple cobbler .

Do you have any stats you could compile on companies that are cheap for holiday parties?

-jim

[YankeeClemens22]

This is done by the 40 or so people in my particular office.

In all fairness, my company (I'm a federal contractor), is holding a party next week that will be free to me. The menu looks quite good for that one, and it is at a hotel.

Still, the worst part about todays thing is having to sit around until 3:00 or so when everyone else gets to blow off work for the afternoon. Essentially, that is what they are selling for 30 bucks.
