Depends... on the crisis management front, if a client rang and told me that they had just been accused of sleeping with a family pet and the papers had it on film then yeah, guess so... but that seldom happens (anymore - you know who you are !) :lol:

Definitely not, unless someone rings me with a million pound debt, then I simply couldn't refuse.

drink baileys, wine and bacardi, watch the queen, eat too much, open presents and sleep!

Followed by yet more food, a good film and a ood old game of trivial pursuit

I cover most tech support over christmas (the techies have time of) but it really means just checking things during commercial breaks. Probably about 3 hour work spread over an 18 hour period of drinking and eating.

I bet Jayne is the first to post (don't let me down now Jayne)!

I am planning to have Southern Comforted myself into a coma for Xmas day from MY BIRTHDAY the day before... nothing like being subtle.

I've got to finish a film script by the end of this month and I've still a lot of work to do. So, my mind will be on things such as dialogue and plot structure etc while eating Christmas dinner.

But out of yours and Jaynes, what ones are the most informative and how many are in the time out section? Thats the real test of a true poster.

I couldn't say, but I do spend a fair amount of time in the IT/Internet, Ecommerce & General Business forums, so I'd like to think they account for the majority of my posts. Probably just lying to myself.

I am SUPPOSED to be taking the whole week off.

Having had no holiday at all this year (unless you count a week in York hunting for business premises) and with the busiest period of the year coming up. I am under strict instructions from him indoors to relax and not even think about the business.

No chance at all of that, but I will try not to check emails every hour . At least now I don't work from home there is no temptation to just pop into the workshop and do an hour or so - its a half hour drive!

Hope you all have a great Christmas and a prosperous 2006.

That's true, but that refers to design work. As I don't do the actual work, it involves me speaking to the clients, marketing and keeping everything in line. The designers work their magic with my briefs. It does involve a lot more time than I'd like, but it does have its benefits. Most clients call in the evening as well to alter what was done in the day.

I've had 5 people contact me regarding work through these forums now. I'm doing my job...kinda

I never said it was. They contacted me.

You just said how I wouldn't make it, I was just joking by saying people have contacted me, thus getting people by being on the forum. Thought I'd add that to avoid any argument.
