Went into work and said "I'm too ill to come in today", then went home. I didn't really think about it until I was driving home.

Why? What do you do?
Work at one of the larger O&G companies, not the one that you would find items of at the beach but the 'other' one.

Looking forward to a short day hopefully though.
Looks like I'm in the crowd of people having a quite day too. I'm in the obvious Norwegian O&G company, it's also dead here - in a building of several thousand I have seen around 10 people so far.
I just googled "O&G", in bed, as I had no idea what you two were withering on about.

Oil and Gas if everyone else in wondering.

I'll add another one to that.
It's not pointless, though.

I am in work this week as otherwise I will have 3 days less holiday to take when I want to take them.

An entirely sound point.

Sat on the loo for 15 minutes expecting a number 2.

Nothing produced.

Covering IT.
(Because we have Day Care patients in today)
Can't see them using much in the way of IT whilst painting gnomes and playing on the wii

Bought a BLT from a Tesco service station. I don't like BLTs, I don't like service station sandwiches and I'm not hungry.

Totally agree with you, that is also why I am at work as well! I know that work will be quiet so I can just chip awa yat some jobs and hopefully go home early while other people are using their holidays up!

That's only ever pointless if you can't finish it.

I had three pieces of toast for breakfast!!!!!!!!!!!
Thats an odd number of pieces of toast. Unless you gave one away or have a three slice toaster, thats some seriously bad juju going on there.

Also dead here. I have annual leave still to take, 3 days of it that expires on the "use it or lose it" rationale. I've been here yesterday, today and tomorrow instead. Yesterday was busy enough and tomorrow has a few things lined up.

Couldn't take my leave as it'd leave one person in the building which H&S bks won't allow because we have stairs. Apparently irked - although that same fact means we don; topen Sundays or Bank Holidays so on balance I'll just sit here surfing the web, just as I would be after what will have otherwise been day six of ten days in a row at home.

I have been known to have 3 slices of toast in situations where 2 is too few and 4 would be too fat.
