Haha! Had the best day at work ever today.

So, last week I was told that I couldn't go on hoilday this week seeing as I was currently working on 5 websites and it would be bad to leave 5 clients hanging for another week. I thrashed those 5 websites into existance to get them finished by Friday so that I could take my week off and all but 2 of the clients were happy with the result. 2! Bastards.

So, this morning I got into the office and both me department manager and the company managing director looked at me and said: "Aren't you on holiday this week?"

I explained that I was told that I couldn't take the holiday seeing as 2 clients wanted to make changes to their websites before they would sign them off as complete.

The department manager responded: "Who told you that? If you've sent the site to the client then its done. I can have one of the other guys make the changes if they need to. Go home. Enjoy your holiday."

:D

tl:dr?

Surprise week off = WIN

It's always nice when your managers aren't assholes.

Grats.

Surprise holiday win. Nice.

My best day at work involved me working half of an already planned half-day.
We were gonna' get off about 3-4 hours early for a local horse racing event, but I got part of a cotton tip stuck in my ear, and had to go get it removed... only worked 2 hours.

Yes, that's as pathetic as it sounds.

Hah, gotta hate those undecided wankers forcing you to change the initial design a crapload of times only to let you know they don't like it at all and want a completely new one afterwards.

Enjoy your week. :]

Doesn't count as a day at work unless you spend the whole day at work. Sorry.

Lucky indeed. Wished that happened to me.

Pb: I don't think I've ever spent a whole day at work.
