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."
tl:dr?
Surprise week off = WIN

Grats.
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.
Enjoy your week. :]
And that's fantastic news, urby
