    Take suitable refreshments and a radio with you, plus if available a suitable companion with whom you can find something interesting to do on the Bosses desk.

    I'm not working Xmas day, but I'm in at 5am on Boxing Day. Luckily I've managed to get out at 10 so I can get to Charlton still.

    Remember having just this conversation 4 years ago 24 hour media organisation.......
    If you are just updating/ a CMS system: which is based on templates they need to embrace technology, and have the ability to be able to do this. I assume you are loading images and text with a style sheet. Companies seem to want to sign up to 'hot desking' then, have people working in offices 9-5. Of course the fact that the rest of the world is on another time frame seem's not to have dawned on most so called managers?.

    I dont blame her. Night time in a bar, I would too. The amount of morons you have to serve and the amount the pubs rake in.
