My current appointment has told me I won't be required at all over christmas.
So I'll be back in on the 1st Jan.

Also got an application for a Computer Design Trainee working for a company that prints onto coffins... best thing about that job is full training on photoshop :D

[craig green]

Sounds OK Matt. Trainee on photoshop, does that mean we may have an in-house rapid response photoshopper, soon?

[General Baxter]

[Matt2107]

I'm also starting a web page design course after christmas so if i get the photoshopping job I'll be doing my own buttons and such.

Trainee Burglar lol

[mowgli]

Get the mental hospital hr job, just so you can have one of those 'You don't have to be mad to work here' signs.
In New York, a lot of the big shops are open in the afternoon on Xmas Day, But most Americans that I have ever met don't drink anything like as much as us Brits, so they must get bored quicker.

[bump]

Matt, don't forget that the customer can't complain.

[Matt2107]

lol

I'm well up for "borrowing" a straight jacket.

[c'2.0lrt]

ive 2 weeks off over crimbo and going to spend time on the nova..

[ade]

Matt when you say - "trainee working for a company that prints onto coffins" what exactly do you print on to a coffin?

Is it like advertising or summut.

I mean - thats pretty sick if it is lol but then youd have a captive audience I suppose...

vicar - "we commit John Smith (sponsored by mr sheen) to the ground. Earth to earth, ashes to ashes dust to the special anti static mr sheen duster!"

I'm working up to friday then going for a team p1ss up round glasgow, then off till 27th, working till 29th then off way up north for a wee holiday over new year until 8th Jan 07. Might see Northern Lights...

cool!

Im a student so I have about a month off trying to live off the **** end of my student loan. I get a new one in January which will be spend on 'educational items' like an Audi 80.

Matt when you say - "trainee working for a company that prints onto coffins" what exactly do you print on to a coffin?

Nah not advertising.. lol

They do the design work for a company that then prints the designs onto vinyl i think and wraps the coffin in the vinyl.

For example... if you were sad enough you could have a photo montage of novas on your coffin with the novaload logo on.

Seriously though... its popular for childrens coffins to have cartoon characters and stuff. Also national flags... poppies etc

[craig green]

Ive only got to come into work on the Wednesday (27th). Tbh I wish I could just go to sleep & wake up on 2nd Jan or summat. Perhaps I might run away & go & live up in the hills for a while.

I normally dont mind Xmas but this year seems to stink. Half the presents I bought people are still sealed & abandoned from last year.

Other than that I hope to do a few things on the nova projeect whilst off work.

[bump]

I've got odds and ends to do over xmas, mainly research.

However as she's clearing off on Sat till the 7th of Jan it's me and the cat, and he's got more presents than I have lol.

Got to design and refit the garage too.
