Do you stay late at work? Apparently there are different labels for those who do.
STAY LATE SHEEP
those who wait for someone else to take that first brave step out of the door
CHAOS THEORIST
those who spend most of their day flapping about their workload before finally knuckling down at 5pm
DESK JUNKIE
workaholics who simply can't tear themselves away

5.30 on the dot i go.
Once home i don't really worry about the job.
There are a lot of people paid a lot more than me so they can worry.
I work to live NOT live to work.

Friday is always POETS day.... work that one out.

Am familiar with term POETS as it applies to Friday working!
I tend to go a bit over my hours but this is made up for by the fact that I live very near work so don't expend travel time.

Poke Off Early, Tomorrows Saturday
I finished at sometime between 12 & 1 today, rang the boss and told him my mobile was switched on if there was a call out.

I had today off. I woke up about 8 and took Mrs G Tea and Brekky in bed. _________________ Geddon

As someone who got in early and left late today, there's a category missing: Those who have their plans for the day messed up by incompetent bosses who flap, panic, and haven't a bloody clue how to organise anything |

That resembles *every day* for me. I had a three-paragraph diatribe typed out here but I calmed down by the time I got to the end of it and wisely deleted it all! _________________ Author: “To the Ends of the Earth: A Snapshot of Aviation in North-Eastern Siberia, Summer 1992”
