Office is a ghost town

scaeagles · 12-21-2007, 10:03 AM

There's maybe 20% of the employees here today. Eerie.

Your offices?

JWBear · 12-21-2007, 10:07 AM

About half here, but that's normal for a Friday.

I don't know yet. The place doesn't normally fill up until about 10 a.m. anyway.

We have a large population of Hindi contractors so I'm sure they're around but most of them are on a different floor than me.

about half, but we're open on Monday, there will be maybe 2-3 employees in on Monday. Yes, I do work for Scrooge and Marley and I will be filing a patent application for a client on Monday, from home and charging OT for it, too (weekend).

We won't really be a ghost town until next week. We're insanely busy right now and only 1 or 2 people will be out today. Small office, btw.

But next week we're only here Wednesday - Friday, working with a skeleton crew. Should be fun!

There were 5 of us this morning at 6:30 - in our Boiler room office that normally holds a couple hundred.

It's starting to fill up a bit, being the last day before the dark week, but most of the consultants go home on Fridays, so we may have already peaked for the day

Yeah, office was dark when I arrived... late. Usually there's always a person or two here ahead of me. I think I just heard someone arrive finally.

You beat me to work by 2 hours. How industrious of you!

Almost everyone is here today. BUT all but one of my clients are out of town. Yay! It's quiet.

Hard to say here, I'm in a huge lab where everyone's spread out anyway. Judging by how fast the bagels and cream cheese went this morning and how full the parking lot was, we're probably still at 80% capacity. We have M-W off next week, I suspect Th. and Fri. are going to be very quiet days.
