Raise your hand if you're at work today. I'm on the clock.
Half day. The non-tourist population of NYC is approximately me; it made the commute extremely nice this morning.
After years of working Christmas eve "just in case" somebody decided to bring their car in for a timing belt or warrenty squeak/rattle, I am happy to finally have a job that considers it a paid Holiday. I feel for anybody working retail or anything dealing with the public today.
Nope. Off till Jan 2 other than a day of my choosing where I have to put in a full day's work. Will probably do that on Friday.
Indeed, as are most of us this week. Most of us will be doing it from home, but deadlines have no respect for holidays.
Also working this week is my mortgage company. We're doing a refi (going to a 15-year and only raising our monthly about $30. Yay) and the mortgage folks are sending their crew out today to do the closing with us. I guess they like getting money.

Same here. After 20 some years of working every Christmas and New Year's Eve, it's nice to have the day off. I feel for anyone working at Wally World etc today and tomorrow.
Yep. I was hoping to get out by 1 pm, but there are a lot of "gotta close by year-end" transactions that are happening all of a sudden.
Something to do with taxes going up next year. Really? Ya think?
It's one of those "little more than a half day" workdays for us. I could conceivably telecommute but I'm going in as I have some work to do that's better done in a non-remote fashion.
Nope. Been off since last Friday, and don't go back until next Friday - on nights, so I can get some important project work done
