The sadness continues

[andrewducker]

Half Life 2 launches at midnight, Pacific Standard Time.

I'm _very_ tempted to get up and play it then.

Which is 8am, I think.

Although the HL countdown timer says 9 hours from now.  Which would be 7am.

But that's not official.  So it's probably 7am.

What to do?

Shouldnt you be getting up for work or something around 8 anyway? Is it the illness you mentionned in a previous post that will mean you won't be getting up that early?

Hmmm 7am... I'm *really* tempted myself :0)

I usually leave the flat at 9;00, get to work at 9:30. The benefits of flexi-time :->

That is so cool - I wish I worked somewhere with flexitime. At my place we have to be there at 9 or we (sometimes) get a proper telling off, despite many people working late we aren't allowed to come in later the following day (and we don't get paid overtime).

What is really annoying is that we were always allowed to leave work at 5 provided that we had half an hour of lunch, but a new manager said that that was unprofessional and non business like so now we have to leave at 5:30, even though my contract actually says that I can leave at 5!!! This is even more annoying because I live about an hour away from my work place :0|

Where do you work?

[andrewducker]

I work for Standard Life (big insurance/pension company). I have to work 7 hours a day, although my core hours are 10:00-11:45 and 2:30-3:45. I can 'save' up to 21 hours in flexitime and then use them to work less hours on any particular day, so long as I'm there for core hours.

Nobody really pays attention to when I'm there or not - so long as my work gets done.

It's almost as if I'm treated like...an adult!

I think it's 7am your time. I believe we just switched to GMT+7 at the end of our DST.

When in doubt, get up early.

Excellent. I'll book myself a week's holiday at Loganlea for around mid January, then?
