Anyone else bored at home?

[Scotty]

Ho hum, no getting to work for me today...

The site where I'm contracted out closed on the afternoon of the Monday before Christmas due to snow, and on the Tuesday I drove in without too much difficulty to find that it remained closed to all but essential staff. On the Wednessday I called the travel advice number to hear that it remained essential staff only, so I had an extra couple of days off before Crimbo

This morning I awoke to double the amount of snow we had before, eventually got through to the travel hotline to be told "site remains open for normal activities to those staff who can travel in safety" - not too ambivalent eh? :-? I decided to have a go, but couldn't even get off the estate, so gave it up as a bad job and came home (though I'm sure I could have made it on the dirt bike...)

I'm passing the time writing up my professional report towards chartership with the IMechE, and checking on here now and then.. oh, and re-lighting the boiler because the pilot light keeps going out, despite British Gas having been out to it about 6 times in the last 2 months... grrrr! >

What about the rest of you, anyone else stuck at home?

Same here, sat about doing very little at the moment. Although Santa saw fit to give me a couple of PS3 games so I am sure they will come in quite handy today!

Well cetainly no work for me unless anyone wants to try landscape maintenance in this weather. We have about 6ins of snow and nothing is moving near my place.

I would have gone to work but was told not too, just being bored at home now! :

I suppose we could all go and clean our bikes.

I walked to work to be told they're shutting for the day - done a few bits in the office and back home

Now ready for a hour or 2 of Wii fit then off to the farm on the quads

i was meant to be working at centre parcs today opening up the sweet shop but decided it wasnt a good idea to go in after seeing i would have had to dig out my car! :P
yesterday when i was in they were asking staff if they could stay the night on village because they knew people wouldnt make it in but i didnt really want to stay! :P
I have heard that people who have gone in today are having to park in the main car park rather than the staff ones and if you know centre parcs at all you will know how long a walk it is from the main car park to the sports complex right at the other end of the village!quite glad i didnt go in really!(not that i would have had to walk that far as the shop is quite close to the car park) i might not have made it back out again tho if the weatherman/woman is telling the truth and its going to get worse :-/

at least i have managed to get some of my essays done and started my revision for my exam on tuesday!that if i can get bk to stoke on monday :-/

Only about an inch an a half of snow in Chippenham so my journey into work was clear, even if I did sin and take the tin box

I'm stuck at home but got plenty of work to do - luckily I have full access to the network at work so doesnt make much difference whether I'm there or at home
