Andrew_C Posted December 10, 2008 Posted December 10, 2008 Kids & teachers go Friday, and LOTS to do next week. Then few days off!!
ful56_uk Posted December 10, 2008 Posted December 10, 2008 in for a day, rebooting the servers sorting out the VM backsup security updates on the servers putting my brain back in after a week doing nothing but CCNA 9-6
Crispin Posted December 10, 2008 Posted December 10, 2008 No holiday for me. Even working christmas eve! Tasks include, getting mylittlehelpdesk and ocs inventory up and running. Cleaning. Tidying. Sleep.
contink Posted December 10, 2008 Posted December 10, 2008 Planning to do a major re-RIS'ing of client workstations so I'll be spending a bit of time getting a new RIS image ready for each of the schools I have. Beyond that though it's tax return time so I'll be dealing with all that paperwork...
FN-GM Posted December 10, 2008 Posted December 10, 2008 Just wondering if there is there a reason why you just reboot a server?
kmount Posted December 11, 2008 Posted December 11, 2008 Just wondering if there is there a reason why you just reboot a server? It's often useful if over the last x months since last reboot you've made changes which say "please restart your machine" and you don't, or you've made config file changes which don't appear to take effect until reboot. I've been linux boxes be rebooted after a years uptime to find they no longer boot because someone messed up a closing comment in /etc/rc.conf. - I'd sooner it broke during maintenance than during a random power cut. If nothing else, updates often require reboots that are suppressed by GPO so it's just nice
powdarrmonkey Posted December 11, 2008 Posted December 11, 2008 I've got a fortnight off to go do panto
JJonas Posted December 11, 2008 Posted December 11, 2008 im in 22nd and 23rd then taking the rest of the time off

Jamman960 Posted December 11, 2008 Posted December 11, 2008 I'll be working for most of the holiday with a week or so off My list is pretty short at the moment... 1. Upgrade Sims 2.

Hightower Posted December 11, 2008 Posted December 11, 2008 Break up on 19th for a fortnight - school is closed but I like to take all of Xmas off still. My plans are to get plenty of ale down my throat and for the more sober days I might even try to catch up with uni work
danrhodes Posted December 11, 2008 Posted December 11, 2008 Im working until 23rd inc 20th and 21st Sat and Sun, got a lot to do at our latest big build. Dan
HarryMonkey Posted December 11, 2008 Posted December 11, 2008 I'm in, (much to the disgruntlement of the site staff) apart from 25/26 as I need to save my holiday for hospital visits next year!
localzuk Posted December 11, 2008 Posted December 11, 2008 I'm in, (much to the disgruntlement of the site staff) apart from 25/26 as I need to save my holiday for hospital visits next year! Do you mean for visiting someone in hospital? Or for you being in hospital?
danrhodes Posted December 11, 2008 Posted December 11, 2008 Either way, I hope you/they get well soon Steve! D
SpuffMonkey Posted December 11, 2008 Posted December 11, 2008 Off for a whole two weeks - bliss! And the school is physically shut from the 24th-2nd - so don't even have totake many days holiday
HarryMonkey Posted December 11, 2008 Posted December 11, 2008 Do you mean for visiting someone in hospital? Or for you being in hospital? Taking my other half. She has to attend a hospital in London every week and has to go to Sutton periodically as well, so when she needs me to take her, I have to have a day/half day holiday.
nsherin Posted December 11, 2008 Posted December 11, 2008 School finishes on the 19th and so do I. First proper long holiday I've had all year and won't be in till the 5th of Jan. Plenty of sleep. lazing around. listening to music, watching DVDs, mucking about on the computers and boozing! stevenewman - do you not get time off at all for hospital appointments then? The reason I ask is that' it's never been a problem here thankfully, as I had quite a few visits last year due to eye torubles.
TYO Posted December 11, 2008 Posted December 11, 2008 in everyday over christmas (apart from christmas day, boxing day and new years day) for no reason what so ever
