    Hey all, anyone else here working for the Bank Holiday? I work for a UK based company so I have to take UK holidays. It kind of sucks but also means I'll be off in 3 weeks while all today's dossers are in work! :)

    I'm really wrecked though- got into the Bank Holiday weekend spirit without the extra recovery time!

    The traffic was so light this morning- wish it was always like that!

    I'm working today but to be honest can't complain.

    Get paid double my hourly rate and the shop is dead, so I'm basically making a nice bit of cash to browse on boards. Hence my inaugural presence on the LL forum, got bored of all the others!
