For those of you who had the week between Xmas and New Years off work...

Do you go back on Monday the 2nd or Tuesday the 3rd?

That certainly qualifies as a lot of work, Lisa. Although my wife will consider life a little easier once all of our boys are back in school on the 3rd. And I know she's looking forward to her upcoming 'me' time as well.

I always work it. With almost everyone else gone it gives me time to catch-up.

I have been off since the 16th, but I have to go back on the 2nd of January. I don't figure I should argue about not having the 2nd off since I have been home for 2 weeks.

I've been off since Oct 24th with a knee injury. Had a torn meniscus repaired. I'll hopefully go back on Jan 9th.

Most here in Melbourne head back to work on Tuesday (Monday being a Public Holiday)...

But for me, I'm not back till the following Monday...whoohoo...down the beach with the wife and kids at a place called Phillip Island (about 130kms from Melbourne). Perfect rental house right on the beach!
