A shoutout to any and all DU'ers who are working this holiday.

You're not alone.

If you're on the roads, be careful, there are a lot of egg nogged drivers out there and people driving furiously to partys and loved ones homes.

Check in if you're working today too.

That's what people tell my wife who runs a very busy company from her home office.

Sure, because when you work from home you never get to leave the office and the entire weight of the success or failure rests squarely on your shoulders.

Cheers to you!

I hope you finish and get some rest today and tomorrow.

We were both working in medical fields then, but we've both moved on and can now be home for Christmas.

We certainly do appreciate those who do work on the holidays though. Thanks to all those who keep all the vital services going.

The office was empty so it was kind of nice. Everyone else went home at 1:00pm. I have to stay until 5:00pm on New Years as well.
