Same for us in NZ. If either Xmas Day or Boxing Day (or both) fall on a weekend we get another workday off for each. But it gets better. Same applies for New Years Day and the "Day after NY's Day"! Woohoo, two four day weekends this year

For what? To sober up?

Because we need more merryness I guess
And because two days off work is better than one
Well, this year it's only one day off anyway, but that's still better than none

Wow, never actually knew the lyrics to that song.
If I were that guy (or girl) I'd find another true love though
On the thirteenth day of Christmas my true love sent to me
A f***ing restraining order
And that after all those amazing gifts I send him/her
I mean, who wouldn't want 12(!) drummers drumming!?

Reasonably KSS, even though you probably don't want to listen to it out loud in public.

Y'know, posting the punchlines of jokes in the subject lines of your postings may not be the most effective course of action.
Unless we're supposed to be playing that US quiz show (the name of which I can't remember).

George Michael: Pop superstar dies at 53 - BBC News[^]
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

His manager is reporting heart failure now. Years of drug abuse have finally taken their toll, in one way or another, I'm sure.
Didn't care for most of his music, but he was a legend and an icon, and I respect that.

I've got a .com domain that I keep in my back pocket, one day perhaps...
anyway, today (27 Dec) got an email From: "Domain Service <info@nrg4.net>":
(of course smart enough to know it's not from my registrar)
.... important notice (all caps)
.... expiration notice (all caps)
.... domain: xyz.com (not the actual name)
.... notification purchase proposal
.... expiration proposal date 12/27/2016 (all caps)
.. [in table form] xyz.com registration SEO period (01/10/2017 .. 01/10/2018) $66.00 1 year
The formatting/layout is actually pretty good, message is sort of quite well done, But they still shoot themselves in the foot
1. is it an expiration notice? what's actually expiring?
2. why is it a purchase proposal? who's proposing to buy what?
3. SEO renewal/offer? (currently not paying for SEO coz sites empty anyway)
FFS, still trying too hard, confusing message, just like any business if you want to rip somebody off KISS ASS: keep it simple, short and sweet, stupid.
Anyway, beware, possibly scammers are targeting companies hoping key staff on holidays and skeleton crews dumb enough to be fooled by repeated use of "important," lots of underlining of "expiration", and the big bold red but friendly looking "secure online payment" link.

I got a very legal looking email from supposedly income tax department. But there was no mention of section under which mail was sent in the subject so it was a dead give away.
The good thing is that few days earlier I did receive a intimation from tax dept. under section that tells there is either a demand or refund. I opened the report and looks like I had paid INR 4 less than what I should have. To my surprise, they waived it off! Just think of it, tax dept. says, "it's OK you just made a small mistake in your calculations". Still can't believe it. Every now and then I will login to check if they have raised a demand notice for 4 bucks. They still haven't.

Got one like that too, from the Singapore Tax Authority (IRAS): I owed them a whopping $34.17.
Surely at such a small amount wasn't a scam? Sounded pretty about right?
But no actual assessment attached, just payment instructions, very professional and almost correct looking.
Where else did they go wrong (apart from lack of assessment)?
1. Why would any tax authority request payment via Western Union?
2. Why would the Singapore Tax Authority send notices from a .ru domain?
Actually it does help me understand why putting the internet domain authority into the public domain is not such a good idea - even with the best of intentions it'll inevitably make things even easier for the scammers.
