A guy goes to the doctor and says, "Doctor my leg keeps talking to me."
So the doctor takes out his stethoscope and listens to the guys thigh and he hears, "Lend me a fiver!"
The doctor then takes a listen to the guys knee and hears, "Lend me a tenner!"
The doctor then takes a listen at the guys shin and hears, "Lend me twenty quid!"
"So what's the problem doctor?" the guy asks anxiously.
"It's your leg - It's broke in three places," says the doctor!!

Dunno if others do this but:
I always see all those days off at this time of the year and think "time to do all those things I put off for a rainy day." (Even simple things like a whole bunch of bookmarks 'to read later')
Then all that they-visit-us, we-visit-them gets in the way, attempt starting some task... just getting into the zone, and some 'social event' strikes.
At the end and getting ready to return to normal routine (daily work for the employed) realise nothing intended for the holidays got done, all those days totally wasted on friends' babies' parties, family <strike>festivities</strike> feuds and way too much other stupidity.
So after the "long break" the only thing you really want to do is take leave to get crap done.
And it happens like that every year.

I think of Perl like I think of C++. It gives you all the tools you need to shoot yourself in the foot but those same tools can accomplish things many other languages simply can not.

Yesterday I volleyed a customer problem back into their court, which earned me an attaboy from my boss. That has been the highlight of my week.
Today is my last working day of the year. As can be expected, my motivation is almost nil. None of my to-do list items are small enough to be worth starting. I'm reduced to clean-up at this point.
I've put away all the lab stuff that had migrated to my cube. My cube stays pretty tidy, but it does collect stuff occasionally. Some of it is depressing - I'm the official librarian-of-departed-employee-stuff(*), and a couple piles are things from long-time friends that have been laid off or forced to retire.

My old PC, which has been sitting on the side of my desk for the last six weeks powered off, is busily deleting files and uninstalling apps preparatory to it joining its brethren on the Island of Misfit Computers in my other lab. I would have yanked the hard drive and wiped it, but it would be nice to leave the thing bootable. Unfortunately the corporate IT yabbos don't have the recovery image set up properly, plus the drive is encrypted , so I have to do this the hard way. I do believe VS2015 takes longer to uninstall than it did to install.
I'm also lurking on CP a bit, and posting pointless nonsense like this message.

No, but I think I would enjoy the warm weather. I live in Ohio, in the U.S.

Hope you enjoy your time off! As for me, I'm putting in extra hours at my second job through the end of the year. I'm 'officially' off from my programming job at the end of business today...officially just means that the phones won't ring. (my clients are in education support and will be off also until next year)
The good thing is that my secondary job is unsupervised and not that demanding so that I can do work for the main job on my laptop! A bonus is that it gets me out of the house where the missus would certainly be putting me onto some unsavory task like cleaning the garage!
