I am at work. I think by my answering this question it shows what I am doing. Goofing off on Mahalo while at work!

I think there is some serious room for productivity to be evaluated on holidays. Company's would be better off just not being open....

You bet I'm working! I'm going to spend my day today managing the Mahalo Answers community and checking writing quality on Mahalo pages.

I'm able to decide when I get to work (no work, no money)... Today (and tomorrow), I rescheduled all my clients... Tommorrow I get to play with my best friend!

Yeah, unfortunately stuck at work! But it's a light day since most of the other folks are still on vacation, so it could definitely be worse.

yes, i'm working today. my customers all have medicare that pays 80% for the product they order from me some of them have a secondary insurance that pays their 20% co-pay and a few have a secondary that will also pay their annual deductible. ($135.00 each for 2008 and 2009.)

i have a number of customers who should have called me in the last month or so to get their test strips.

if they order today, they pay 20% or 0% (depending on their secondary insurance.)

if they order tomorrow, the phone will ring and ring as we're taking new years day off.

if they order after tomorrow, there's an almost certain chance that they'll get to pay 100% as that order will be applied to their 2009 deductible.

every single year, we lose customers when we explain the deductible to them. "I'VE BEEN WITH YOU FOR 9 YEARS, AND YOU'VE NEVER CHARGED ME ANYTHING! WHY NOW?"

so it's better to avoid that conversation by getting them a 3 month supply in december, then letting them meet their part b deductible somewhere else and taking their next order in march or april when they've met it.

... gotta get back to the phones!

I have to work today, and its not really a big deal to me. I work for myself, so I usually just put in as much goofoff as I please. However, I'm quite busy today and will not be goofing off as much as I typically prefer.

The clothing industry is at its busiest in January and so will I be.

I did have to work today so I goofed off for as long as I could handle it... at which point I gave up and just left for the day.

Yes. I am the help desk/webmaster/network engineer. No one doing any important work today, but if something breaks, I have to be here.

I am doing end-of-year reports, updating the copyright notices and watching backups.

Oh, and reading Mahalo questions!

Good Riddance 2008!

I requested the day off because I am out of state visiting family. However, a proposal is due and I will most likely work not just today, but tomorrow and Friday as well (which are "holidays"). I am bummed that the rest of my family is playing and I am stuck behind this computer all day.

Yes, I had to work today - just a half day though. But it is kind of ridiculous. They should just give us the day off because no one actually "works". What I've done today is write an article for eHow, and answer questions on Mahalo Answers. Not very productive ... for my employer anyway.

I don't really have a job... I've got a passion: building websites. So, technically I don't work, but if you consider being the CEO of Mahalo a job I'll spend at least eight hours on the site today.

So far I'm really liking what I'm seeing...

I am on winter break from school and I choose my hours at my job so I haven't been there in a week. I'll go back to work Monday.
I used my few days off to go to atlantic city and to celebrate my birthday.
