It took place over a holiday, and I noticed he hadn't shown up afterwards. After a couple of days, I asked my boss if he was on vacation, and he said no, so I emailed him.

This service would include pre-scheduled shipments of holiday decoration. The problem I have is that I forget what is in my attic.

You should have emailed us and we would have taken care of it without a holiday weekend filled with unnecessary drama.

Then go to Australia on the working holiday visa. You can make $16/hr picking tomatoes or as a barista or $25 an hour shuffling stuff around at a building site.

So last time she came over for a month's holiday she bought her laptop with her and wanted me to teach her to program in C. The net result is disaster. I tried everything possible.

I almost started implementing it during the 4th of July holiday, but I started writing a new essay instead.

I have employees that take a lower salary than others, but have up to 7 weeks holiday a year. I'm happy with that. One employee that has 7 weeks holiday has only had 1 day sick in the 6 years I've employed him.

You don't offer generous holiday time. You tell people they cannot take holiday time because it's "crunch time." You resent employees who take holiday time they are entitled to

This means that while a holiday Google Doodle sails by just fine, a reminder in Gmail feels very invasive. Those answering "just get over it" are clearly not interested in building applications that people enjoy using.

First, Lulu hacks off her hair with a pair of scissors; then, on a family holiday to Moscow, she and Chua get into a public argument that culminates in Lulu smashing a glass in a cafe, screaming, "I'm not what you want – I'm not Chinese! I don't want to be Chinese.

They also didn't seem to have problems with domestic Japanese transfers until about December/January, which they blamed on the end-of-the-year holiday. Waits for withdraws stretched from weeks to months to unbounded.

Making a judgement on the basis of two datapoints for weekly data where one of the weeks is a major holiday in the biggest relevant markets strikes me as a bad idea. Unless you can use previous years seasonality to adjust the data.

If the original developers who joined Marc Benioff had read this blog post, they would have questioned 'his contribution', especially the part where he took off on holiday. Product and business people are entirely undervalued.

It was unusual for people to bring their loved ones to this gathering and having the two of them there gave a certain holiday like atmosphere to the whole affair.

I had access to a personally unprecedented amount of privileges, but was not entitled to the ski trips, DisneyLand adventures, stock options, and holiday cash bonuses" That's because you weren't a Google employee. You were a Transvideo Studios employee.

Similarly, If UK employers were to switch to a policy of only allowing two weeks holiday per year, and why not add random drugs tests while we're at it, there would be riots at the outrageous and dangerous attempt at enslavement of the population, and the government would likely be overthrown if it failed to act. I use these just as an example to illustrate the differences in what's considered important, and of what people are vigilant, between the two nations."

I am also not entirely sure that someone whose references are, I dunno, busy doing actual work or "on holiday" deserves to be penalized with respect to someone whose references are all hanging around in their office with nothing to do but promote the living shit out of each other in some kind of mutual admiration society. Speaking from experience, I have seen many such cliques of utterly mediocre, self-serving people who would unhesitatingly tell happy stories of how wonderful everyone in their clique was to anyone who asked - even if a more conventional response from further up the management chain would have given a very tepid review of the actual performance of said people.
