Dont you just love working in december

While this may seem like a decidedly odd comment , if you think about it for a few seconds you will realize just how true it is. Also i think it would be a good time to mention this is from the perspective of a developer.

This is the only time of the year when requests actually slow down to the point where i can actually go and review old code .Fix things that were meant to be fixed an just never got down to. Personally i feel its the one time in the year when you can do beta testing and not get a backlash from the rest of your team for trying something new.

The other thing is that traffic is always a killer , no matter what time i leave for work there is always traffic. Yet at this time of the year it is simply a breeze to drive to work a everyone is gone on holiday.

The final point that i will make is this , i just know people are going to say but when do we take a break then , i will never make it yadadada. So what you do is you take you holiday in the off peak times when everyone else is working . This way you still get to relax and avoid all the stress of work , its not totally fool proof but it has worked beautifully for me.
