[07:56:02] <janrinok> Bytram, I asked how long the holiday spacing was to be used as various countries observe different holiday periods. For example, Dec 26 is still a Christmas Holiday in the UK (known as Boxing Day) and many people have taken the extra Friday off too to give themselves a 5 day break. I was hoping for a clear definition of which days to treat as a holiday and which are not as it affects posting separation and the number of subs that
[07:56:03] <janrinok> we will need. Any thoughts?
[07:59:06] <janrinok> i.e. don't just adopt the 'retail' working hours has the basis for holiday durations. Many people are on holiday until next Monday and some until after the New Year Break.
[08:03:51] * janrinok thanks the lucky stars that he and others enjoy(ed) 6 weeks paid holiday a year - and took every damn day of it!
[10:17:01] <Bytram> janrinok: Fnord666: Gave it some thought... we all need a break. Let's go with weekend/holiday spacing through (and including) January 1st. IOW, commence 'normal' weekday spacing on Jan 2 (UTC).

[10:27:33] <janrinok> Bytram - your decision noted. Thx
[10:30:31] <Bytram> I apologize for the delayed reply. Was more worn out from work than I reallized... couldn't think straight.
[10:30:47] <Bytram> speaking of which, extra extra early opening today...

[10:31:03] <Bytram> laters!
[10:31:14] <janrinok> they certainly get their pound of flesh from you :)
[21:29:41] <Bytram> janrinok: I think they went metric... 1 kg of flesh is more like 2.2 pounds!
