I reckon, I must be the only person at work in Melbourne today?..
Roads were deserted driving in, All the factorys around here have their gates locked, Hardly a truck to be seen, even here, all my staff have an RDO, with the Cup hol tomorrow. What's everyones thoughts on making it an OFFICIAL 4 day weekend?

I'm at work - boss has taken a long weekend and I have 45 mins left till I go home, then at 3pm start my other job. Work there till about 9pm tonight. I'm a storeman - so far today I've picked most of an order to go out Wednesday and received 2 boxes for another order for Thursday. Taken 2 phone calls and filled out most of my tax return which I've been putting off for a bit. Apart from that I've been stuffing around on the 'net for the rest of the day. The hardest part of my day so far was getting up at 7:15. Otherwise it's all cruisy

Same here in Sydney, although obviously nothing to do with Melbourne Cup. I just assumed a bunch of people forgot to set their clocks.
