Yeah, I think this setup's too old, (like me). Situations to be faced in 2015. Fujifilm won't be updating the current XMF. Major move to 64 bit, so new box required in next few months, I think.

Yeah there have been four full version releases since OS X 10.6.x. Almost anything recently released requires 10.7.x and even it and 10.8.x are getting a little rusty.

I still envy your 2 week shutdown every year.

2 weeks? Paid? Joe, we're living in the wrong country.

Ain't that the truth. Plus it is the middle of summer there. They do drive on the wrong side of the road though.

Probably why they need two weeks off every year.

Lucky.

We get to work all xmas eve and the day after xmas because a designer couldn't get it done by their deadline. Of course since it's a show we can't miss the deadline.

Just regular work days here as well. Who needs time off for the holidays when work is really the only thing that matters? :sarcasm:

We have a Thunder game day program on the day before and the day after... business as usual.

I wouldn't mind so much but I know I will have no work to do, just the press. Since any holiday really doesn't matter to the boss it's just another day for him. It doesn't matter that others here have family in from out of town or anything. No holiday party for us that I know of either.

My company had 2 parties, actually - one was for the marketing company that owns us, and one was just for the print shop. We actually have a full private bar next door at corporate HQ, and the whole thing was held there and catered by our in-house deli (the food was awesome - crab balls, shrimp, raw oysters, beef tenderloin, stuffed mushroom caps, sushi, etc.) The smaller one for ourselves was a week later and was a lot more casual (ziti, wings, cold cuts), but the boss invited everyone to a local pub with open bar and appetizers for a couple hours.

Can't really complain about that - it was great!

We will have our traditional BBQ baseball glove and canned corn X-Mas meal with iced tea. Jealous?

The ink company is bringing by sammiches.

That seems to be the limit of our holiday parties. Nothing from the owner at all.

I think I've bought lunch for the shop more often than he has. Funny, back in the day when he was just sales at another shop he forced the sales team to buy pizza for the shop for xmas during the lean times. He said it's those guys that get our jobs out, without them we have nothing to sell.

Guess things change when you become the boss.
