December - Busy or Slow?

[susan silva]

I had a friend tell me in her office December is very slow and she catches up on many a lot.  For me it is the opposite!  Ok,  I don't work in retail, that I could understand or anything holiday related but December (up to Christmas week) is super busy.  I barely have time to use the bathroom!  How is it for others?  Is this your busy time of year, slow?

It's a mix.  It gets a little crazy for me because I use up my PTO time and have the last two weeks off.  It's very slow in the office then anyway.  But the first two weeks of December get busy as everyone wants to clear out the year end stuff.  The week of Thanksgiving I cleared out the old files, boxed up and sent off to storage, so I'm ahead on that front!  Lots of new projects crossing my desk this week, so getting everything to a good hold point is the priority.  Also running queries in our database to clean up missed entries, and a few reverse queries to assist with storage project.

Usually it's a little quieter, but it really depends. This year I have a new boss who is doing a lot of traveling and that's been keeping me hopping, plus some internal reviews coming up as well.
