I came back after 5 weeks of shut down just a week ago, so no.

If you are retired you don't get any days off.
I always liked to work between Christmas and New Years, very few around to annoy me and I could get a lot done.
If you can keep your head while those about you are losing theirs, perhaps you don't understand the situation.

I used to get most done when the company president was away! 
|
|
|
|
|
Pretty much what I am doing, planning on spending the Hols drunk after this year! 
|

|
|
I'm already on leave since last Friday
|
|
|
|
|
First thing I do when I get back in January is book my two weeks for next Christmas.
Traditional beer and curry Friday night; cider farm[^] trip on Saturday; then I'm off until the 7th.
(I would say I'm not even going to look at a computer until then, but I'll probably end up getting roped in to sort out something-or-other on a family member's computer.)
Try not to break the site while I'm away!

Actually 16 days. I used to do this all the time.
|

|
|
Shutting down early on Friday.
Then I'll be checking in again on the eighth.

We have a use it or lose it Paid Time Off policy, so I'm done on Friday until the end of the year. I'll be back to work on 01/02.
In 'Mericuh, but I work for a subsidiary of a three letter German company. The PTO policy is from the subsidiary.

Wow - you're off until February? 
(Yes, yes, I know: 'merican date formats. But if it's a German company, it could be worth a try...)

That's fine for "January 2, 2020", but what about when we want to represent a different date?
I like the old system - each date had its on representation so it was easier to tell them apart.
(except the Euro version - which is way too backwards). 'Till you change your mind, it'll be yyyymmdd and that puts and end to it.

Actually the Euro version is more logical ddmmyyyy - smallest to largest.
|
|
|
|
|
In decimal numbers (and others like hexadecimal), the most significant digits come first. I prefer the same for dates: yyyy-mm-dd.
Most of my files are named in that fashion, so when I open a folder, I see the content in chronological order.
|
|
|
|
|
I agree and have always done that. But when writing dates in non-IT environments ddmmyy is still the preferred option.
|
|
|
|
|
Then that should be mmddyyyy since every month has at least 28 days but there are only 12 months.
'Muricuh!

Taking that to its logical conclusion, your preferred date/time order is:
- Month;
- Hour;
- Day;
- Minute;
- Second;
- Time-zone;
- Year;

It's quite brilliant that Euro Version - so long as you sort from right-to-left
That's seems very sensible.
Let's see . . . what am I doing on the 19th? Never mind if it's this month (or this year) - that's not nearly as important.
