ScalziIntellectually I know it's Monday, but we're in the week after Christmas, which means that time has no real meaning and today might was well be called Glunday or Mirtday or Quangday, so, happy Nuufday, everybody
Steve Downey@scalzi Germans call this time "between the years. "

sbi@Sdowney @darthmoomin @scalzi This German can confirm that this is a common and universally understood phrase. If they aren't shop owners, cashiers, bus drivers, waiters, etc., Germans will be on vacation during that time, so most offices, public or private, are closed, and the time feels strange, because the old year has basically ended, but the new year hasn't yet begun.

And some will use this for one week of uninterrupted quality work as no one else is working. Less relevant with home office, but still.
For sure for ppl. with kids this does not work (2 weeks school holidays).

@TonyBologni @Sdowney @darthmoomin @scalzi Many people will sacrifice their time for whatever hobby they nerd out about, and, yes, for some people that is their work. Most of us are sorry for them, though. 🙂
(I rather make sure I can set aside time to work uninterrupted when it isn't holidays, but I understand that some people cannot do this.)

@sbi @scalzi @Sdowney @darthmoomin No either or here.
I just remember how much I loved working that week decades ago. ;-)
