What days does your firm close for the holidays? Are you all working on January 2nd?

(I don't want to be a task master, but as an associate, I was expected to work a half day on the 24th, and a half day on the 31st. I'm closing the office 23rd and 26th this year, but currently listed as open on Jan. 2nd).

I will be open January 2. I was expected to work all of the 24th and the 31st as an associate. I don’t do that in my practice.

We have the 23&26 and 30&Jan2

Off the 2nd. Taking a little trip to NOLA. YAY!

Clients call on my cell 24/7 over the holidays with custody/parenting time problems. I get exhausted by the end & need the break. I feel like if I were an accountant, November-jan 1 would be my tax season, closely followed by May (start of summer vacation) & august (back to school). Taking a break after putting out all the fires, even a long weekend, doesn’t suck.

There were several negotiations on the higher priced one. (Continued…)
