I take it after we all hopefully get tickets on the 4th?

seems early, but then it's the world cup so lots of people may want similar dates off!


That's when I'm planning to send my request in anyway

[daley]

I asked my head chef this morning! He's a really nice guy tho and said if i get tickets for both T and Glastonbury i can get them both off!

[StormCrow]

My boss made a statement last week something about when I go to Glastonbury next year to which I said "so its ok for me to have time off then" he replied "there is no way I am going to be the first person to stop you from going". So that's my time off sorted  .

I will wait to see i get a ticket first then ask for it off.The world cup groups and matches are annouced on dec 4th so i will put my request in before then.

provisionally booked already - did it pretty much after this years!  Cant officially book it though until we get our new holiday cards in January (boo!)
My team know I want that time off - and if any of them attempt to book it - they know they wont be in my good books!

same, cant book my holiday till start of next year i think

however I can get my request in early so I'm at the front of the queue - meaning theres no excuse why I wouldn't get it

Gonna ask after the 4th..after we all hopefully get tickets

Booked mine the day I got back from this years off from 10th June - 11th July; or, the entire length of the WC  

[rexclark]

I can only get work off in weeks from Mon-Fri so ill be taking  The Monday till (hopefully) the Wednesday.

[lak attack]

ive taking 6 weeks off to go do london, glasto, spain, france and holland should be a mighty fine holiday

[Cassius]

My days off reset at end of year so on first day back in January I will be sending my boss a list of days I want off for all my events next year including Glastonbury

Think im gonna be booking 17 of my 20 days off right on first day

[camperman]

Quite simple , i'm going to glasto deal with it . For anyone who has to sign a contract add this clause or dont sign . I will not be avalable for work durring the glastonbury festival period including 1 day either side for the duration of my employment .  

[dvjj]

I requested the time off provisionally and the reply to my email said  "You can't provisionally book time off until January"... NB There will not be a problem...

Been with the same company for 5 years, I think they know by now!!

[MEGABOWL]

I work in Air Traffic Control, on shifts. Only one of the 7 of us can be off at that time. What I'm hoping works for me is

A) it's not during school holidays which everyone usually fights for
I'm in Scotland so most of them won't be bothered about the World Cup

I won't know until probably January though!

[lynneyt]

Mine are booked - off from 21st to 30th  

[hatethisandillloveyou]

Booked mines off yesterday. Got my boss whos leaving today to authorise it,

Gone for the extra day this year aswel, so we can head down on the Tuesday, which reminds me, anyone got any ideas of the nearest travel lodge (or something similar) to the festival

[JoeyT]

It's common knowledge around the office that i won't be there during glastonbury festival.

I don't like tempting fate though so won't actually fill out the holiday form until i have a ticket..

[Dukeicon]

I booked mine off the week after I came back from Glastonbury this year.

[cejx]

I own the company!!! I've approved my holiday form!  yey!!  Pilton here we come guys.

[Billy09]

Had my time booked off since June, I think I may have done it before the festival. Got Wednesday to Monday off, and don't work Tuesdays anyway. I'm in a partnersip so time off is negotiated, but I make a point of being very flexible with the other 3 partners' holiday for the rest of the year, but they know the Glastonbury period is mine!

[cabstar]

Made it a condition of my employment I am allowed a week of for Glastonbury festival, my boss loved arranging that for me...

So thats the first holidays on the holiday chart every january
