Holiday


Guest DannyJay

Recommended Posts

I take two weeks off from the Saturday before and it is an unwritten rule in my office that no-one is allowed hols at Glasto time (only allowed one person off at a time)!

I'm lucky though that no-one else at my work goes to Glasto - in fact they all think I am mad because I take it as my summer holidays!! :blink:

Apparently I can put in for holiday now, which is news to me! So me and the other guy in my team are putting it in tomorrow, I'm just nervous because if one person is on holiday that normally means that no-one else can be off over the same time!!

the tough question is how long to take off? I don't get enough holiday imo as it is :blink:

I work nights so it's tough, if I work tuesday night I could leave early weds morning, but i'd have had no sleep and feel pretty crappy - but taking tuesday off means another day from my holidays gone!!!

how many days is everyone going to take off?

Mine's an either/or situation in that out of 7 of us on my watch only 1 can be off, but with it not being school holidays I usually expect to get it. However I can't even apply until at least January as we have to negotiate between the 7 of us

That said, I will be off. I'm not saying what I do as I and everyone I work with are consumate professionals, but this is the one time of the year when work can kiss my considerable ass, if need be.

Like I said, I *will* be off

I'll be booking a half day on the Tuesday, then off weds-Mon and back to work, albeit a bit groggy on the Tuesday after.

    • I don't think they are too big for Castlefield these days. They've not had a new album for almost a decade and they like playing smaller venues. Maybe multiple nights is another option as they do like residencies 
    • Second half of next week I would expect for stage times.
    • made a last minute decision to go to Belladrum festival.   it was absolutely wonderful.   never been before, to be honest I think I was expecting a stage in a field and a burger van, but its nothing at all like that.   the site is beautiful, its small enough to get around, but big enough that there are things to discover round each corner, there are a good number of small stages tucked away.   you could quite easily convince yourself you were in Glastonbury in places.   I may have only been one time, but already learned a valuable lesson - the site itself may be Glastonbury like, but the "general camping" campsite is very much Reading like! as the morning mist rises... its a view like the Do Lung Bridge scene in Apocalypse Now...   so if you are not 15 years old, go to family or quiet camping which is fantastic.   its a real family friendly festival to - loads of families and kids of all ages running round and stuff for them to do.   I would 100% recommend it, and I really can't see any reason why I wont be going back next year!   🙂 
    • In terms of a Manchester/Leeds date, Wythenshawe? Too big for Castlefield Bowl, Kirkstall Abbey, Millennium Squade
