How many days annual leave are you taking for Glastonbury?

[Guest]

How many days are you taking off work for Glastonbury this year? Do you tend to take Tuesday off at the beginning or more days to recover afterwards?

[kalifire]

I'm taking Wednesday to the following Tuesday inclusive. I actually count Monday as part of the festival. I don't want to have to rush off overnight to get back behind a desk on Monday so I'll be hanging around, taking in the sight of the way things end to compliment the way things began. Call it 'closure'.

Are bars still open on the Monday? If so, you'll find me propped up somewhere with a few die-hards.

I'll sleep when I'm dead!!!*

*or on Tuesday.

4 days in total..Back to work on the Tuesday with the withdrawal sweats

Just four days, Wednesday to Monday. Too much other life going on for any more than that!

Are bars still open on the Monday?

[ICGenie]

Mind you, I say that. I might be on my first day of being made redundant on the 1st July!

[Amy Lawn]

I have Tuesday, Wednesday and Sundays off anyway. So only needs Thurs, Fri, Sat, Mon, but that's a full 40hr working week for me.

[kalifire]

Monday night will me mental. Crew parties in crew bars.

[matt1991]

I go back to work on the Wednesday after. I may take that off too though as last year I was sent home on the wed cos I still wasn't in a fit state for work. Oops

[JoBalls]

I have Tuesday - Monday off as annual leave, and the following Tuesday as "Flexi Leave"... Basically I can take it off if I have accrued enough TOIL (which I will have) and they don't desperately need me in the office (which I hope they don't as I'll be bloomin useless!)

[Stokesy10]

Weds - Weds, 6 days. Fuck going back the Tuesday or Wednesday. I need the sleep paralysing to end first.

[FuzzyDunlop]

Last day in work is Tuesday 24th June

First day back is Monday 7th July

[rexclark]

Finish on the 20th of June, back to work on the 3rd of July.

Five here - Wednesday to Tuesday. Can't be doing with rushing back

[grumpyhack]

I'm lucky, I'm a self-employed adult and community ed tutor and everyone who employs me knows that Glastonbury week is sacred and I won't be available.

Take off from Monday till the following Wednesday.

Need Monday to pack, Tuesday to travel and get set up in CV East. Festival Wednesday-Sunday. Monday to pack up and travel home. Tuesday to get over it.

Ready (ish) for work on Wednesday.

I'm working a half day on the Monday before (gives me the afternoon to know I've tied up all my paperwork before going on leave so will probably still be at work) thenoff until the Monday a week after the festival (the 7th July). Longest I've ever taken, usually go back on the Friday after the fest to kick me back into some kind of normality which seems to break the post-Glastonbury misery, but now Friday is my day off each week anyway.

Probably for the best, since it is looking increasingly like we will have to complete on the house we are buying and move a coupe, of days after we get back. Pretty sure it will actually kill me.

2 weeks,because of my travel arrangements to work it makes it cheaper for me to be off all that time and that gives me the time off to go and see Arcade Fire on the 3rd July.

[bexj]

I will take 2 weeks - it's my main summer holiday, and I get 6 weeks holiday each year so may as well make the most of it.

3.5 days as per. Work a half day from home on thurs then leg it to Victoria for a 2pm coach.

I like to save as much hol as poss for other stuff - though having said that the tues off is compulsory (tried to work it in 98 - never again!).

[Funkyfairy!]

I have 8 days , the Friday before to get ready, and catch the boat the Friday evening ... Then a few days in Devon with the campervan, onto glasto on the Tuesday ready for getting to site Tuesday lunchtime, and then leave the following Monday where we meander our way back to Weymouth to catch a Tuesday boat back - a lovely long break :-)

[RobertProsineckisLighter]

I'm off Tuesday and back in Tuesday so 5 days. Will probably work from home the Tuesday I'm back at work. Hopefully I'll not end up with a panicked call from my boss mid afternoon Thursday this year.

[jeffie]

WFH on Tuesday morning. Leave middayish. Come back on Monday. WFH/rest Tuesday.

[airwaves]

Working week for me is Tuesday to Saturday and I finish work at noon. So I work the Tuesday and then travel.

So 4 days, Wednesday to Saturday.

Hopefully I'll not end up with a panicked call from my boss mid afternoon Thursday this year.

I've got the Tuesday right thorough to July 7th as annual leave. I shall spend that week watching the BBC coverage that I've recorded and feeling a bit depressed (mainly cos the BBC coverage is so shit)
