Work days to go / Time off for festival?

[neil_d]

I now have 7 work days left between now and Glastonbury (next Thursday off for the football, last day on the Friday).

I'm taking two weeks leave for festival, so that I can head down to the town on Monday (in time to see the football!) and have several days of recovery (plus going to more gigs) afterwards.

How much work do you have left until the festivities can begin? And do you take an extended break like me, or back to the grind on the Monday/Tuesday?

Just told my boss I have an interview for another job. I'll be lucky to get any more time off between now and Glastonbury.

Stop on the Tuesday, drive from Glasgow to Glastonbury early Wednesday morning.

Drive home to Glasgow on the Monday after the festival, back to work on the Tuesday. 

Feel hungover just reading that back.

10 (working a rare Saturday next week). Off to the festival Tues 21st, back to work Weds 28th. I definitely need at least 1 recovery day!  

Would love to make it a longer holiday though and not sure why I don't do this really! The idea of stretching out the festivities with gigs either side is brilliant. That's got to help with both the pre-Glasto excitement AND post-Glasto blues ay? Next year then....

6 shifts left.

Off Thursday and Friday as I'm watching AC/DC in Manchester. Then finish on Friday. Stone Roses on the Sunday. So booked Monday Tuesday off. Back in the following Friday. Last year I booked all week after Glastonbury off and the comedown ran well into the weekend. Hopefully being back in work will bring a bit or normality back into proceedings

Hard to say. I'm a self employed software developer these days. All I know is that I'll stop working Monday 20th and arrive  in the CV field Tuesday.  I'll ease myself back in to work the following Tuesday by replying to an email or two. Maybe do another couple of hours Wednesday and gradually build up until I can face a full day.

Glastonbury is way in the future for me - am popping over to France in the car for a week for the Euros on Saturday. Glasto excitement kicks in when I get back!

[blue6field]

11 days left to work, finish Tuesday night leaving early Wednesday morning driving down from Glasgow.

[shoptildrop]

8 working days left as finish next Friday and will be off for a whole 2 weeks as back in on 4th July

[jparx]

9 days left at work and I'll be off Wednesday-Wednesday, so a good few days recovery after the festival.

It's a pain because we're going through the whole exam boards process and it's the most hellish time of the year. We have about a week to process all of the marks for every student in Humanities, have them moderated by external examiners and get their results back to them.  Glastonbury is a pretty big carrot right now!

9 to go... One of em might be a 14 hour shift, don't know yet... Hopefully they'll pass soon. Last day 19th, back 30th..

Finish on the Tuesday head down wed morning . Taken the Tuesday off after I get home figure will need plenty of sleep 

[Tenaciousbee]

Hopefully 7! 

[Jamie G]

Finish a week on Monday, back to work the following Wednesday for two days then out to Portugal for a week to really recover...... Role on the festival now..... I feel like every night is Christmas Eve now I am getting that excited..... 

[addicted2noise]

7 days left, I have two days off for the Euros next week then off for a week from the 21st. 

[kaytee...]

9 days left in work for me. For some silly reason I've not booked Monday before the festival off 

Actually only just figured that I've got just 10 work days left in the whole of June. Off to Lisbon for NOS Alive the week after returning from Glasto

8.5 - Thursday pm off next week for the football.

My last day of work is Monday 20th.

Back to work on the 4th July, I need the recovery time and to ease myself back to reality slowly.

[mungo57]

10 for me - I have to work right up to the Tuesday. Going down to G from London on the Weds at an as yet to be determined time for first time in a few years and can't wait!

[Heartbreaker]

And here I am trying to find work to get cash to spend at the festival... Student life ain't all its cracked up to be when the loan disappears! 

[Kill_Crazy]

4 x 12 hr shifts to go including tonight (finish Saturday morning). Week off (getting camper ready and fishing) then off to CV fields Tuesday morning. Go home on Monday 27th, back at work Wednesday, Thursday and Friday night then another week off for some barbel fishing on the Wye with Dad. 

[verrymerry]

OH wow when you count it's really not far! 10 days for me  

[MichaelsBeard]

Working up until the Tuesday evening, back the following Wednesday, work for 2 days then off for a week and half for BST (Kenrick and Carole King) and NOS. Counting down the days.
