WestCountryGirl Posted January 14, 2020 Report Share Posted January 14, 2020 I've extended my annual leave to include the full week post-Glasto, and now instead of coming straight back to Liverpool I'm going to head deeper into the south west and stay at my parent's house for a few days. I can't think of any better way to get over the post-Glasto blues than in my own back garden. Of course, this vision of this blissful week is entirely awash in glorious sunshine and soaring temperatures... If only that could be guaranteed!

Gingerfish79 Posted January 14, 2020 Report Share Posted January 14, 2020 (edited) Booked my leave and nearby hotel for the Tuesday before. Just the balance payment and alcohol to sort out now. Oh, and also trying to lose 2 stones! Edited January 14, 2020 by Gingerfish79 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grilladelphia Posted January 14, 2020 Report Share Posted January 14, 2020 would be interested to see a poll (nearer to the day?) on when everyone is back at work after G Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoundsofSmith Posted January 14, 2020 Report Share Posted January 14, 2020 Over the last couple of weeks i've listened to this banging mix of Come Together by Primal Scream every single day. If this doesn't get you ready and pumped for Glasto then I don't know what will. Reminds me of summer sunshine and fresh cold cider. F**k it i'm gonna listen to it again.

Billy Shears Posted January 15, 2020 Report Share Posted January 15, 2020 Booked Glasto off work, despite not having a ticket (yet). Denial in it's finest form! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam_Sharp22 Posted January 15, 2020 Report Share Posted January 15, 2020 I don’t get my annual leave approved till the month of said annual leave or 30 days before, it’s already caused me to have a row with my business manager once but all of my other holidays have been booked 6+ months in advance plus I get more annual leave than my last place the downside being I work bank holidays, Christmas etc etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gnomicide Posted January 15, 2020 Report Share Posted January 15, 2020 Also got my leave approved this week, was a bit concerned as it's new employers but I was ready to throw the pre-booked holiday line at them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadly I don't have that luxury anymore so will probably be off until the wednesday/thursday. I also don't get as messy as I used to so don't need as much time to recover!

lukethekid Posted January 15, 2020 Report Share Posted January 15, 2020 There’s 4 people in our group who all work together, we bought tickets without giving our boss any idea that we were trying, as soon as we secured tickets we all walked in to her office at the same time and told her. Waited to be told no but she was happy to give the 4 of us the time off, probably helped that she attended the festival last year 🤟🏻 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did she get tickets for this year? I can’t imagine how it must feel like being a manager, failing to get tickets, and the next morning 4 grinning members of staff stroll into the office and ask for time off for Glastonbury! 😁 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She didn’t try this year, would have been an awkward conversation us having secured tickets and she hadn’t, I reckon we might have got a different answer to the annual leave request 😂 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sasperella Posted January 16, 2020 Report Share Posted January 16, 2020 I've planned my exit strategy and booked most of it! Three of us are heading back to Glasgow so we have sorted a flight at 8.10pm with three day beds at the airport for a little snooze before then. I'm not thrilled at the idea of dealing with a flight on that Monday but it absolutely cannot be worse than the 7 hour train journey from hell I had to sit through last year.
