12/12/13
then 20/12/13 - 3/1/14 (17 consecutive days off!)

flatly refused

currently failing really badly at keeping my fury at this under wraps

so don't have to book it off. Cheers.

grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
I don't know and i own't know until the last minute. The uncertainty is so annoying (even though I don't have to worry about booking flights home or anythinglike that, for the first time in a long time.)

so am off from 20th Dec to 6th Jan, gonna be great

10 days from the 20th which depressingly means coming back to work on my birthday but at least the office will be empty so I won't have to buy people cakes.

if I can manage it

which is slightly annoying but I've confirmed the 27th off at least which is good news. I can't stand the thought of coming into work for one day between Xmas and the weekend.

Good thing I have a few left.

Not sure about new year's will have to see.

or work on my dipsomania

working those 2 days off betweem xmas and new year though. poop

At a cost of 5 days of A/L. Pretty good!

Think I'll head home for most of it, with a few trips to see friends dotted around just before Christmas and then on NYE.

Negotiations swiftly concluded. Got what I wanted.

Touch me.

Leaves me with four more days to take before the end of the year, too. Wunderbar.

Got the 19th until the 2nd off. Love it. Absolutely love it.

Had 11 days off this year and it was rubbish. Nothing to do. Everyones got commitments. Would rather take 5/6 days off when I can do something. Pretty annoying having people with kids getting priority, but, thems the breaks.

This holiday costs 0 days of annual leave, and equals 8 days off

For a spend of 4 days annual leave, I can upgrade to the bonus holiday package, which means finishing on the 20th and back in on the 6th, so a glorious 16 days worth of holiday.

I'm going to upgrade.

without really checking what days they have off for xmas. so prolly just two or three. ah well.

ask barleysugar

First day back: January 20th

Do I win?

Roll on Easter.

Have you booked any days off yet? Gonna ask sean for two weeks over Christmas and new year. I'll see what he says but I imagine people with kids will take priority.

christmas chez catstro is going to be horrorshow this year due to family dramaz; might just work through it?

and then have 5 days off (including the weekend). Not too bad as the last few years i have had a couple fo weeks and it has got kind of boring towards the end. Looking forward to it.

family business = chances of taking it all off are fuck all.

"You can't take those days off. We're busy then."

They should let me cause I really want it and care about Christmas loads and not Having time off puts me in a mood
I'll probably ask for a few days off

Very excited about this. Someone make it snow.

Don't get paid though, self employed. I'm quite happy sitting around saving money though.

back to work on the 2nd. Cannot wait.

18 clear days off, for the price of 9 days annual leave. It's 2 for 1.

But coming down to london for a week mid dec! One day travel cards for a week! :)

woooo

but can maybe get out of it. Don't really mind that much.
Strangest christmas day I worked was at a homeless hostel. Just me there. Even the homeless had better places to be than in a hostel on xmas day. Just sat eating chocolates and watching xmas tv

I'm knocking it on the head on Thursday the 19th and going back in on the 6th. I've got a day and a half of leave still to use though so may call it a day at lunch time on Wednesday 18th. 18.5 consecutive days.

which isn't too bad, all things considered. Have to work the weekend of the 28th/29th though, so I only get 4 days back home. Pretty jealous of people whose workplaces close for 2 weeks.
