Don't book time off just yet...dates havn't been decided!

Can we avoid March / early April. Am changing jobs over this period so I wont be able to make any dates in this time frame. Late April/May would probably be nicer anyway.

I'll have to have a look because, working shifts, it can be a bit of a mare getting time off if any of the other supervisors have holiday booked.
Howw many days are we talking about do you think ??

Probably a long weekend.....

This won't take place in May(thats pretty certain) as i have my finals then and i should probably do some work.

I'll have to wait until my exam dates are finalised, before anything is offered. Going by previous years, then they should be all done by early June at the latest.

Ferry sounds like the best option.. I guess it's just down to dates and when we can all get together.

I'm the boss of the department. I can take holidays when ever I please.

Today was a calculated gamble. My sick note was valid for 4 weeks. This was actually given to me before I went in theatre for the operation. I was supposed to be having the finger amputated. For which I was given the four weeks off work. As we know this turned into minor surgery but the sick not still stands and does not actually state what was done.

Already knowing that I would not be covered by the works insurance policy as I have been signed off sick, I handed the note to my manager with the expected reply.

Now I can spend the next two weeks at home in the knowledge that my boss told me I was not allowed to come back to work rather than them thinking I am taking the proverbial by having 4 weeks off work with a simple finger operation.

As it happens, by the time I got in to work this morning my finger was giving me merry hell pain. It's twice the size as the one on the other hand and looks like it has a severe case of sunburn. Very infected indeed. So the Sundays ride out took it's toll. Even so, it was worth it.

Maybe. Depends when it is, really. May and June are rather iffy with a trip to France already booked, Glastonbury pencilled in, a bike rally in Slovenia and I'm trying to avoid being roped in to Euro2008...

Sounds like a great idea for a long weekend. I'm a bit iffy over the summer with my dates as well so unlikely I can make it - will watch with envy though...
