Even when things are going well, you can always count on me to find summat to moan about...

Hmm, tis true. Why? you ask. Well, we're supposed to be in the 2nd week of our 2 week band holiday atm, but I haven't done sod all for the last 2 weeks except the day job... With the exception of Music on the Meadows last Sat, which was ace - those of you who missed it should be ashamed

If you knew you had two weeks off from the band, why didnt you take a few days/week off work at the same time? You must get holiday days surely?

Just what I was thinking. It's a little something called annual leave. You must get A/L in a full time job? It's not like you're relief staff is it (and actually, even relief staff get A/L).

If you're skiving Friday anyway, just skive tomorrow as well and go to Alton Towers. If you're 'ill' on Thursday you wouldn't be recovered by Friday. It's probably more believable to take two days off than just the one. Bosses see right through a Friday sicky, but phoning in sick on a Thursday is more random, so they're more likely to believe you're ill.

Sickies all the way. (FYI, I've only pulled one once, and felt thoroughly guilty. But there's plenty other people to open post, you can do it guilt-free!).

This reminds me of a Dilbert cartoon where their boss is furious that employees take '40% of sick days on either a friday or a monday'. Shocking

Annual leave is wonderful, if -
a. You have any left
and
b. everyone else hasn't already booked off at that time
