Holiday

[tinyjo]

Bugger bugger bugger. It turns out that in my discussions with my manager about what time it was OK for me to take off over Christmas was viewed by him as merely speculative and so none of my Xmas holiday is actually booked yet. Plus when I tried to actually book it it turns out that I only have 3 days holiday and not 4 left. Bugger. The confusion arose because I took a day in Jan which I have forgotten (it's on my timesheet so I must have taken it but god knows what I did with it!) and so I thought I had 4 days left. When I booked my last lot of holiday Benedict misread the spreadsheet (I think he added my carryon day twice by mistake) and also told me I had 4 left hence the confusion. So now I have to work on 31 Dec. Boo. On the plus side I doubt anyone else will be doing any work and I can probably head off early as well so I guess I'll manage. The one downside of a potential Canada roadtrip is that it'll suck up all my holiday for next year which will be a bit of a bugger as I quite want to go away with my parents as well. Life is so complicated.

Maybe by then my laptop will have arrived (hollow laughter) and I can work from home...or maybe it'll snow so much that I won't be able to get to London...well I can dream can't I?
