Holidays for next year

[Drago]

Life is too short to spend it at work.

I guess this is working on the ( very dated ) assumption that people work Monday to Friday.

I really enjoy my work.

Trying to decide what to do for holidays and making all the arrangements is the stressful part of my life.

I earn a few bob but I would not call it work as I love fixing dents.

 

[Drago]

I really enjoy my work.

Me too. Mooching, reading, snoozing, cycling, shooting, and I get to choose exactly when I do any of these things. I even get paid. Its great!

I could have chosen to do that from 1991. The good thing is that I can choose to do it any time I want, but it would bore me.

 

[Drago]

Cycling, reading, shooting ham radio, up to Sywell or Cranfield plane spotting, not to mention my SAR volunteering...wish I had time to be bored! Jeez, my diary is so full I'd struggle to find time to go away on a holiday.

If you cant fill your free time with satisfying and absorbing things to do then I would suggest a deeper malaise, a whole life adjustment problem or somesuch.

Every New Year, I plan my hols around Bank hols etc, like this to save on using up my allowance.

Totally agree. My life is full now. I have projects on the go which I just about find time to do. If I could retire tomorrow (and be able to afford to live) I'd have no trouble filling my days. Unfortunately I have to work 9-5 for the next 15 years at least

It doesn’t work with my shift patterns. I can get 12 days off for the price of 4, if I get my days off right, around certain bank holidays though.

mine either and we are only allowed so many off at one time , apart from shutdowns were booking full weeks for next year atm and if 2 people want it you have a 50 % chance of getting it.Had to try to book school hols mrs ck cant get off.
