9.9 is that all?

I've 12 to book, 6 to take Weds-Mon when I was supposed to go to Belgium with son no. 2's team, 12 booked for summer holidays. That's a total of 30 to take before the end of August. Not sure how I'm going to get those in. Again.

30..... You lot don't work in August anyway.

30..... You lot don't work in August anyway.

I've been carrying days for a lot of years due to covering for lots of people and this year got told to stop it. Then they gave me extra work to do. From memory I was carrying 48 days' leave for this academic year. Plus bank holidays.

Time to book things off. I've a bit of re-sit support, some re-sit marking which I'll ask for assistance with from the person who's marking I did, a graduation and that's it.

Ah.... they only let us carry over 5, but I'm taking them this year.

Usually my average is around 18mph so there's a long way to go.

Your average is twice my standard bimbling pace. I'd be flung into a time warp if I were ever caught in your wash.

Noted. But I think the lungs are now clear

They're just really nice sweets anyway.

I only work 8 days a month, so 40 days holiday would do me just right until Christmas

The peach I've just had was sooo juicy that I had to lean over the sink to eat it! 🚿

 

[fossyant]

Righty, next establishment.

 

[Reynard]

I fear we might start to hear some Klingon drinking songs in the not too distant future...

@fossyant - all outstanding leave has been booked. And yes, I'm now going to be off all of August. And most of the rest of July.

Given I was due a sabattical this year, before they all got offically cancelled, I'll just treat it as if that's what I'm doing: "I am a teacher on sabattical ..."

 

[Andy in Germany]

Currently fending off attempts to make me do cover duties for a manager in another shop.

As I've heard nothing in the last couple of hours, I'm assuming I was successful.

In the meantime I've been making signs to organise the bike workshop.

4 minutes with my current hobble.

Sounds fairly typical of an academic.

Hmm not sure this establishment visit was the best. Nice location, lovely fountain in the canal basin, but it's somehow blowing a hoolie round here. So far Bunny Jacksons, Rain Bar and now Society near Bridgewater Hall. Peaky Blinders next to pick up a 'woman' (the boss) 👅

 

[fossyant]

That shocked me. Peaky Blinders own larger is £4 a pint. That's cheap for Manchester

Don't get caught short here.

Rather restrictive.
