What is hacking you off today?

[MK Shrimper]

Meetings where you want to slice your wrists open and end it all. :sad:

I had a nice 30sec nap however and I don't think anyone noticed. :smile:

Our company have offices across Europe, but the HQ is in Austria. Earlier in the year, it was announced that, in order to align with our Austrian colleagues, the UK office wouldn't close over Christmas. So if we want to take time off between Christmas and New Year, it comes out of our holiday balance. A bit annoying, but fair enough.

Except, Austria have loads of bank holidays - they're off again today - that we don't have. Do we get those off? Do we ****.

Same here. Have to say holiday for that time or basicly starve.

True! But after a few years of getting those days off for free (I've done my fair of working through the festive period over the years) it is a bit of punch in the balls. I will book it off though, can't be doing with the 'work from home' facade.

I like the idea of more time off work - who doesn't! - although I'm not so sure about the idea of linking them to the patron saints of the UK's constituent countries. Means the year is too front-loaded in terms of days off.

Next to no sleep most of the week as hubby has been working all hours with the bloomin' delays to so many inbound flights because of the weather and French air traffic controllers. I can't do the going to bed at 10, getting up at midnight then back to bed at 3 to get up at 5 thing - in fact, I have been totally disorientated by it....last night his alarm went off at midnight and I totally freaked out. He's just getting up again now to work through the night before going to be after I get up in the morning.

Bet he wished for A/C yesterday with jobs going to Bristol, Southampton, Birmingham and Liverpool all coming out within half an hour of each other from the airport.

That sounds like a plan,4 more days to add to all those other days of non productivity old Steptoe would amass.:facepalm:

The cost of housing. Work for the NHS on relatively low wages and literally can't afford to rent a flat.

Yet the same people I'm helping get everything for free and lead a better life. Not enough being done to help those who work hard in the public sector.

Boiler breakdown. :angry:

Indeed. It's turning the heating on despite being off and the thermostat wound right down. Fortunately it's covered by British Gas.

Also getting on my goat is ****ing gardening. It's never ending. :facepalm:
