I've got 23 days away from work!!!!!

And, because I work for the Uni I get 20% extra pay - because I'm on holiday.

Yeah - but that's throughout the year.

(Still not too sure how it works, and I really must take some of my leave - I've only used 3 days in the last 16 months...)

Who? Me? Sorry, Di - I've been saving the holiday so that I can be around when my house is built, but the bloody builder keeps backpedalling....:(

I'm having a week off over New Year, though. Do I get back in the good books for that? :D

That's okay then!

There is an advert on telly here showing a guy who works at one of the Uni's getting a ticking off for not taking holidays cos he's having "way too much fun" (probaby Renth)....

Happy Christmas & a Fun Filled New Year

Isn't it scrummy? Couldn't you just cuddle it to bits?

I wouldn't describe this as "fun" but it's certainly better than getting up at 4.30 a.m. to deliver junk mail to council estates then ending up in hospital with a torn scrotum after being attacked by a dog.

Which is what I used to do in the UK....

Had a look....

Just to let you know - I've finally got around to checking my payslips, and you're right - 20% leave loading, for 4 weeks, just because I've got a pretty face!!

Love it!! :D :D
