The trailer started and I made noises and turned over.
I can't look.

Belated acknowledgement of Chompy's booze joke.
I posted and ran as I realised it was time to go to the comic shop.

I'm a fat, tee total, comic geek. Thank god this only happened when I was in my late thirties and not when I was 21.

Arse.
I've just found out I fucked up my holiday count for the year and I still have 9.5 days left to take. I can take 5 into next year and already have the three days next week off.

That leaves me a day and a half that I may lose unless I can find a way to have them this week, but we already have the max people out of the office, so it's got to be signed off at the very top level and they will probably say "No, it's your own fucking fault, you fat fucking sober fucking geeky fucking moron".

We pay our staff if they don't take them all.

Any holiday not taken by 31/12 each year is simply lost.
We get paid for 3 sick days a year and no more.

I've had about four sick days taken off in the nearly ten years I've been here.

I've had none in two years at this job.
Which would come as a shock to anyone I worked with in my last job when I had more time off in two years than I had had in my entire career up to that point. Mainly Mondays.

I'm going to enquire about that. It's not something we do here, but they may allow me to do that rather than lose out.
