Mundanity

[growler_south]

Glen just asked 'who wants to work Friday and Monday?' (Friday and monday being public holidays and all)

I had to answer "well, I cant work friday because I'm going to a party, but I can work monday"

Glenn didnt seem impresed with that response.

I wonder if my application for leave on the friday before Anzac day is in jeopardy now?

:-)

Note: I'm on a salary. No extra money for working extra hours, though Glen did say we'd get a day in lieu. Given that taking time off is a stressful, guilt-inducing process as it is, I'd rather not complicate things with days in lieu.)

Here's a tactic. In the future don't say "I'm going to a party." Say that you have a commitment. You do, you accepted an invitation. Leave it at that.

As if he should be surprised that less than a week from a four-day national holiday weekend, people might have already made freakin' PLANS!

Taking time off from work that one is entitled to should not be stressful or "guilt inducing." You've earned the time off, and with reasonable notice it should be granted. Likewise if Glenn needs people to work over a holiday, he should bring that up well in advance - at least a couple months. It's not like no one knows when the national holidays are until less than a week out.
