Title: Bank Holiday Monday - who's working it?
Post by: deeege on May 03, 2012, 10:13:55 pm
I'm not usually a big fan of working bank holidays but on Monday I will be.

Have 2 pubs, 1 care home and 2 offices to clean which shoulda been cleaned end of April.

Who else is working it? Or all spending time at home with family?

I agree, far too many bank holidays.

I always take easter and august bank holidays off, but may day bank holiday I'm not fussed about.

C'mon guys, it's a Bank Holiday; take the time off to relax and chill.

You know, on a Bank Holiday, there's nothing better that I like to do than to get my red knickknicks on and groove to the Sugababes in the kitchen, half nekkid whilst smerking a tab (e-cig) and necking a glass of pink (alcohol free) wine.

Life's too short to work yourself to death.  Enjoy the time off.

I didn't know there was a bank holiday untill I read this thread.

Worse than that, I wrote out a receipt for a customer last week and I got the year wrong not by one year but by two years.

I must be getting old.

Go and see your doctor.  There's lots of reasons for memory loss (other than being stupid and old).  Get it checked out.

Post by: rosskesava on May 07, 2012, 08:29:04 am
Got a few jobs that can only be done when the customer is in and today is perfect for that plus the normal problems of parking restrictions on a single yellow line don't apply as it's a bank holiday.

Should be back by 1pm so it's a short day.

I will be doing some.  I have a couple of commercial jobs that should take up two hours.  Then I'll do a few residentials.  Won't do a full day though.
I'm still tired from Saturday's exertions (12 hour round trip to watch football).

Spent the morning at the local play centre with the wife, 3 year old and baby. Back home for lunch and more fun and games with little one.

He's now shattered and watching a programme before having an early night, so me and the missus can enjoy a glass of wine together.

No way would I work a bank holiday nowadays with a young family. Never used to bother me but weekends and bank holidays are family time now.
