My place has played a blinder this year. Off from 23rd December to 4th of Jan with no Annual Leave having to be used. Lovely stuff.
Now wait for Kiko to bowl in with his traditional 13 months off over Christmas.

Nice. I should book mine. How many days annual leave have you used to get 10 off?
Looking at a calendar, Christmas Eve is a Friday so I reckon I can get away with doing no work on that day without having to book it off. This also means Monday 27th and Tuesday 28th are bank holidays, right? Then I can save my annual leave for Wed 29th, Thu 30th and Fri 31st. Then Monday 3rd is another bank holiday so can resume using annual leave for Tue 4th to Fri 7th and end up with … 16 days off, using 7 days holiday, going back in on 10th Jan.

We get some extra days on top of holiday allowance specifically for Christmas and New Year which then get divvied out, theoretically trying to meet as many people's preferences as possible. So with those and bank holidays after the 24th I'm not back in until the 5th.
I am on-call 1st - 4th but a) that's just a good excuse to not have to pretend to give any sort of a shit about New Year b) it's normally dead anyway and c) even in the unlikely event I do get a callout it'll be even more on-call pay than usual because of it being the bank holiday.
I would ultimately rather just sack off the extra money and not have to worry about getting called out though.
We have to take a holiday for Christmas Eve this year which is a bit of a jip. Used to get to just go on in in the morning and then be let fuck off home a couple of hours later.
We have to take 3 of our annual 20 between Christmas and New Year when the office is closed. I've always thought it a liberty but that's old school industrialists for you.
That'd annoy me if it was only 20 I was getting in the first place. I'm on 25 now I'm in my third year with the company and the three Christmas / New Years ones are extra on top of that.
The good news is after 5 years it goes up to 21, after 10 years 23, and after 15 years, 25 days.
Imagine how many days the old buggers have.
I think I get 30 days (plus bonus days at Christmas) and that doesn't feel like enough. I'm clearly just ungrateful.
My role is basically just me now, answerable to our area manager (3 levels above me), so I reckon I can take the rest of my leave and just doss at home on whatever days are leftover.
I'm on 26.5 days plus flexi-leave (any time we accrue over 7:24 each day). It's amazing.
I get 28 plus Bank Holidays and the option to take overtime back as either days in lieu or pay, bank holidays are double time if needed.
Anyone working from home probably doesn't need a holiday balance any more, especially ones permanently at it going forward.
I'm working from home and haven't done a tap today just like the rest of you. Nobody working from home is working.
Fuck taking holiday when every other mug is on leave, the office is dead, everywhere else is busy and, as Giggles says, you ain't even needing to pretend to be working. All so you can have a wank with your dry turkey meat. Fucking gammons gotta gammon innit.
I've finally worked out why giggles hates people working from home as he's basically projecting his own laziness.
Get to the office you workshy twat.
What job are you in that your manager (or whoever's job it is that relies on you doing yours) doesn't know if you've been productive or not?
Regardless of whether I'm at home or the office it'd be a job of about two minutes, if that, to see if I've been sitting doing nothing all day.
It's pretty specific to you even if it's hard to believe. People can work from home without someone monitoring them, this isn't some Victorian workhouse.
On my work stuff, I've been exploring the company car and it looks like I might be able to get an electric car and get decent subsidies from the state to make it pretty cheap to own and run.
My work shit saga continues after my latest discussion with my boss (first in 2 months).
He told me today he has absolutely no idea what I do day to day which isn’t surprising and as I feared would be the case in this Role which is very new and basically working with a completely seperate function of the business.
He did then suggest that my performance this year had taken a backward step presumably due to feedback he’d received from someone who I think I very rarely work with who also has absolutely no idea what I do day to day and is frustrated I’m not doing what he used to do, because nobody is and it means he has to despite it definitely not being his job either.
Disputed his claim and recommended he seek feedback from people I do actually work with and gave him a whole host of activities I’ve done this year he will have no idea about.
Such a crock of shit. Thankfully bonus this year is based on company performance, but this bullshit has set my career back 3 years. Definitely got a job and not a career at this place now. Only consolation being if they do redundancies again and I do get binned it’ll come with a Ł30k payoff.

Kiko in his new car:
Would have a fair high top speed so.
Share a picture of a well known celebrity that she looks like and/or you picture her as when masturbating.
Should’ve read the post before that, I’ve definitely lowered the tone.
He'll neg you for that. He gets touchy about the cherno stuff.
Maybe Ryan Destiny?
I've only met her once and it was on Teams. We've an irl "away day" soon so hopefully she comes. I stalked her Facebook during the meeting and she's possibly a bit of a weirdo. Like one of those Africans whose accounts look fake cos but turns out she's real. Not lived in England very long, don't know much about her.

I think you missed the "well known" part in Foe's post.
Thanks Baz, a decent update. It's amazing how a personality (good or bad) can affect the 'babesness' of someone once you've met them. I knew a lass who was stunning, but once she opened her mouth it ruined everything. Similarly, saw a fella at college on the first day and acknowledged he was a decent looking chap. Turned out he was a complete dweeb and it just changed everything. No way was I going to shag him after that.
Anyway, I look forward to further updates.
I've convinced my colleagues that we need a young secretary as part of the company succession plan. Hoping for someone who can boost morale.

He's getting conned by a Nigerian Princess that can't open a bank account in her own name.
Hard to explain without showing you, which obviously I don’t wanna do.
Basically hardly any info, the same few photos being rotated as profile pics, with tons of likes and comments that don’t really tie up.
She’s also not that hot in the pics, but over webcam she was very pretty.

I thought today was my last day of isolation but I've Monday off too.
Another day in the office dodged.
Last day before 2 weeks off today and motivation is less than zero.
