    I'm not even sure how that works. Can they name their prices like that?

    If the prices are 3x too high then they can name them all day long as far as I'm concerned.

    I'm not quite ready to go back (but I haven't really had a proper holiday over the past two weeks) but I've booked in a week off properly in two weeks before a fortnight in March.

    Our holiday allowance runs April-March with no carry over which is a bit of a shitter in a year like the one gone.

    I've got two TD days to start the week, so not got the dread as such. Just a lot of anxiety around the whole 'close the schools/keep schools open' saga.

    I could've carried over a week but I was furloughed for five weeks. I can't be arsed with an extra week when you've got a much smaller workforce now and less of a quota to play with. I must've had six or 7 weeks off from reduced staffing alone.

    Same, but I had the foresight to take a load during the spring / early summer when we had the belting weather. I only have a day and a half to take now, mind.

    Who in this country has had a 'proper holiday'? I know in my case it's just been sitting around waiting to go back to work, which for all its tedium does at least give me something to do all day.

    I was saying that to my parents a few days ago. I’m not actually that bothered about going back to work. It gives me routine again.

    I’d rather be retired obviously, but I think being on Indefinite furlough or unemployed would be horrendous for mental health.

    I'm not craving unemployment or furlough but would like to at least switch off and read or something for two weeks without thinking about work. That's what I mean by holiday.

    I was sorta encouraged into taking my 2.5 days accrued in my new place, though I think it was just about worth getting the brownie points rather than having to spend the 30th-31st moving the trackpad around on my work laptop every hour to not appear away on teams as i did "training".

    Not sure what to do with my stuff this year. Probably hoard them as long as possible, maybe use one for an extended weekend when they #opentheclubs.

    I'm going in with the same plan I had last year, minus an actually booked trip. If I get away in March, I'll be happy but I wouldn't bet on that happening.

    First day back at work since the 20th. I’ve had 3 dreams in which he called me out on shit I didn’t do before the holiday and in turn I called my boss a cocksucker. I’m thinking I should follow my dreams.

    I'm back in tomorrow (still in the actual office!) and the thing is closed for stock take, so my job for the next week will be sending emails in four different languages saying 'We are closed for stock take'.

    We could, but we won't.

    I should count my lucky stars that we don't have to help with the actual stock take this year, as some bright spark decided that obviously handling and double-counting 50,000 largely metal items obviously needs to go ahead, but only with the warehouse plebs and not us legends with degrees.

    Surprising: my work is setting up homeworking.

    Not surprising: I'm to be the designated person to stay in the office at all times. Hurrah!

    I actually prefer it as I have a proper working setup here that doesn't do my back in, however it was funny that the boss just walked in and told us. I clearly earned my stripes in the last lockdown.

    After last night's last minute announcement, today has been spent waiting on news on how to proceed with teaching. The plan initially had been to teach children 'live' lessons remotely - 30 mins on Teams, the remaining 30 mins they go off and work on something - on a full timetable. I assumed, wrongly it seems, that we would revert to 'distance learning', whereby teachers voice over a ppt and make it accessible to classes. This is a much more manageable workload for teachers, particularly if they are trying to look after/homeschool their own children. It's also less demanding of students (who could in theory be glued to a screen all day, with none of the social aspects of school or opportunities to get out and move around)

    But no. A full timetable of live lessons this week, continuing next week indefinitely. Absolute shit for brains. Hoping enough department heads raise it as an issue as I'm not sure the NEU specify what lessons should be like.

    I'll be in work for the most part still despite this. Motivation has never been so low in all my working life after being off since December 11th so it's probably for the best to be honest. It was fine in the spring and summer but this is depressing.

    Set for life tickets getting bought at every opportunity.

    Under my desk in the office there's a box there to check you're at your desk. At my home office there's a Playstation. EDIT: Two of them. And a 360. And I'm pretty sure I played through Super Mario Galaxy on company time.

    I made a genuinely awful (though not costly in money terms) fuck-up this morning through lack of concentration, but was then miraculously salvaged by, just half an hour later, my ever-reliable numbskull colleague being revealed to have taken fake credit card details from a new 'customer' in such a way that it cost us three grand.

    I would have sympathised except for the fact that at the time, he asked me if someone called 'Raymond Harris' phoning in with an African accent was likely to be legit, I said absolutely no chance, and then he went ahead with it anyway.

    I once did a sale to a sketchy looking geezer for £1500, 5% of which was my commission. His card bounced after initially going through and he was later arrested for fraud over £10k. Still got my commission though
