Yip, stuck at work here too.
Very quiet in the office though, I think an extended lunch may be in order.

I have four days off but am earning nothing. I'd happily work today if there was work to be done.

It's all about attitude, see.

I'm in all weekend upgrading the finance system

click start......<wait>.......click start......<wait>.......click start......<wait>.......

Overtime payments have been discontinued, so we're getting paid in holidays. This means I can exchange my fixed 4 day easter break for 8 floaters. Who'd want easter off anyway - everywhere's full of plebs and their revolting offspring!

So, that's 8 hooning days dictated by the weather rather than 4 statutory rainy days in early April. I can feel a good summer approaching.......

Im not sure how you would class it as being lucky, Unless you will be earning time and a half or even double. It makes no difference to me whatsoever. I would rather be out on the motorbike to be honest.

Other half booked this weekend off, but then had today cancelled so has had to go in.

I was working this morning, have two shifts tomorrow (7am till 10 am and then 6pm till 9pm), back on the computer for a shift Sunday am and then again Monday am.

Luckilly I work from home, so if it's quiet online, then I can do other stuff at the same time.
