Though I’m sure they have staff to wash their hair and they had lasered off all the undesirable hair years ago. I don’t want Monday. On the plus side, only 6-8ish workdays left this year.

Q the Cat Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 I get to work from home on Mondays now. It makes the transition into the work week a bit more gentle. And I can get my laundry done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, but we won’t be working next Friday and I’m not working this Thursday. There’s also a Christmas party this Friday and next Thursday. Which leaves me with 5 and half work days, god bless it.

I still have a class to listen to next Friday, but I probably at least won't have the evening lesson. And not sure if I will be working next Thursday. Stil have to survive getting up at early o'clock three times ... And in fifteen days, I go see the supernatural entity. Not that I am impatiently counting down or anything.

Nobody can possibly be such an eminent student. Of course not, we can totally see that you are absolutely indifferent about these visits and talk about anything but.

I am pretty sure his parents make the schedule. He is really not all that into the whole school thing. I mean, I don't want to work then either. The only thing that sucks about this December being shorter in regards to work is that, being paid per hour I actually worked, I am going to get less money for the month ... You see? BTW, how is sister? I do not think we have had a funny update in a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lil O is home with me today - poor kid had croup on the 1st followed by fever and non stop congestion. And now he has impetigo, yuck. Kids and germs. Germs and kids. Lovely cycle. Sounds like you guys get some decent time off of work for holidays. And snow! I would love to see snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poor guy though, German lessons on Friday night... yup, same here, though I seem to have reached an agreement with my company to arrange something that resembles paid vacation days. Sister is not well right now, she has bronchitis. She’s been home for a week and will have to stay home another week. She is gutted because she misses out on all the drama at school and will have quite a lot to catch up on. 4 minutes ago, Lady Olenna said: SE = BF ... got it I managed to keep down a chai latte and a sandwhich today.. watch out world here I come!!

Poor little O. Hope he gets well soon. I suppose that’s because neither of us are “employees” in the classic sense. Which has its ups and downs, but extended Christmas is one big advantage.

Try not to get any of his germs yourself. No, I am not an employee either. I work on a shit contract that that is insanely highly taxed, I get only paid for the hours I actually spend in the classroom without all the preparations, which can take a while too.

Oh, definitely. I had a great Monday for once, school was cancelled. The only time I left the house was for a brief snowball fight with my sister. i was just wondering if there’s a Star Wars combo at the movies. My inner 10-year-old wants to get a Star Wars cup with a figurine. Possibly filled with water. I don’t want to drink the sugary nightmare that comes in it. I got a Chewbacca figurine two years ago. But I was very grown up the othe week and didn’t get a Jason figurine when I went to see Justice League. *pats her own shoulder* kinda fearful but very excited about the movie 1 hour ago, Buckwheat said: Yay for paid vacation days, boo for sister's bronchitis.

Oh man, that doesn’t sound very good :/ I work on a very very very complicated contract, it’s not an ideal work arrangement at all, but it does have a couple advantages so there’s that at least.

Somebody tell me how to survive the day out and about without falling asleep. Yes. Good idea. Serious. I’ve only accepted jobs/salaries verbally and then signed very basic paperwork - but never for a certain amount of time. Work until you quit or get fired. Coffee? That might help. Maybe two cups. Or a nap if you can sneak it in. Edit - now that I’m thinking it through I guess teachers and other certified employees sign contracts. But with union representation teachers rarely get fired or lose their contracts, at least here. And I don’t recall nurses having contracts. But I could be wrong.

HexMachina Posted December 12, 2017 Share Posted December 12, 2017 The idea of not having a contract of employment for a job like teaching, nursing etc. seems nuts to me. The U.K. is pretty much the opposite end of the spectrum though with the full contract of employment made up from bits and bobs from all over (although certain particulars of employment need to be contained all in one document). More casual and at-will and zero hours employment like bar staff I can see that situation. But even when I worked in retail I got a full contract of employment, booklet of terms and conditions and company standards etc. Nuts! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it sounds like they'll be treading new ground and doing unexpected things, which in my mind is exactly what the sequel trilogy needs. And initial reviews have been positive, so I'm very excited now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
