    And the Tuesday as well to recover - oh and the Thursday to pack. Now why didn't I think of that?

    The recovery point's a valid one though. Depends entirely what you do for a living, but if someone had been dancing all weekend, driven 5 hours and then got up in the morning to come to work, I'd hope they weren't doing anything dangerous or important.

    It depends on Stewert's boss, but I'd be inclined to go have an informal chat along the lines of "Sorry I messed up my holiday allocation. It'll never happen again and I'll do unpaid overtime to make up the difference".

    Take care,
    Christopher

    Different spelling though, so obviously a different person....

    I'm assuming (possibly wrongly) that because Stewart knows how many people are in his friend's company

    that they work in the same company. Obviously his friend is concerned about the IT guys catching on, so he's cunningly gotten Stuart to pose the question. Doubtless Stewart will turn up to work on both Friday and Monday bright eyed and bushy tailed.

    Nice tag line by the way

    Dance in beauty,

    For Camber/Bognor, I go on Friday night, arrive about midnight, go to bed. I teach Saturday, dance saturday night*, teach Sunday morning, and go home in the aft/evening.

    I'm self employed, so if I don't work I don't get paid. A sickie is the same as a holiday for me, and I'd far rather have a day's pay.

    I don't go to Southport any more.

    Twice I've danced all weekend, got up, walked to the train station, got train then bus to airport, flight home, drive home from airport - then give a 2 hour lecture. Not dangerous...possibly not important either. I try to avoid having to do that if I can though - but several times I have had an important work or voluntary work related meeting on the Monday night that I need to be at. (Eg this Monday) I try to stay awake...

    Good luck

    I kinda got my pronouns (*) confused sorry . My concern is whether Stewart's friend is doing anything potentially dangerous or important.

    Hope you have a great weekend,
    Christopher

    If you have to ask, then it means your friend is probably beginning to feel sick even as you read this - he'd better take some time off work to recover.

    Seriously though, sorry about getting the name wrong

    Be Well, eh um, actually maybe Dance in beauty might be better in this case

    Re: Dilemma over Camber

    If he is that keen on having an enjoyable weekend and not having to clockwatch on the Sunday,might I suggest arriving late on Friday and as he obviously has a well paid job take an unpaid day off on the Monday.
