Last weeks thread here

Welcome to this week’s casual kōrero thread!

This post will be pinned in this community so you can always find it, and will stay for about a week until replaced by the next one.

It’s for talking about anything that might not justify a full post. For example:

  • Something interesting that happened to you
  • Something humourous that happened to you
  • Something frustrating that happened to you
  • A quick question
  • A request for recommendations
  • Pictures of your pet
  • A picture of a cloud that kind of looks like an elephant
  • Anything else, there are no rules (except the rule)

So how’s it going?

3 day weekends are fucking amazing: I got top spend all Friday in bed with a tension headache and still had a weekend after it all!

Sadly, I work in a hospital (not clinically), and the whole sector has been 'set alight' recently, so there's no chance of negotiating a 4 day week

Lots of exercise and feeling hung over as a result which has been great. Days getting lighter, too - long way to go though!

If you play your sick leave and annual leave just right, you can probably get a 4 day week for most of the year. Though someone might notice the pattern.

I was gonna suggest four 10 hour days, but if I know anything about hospitals you probably already work eight 36 hour shifts a week. Maybe you escape that.

You know I never thought of that. My team leader is so absent they probably wouldn't even notice, too
