@dtl Too much hype for the marathon this weekend.

[g7vkq@mastodon.radio]

@dtl there’s a Bank Holiday coming up? Damn - I’d totally forgotten about that

[g7vkq@mastodon.radio]

@Akki @dtl oh gosh yes. We love the marathon … but it sure gets busy in Greenwich

[chris@mastodon.mihalis.net]

@dtl considering accidentally not working on Monday out of solidarity

[dtl@8bitorbust.info]

@g7vkq @Akki I didn't even know that was on this weekend.

I'm really losing the plot.

[g7vkq@mastodon.radio]

@dtl @Akki I’m blaming my loss of sense on my final 3 working days this week…I’d got giddy with retirement dreams (actually, I have a month of vacation lined up first, so officially the last day is 31st May…but in many ways working life is over on Thursday this week)

[akki@toot.lgbt]

@dtl I only know because @sully watches so much TV news so both ITV and BBC news had it on.

[dtl@8bitorbust.info]

@g7vkq @Akki congratulations!

[g7vkq@mastodon.radio]

@dtl @Akki thank you…my wife has already told me what my jobs are for the next month, and booked an extended trip to Tokyo…so the new ‘management’ have already got themselves acclimatised, and laid out their manifesto for managing my time

[dtl@8bitorbust.info]

@tiggy I was so convinced (without ever checking) that Monday was a day off.

[g0fcu@mastodon.radio]

@g7vkq
@dtl Thursday is also my last working day.

[dtl@8bitorbust.info]

@g0fcu @g7vkq congratulations to you too!

[g7vkq@mastodon.radio]

@g0fcu @dtl Congratulations Simon. Clearly the Escape Committee is working hard at the moment

[nigelharpur@musicians.today]

@dtl what bank holiday? (and reading the thread, what marathon?) personally since retirement I adore not knowing what day it is and also having no idea what's going on re public events - joy

[g0fcu@mastodon.radio]

@g7vkq
@dtl Yes, congratulations due to the committee. I am due 7 days holiday so I hope our HR dept. remember to pay me for that.

[maker_of_things@cupoftea.social]

@dtl
Hang on. You mean it's not, and I have to go to work on Monday, again!

Well, that is just not fair, not fair at all!
