taking leave

Second entry today to make up for the lack of entries these last couple of days

So anyway, I’m facing a problem. A happy problem actually, but a problem nonetheless.

Thing is, I’ve got 15.5 days of annual leave left from last year which I’ve not consumed yet. And I absolutely have to consume them by end of this year, otherwise they’d all be wiped out. Then, I just found out that we’re given 7 working days of marriage leave. Not calendar days mind you. WORKING days. Add to that is the holiday off in lieu that we’ll be getting for deepavali, since it falls on a Saturday. This means that all in, I have 23.5 days of leave to clear, all by end of the year. And I haven’t even included my 21 days leave entitlement for this year, which can be carried forward to next year. Happiness!!

BUT! I cant find the time to clear them all. Been staring at my calendar for the rest of the year, and it’s filled up with work deadlines and work events which simply cant be skipped. Here’s the plan for my leave so far:

Week before wedding – 5 days
After wedding leave till the end of the year – 9 days
Hari Raya leave – 3 days

Which still leaves me with 6.5 days of leave to clear. Hmmmmmm

I think I’ll have to take leave here and there..whenever the opportunity arises lah. Otherwise theres no way I can clear them all.

I’ll start with this Friday then. Yeehah!
