      But remember, this February is a very special February and this is something to keep reminding the permies. They have to work an extra day for nothing whilst we get paid for it.

      As this extra day is a complete bonus, we should all treat ourselves with the money.

      What will you be buying yourself for Leap Year Bonus Ball day?

          I know that sometimes I have unproductive days but isn't the above just pure fraud?

            Permies have been doing it for centuries. They call it throwing a sickie.

              Smilies are not allowed in february, for reasons you've hinted at in your original post.

              Saddies are allowed, but we don't have any accurate pictures of the sad gits on here, though I believe they are referred to as the Majestic 12.

                Smilies are fine, I expect a PICNIC problem.

                    Pondlife: I told them about last Friday, that I will have to go out of the house for 2 appointments, and gave them the choice, I either be available on the mobile phone and email (had my laptop with me - but I expected them to ring me if they need me) the other option is for me to officially take a day off, the programme manager chose to have me on-call so to speak, so he knew I will be out of the house, but will keep my mobile on and they can reach me anytime they need to... but the fact is they didn't call...

                    Do you still think its fraud?
