For the past few weeks I have been on half time - 3 days one week, 2 the next.  This means less people in so we can spread out.

Today it has been decided because some are able to work from home my team can revert back to 5 days a week.  Apparently Her Majesty (or at least her local representative) has decided if they are going to pay me for 37 hours a week, it might be an idea if I work 37 hours a week.

I call that rude.

Why should I change the habits of a lifetime?

May I apologise for what was meant as poking fun at myself complaining about having to work, may have come across as a bit tone deaf for those of you with actual lockdown problems.

My apologies.

No need to apologies LH and thanks for your concern guys (you are the most convivial bunch that I have never met  >:<)

Fortunately my woes should be temporary, it's those working on the front line and losing loved ones to this blight I feel for.

After a pint of that stuff, she'd be more likely to have to dig a hole in the garden and put you in it - and nowhere near the barbeque.
