It’s May Day in the UK today. It’s a public holiday, and we’re taking it.
If you’re taking today off too, enjoy!

I wish we had as many holidays and as much vacation time as one does in other countries!
Enjoy!
That’s us done now until August. There was talk of us getting a day for the VE Day anniversary, but that one seems to have fizzled away. Sometimes they give us an extra day and it’s a Saturday! Gee, thanks. Of course, freelancers and zero hours workers don’t get paid like staffers do, so I have to build it into the budget ahead of time. I’ve only recently started actually taking them instead of working while everyone else has a day off.
EDIT: I lied. We have another one at the end of May and *then* that’s it until the end of August!
