The Spirit of Christmas

I guess some people don't have much of it! This was an email sent yesterday from the Head of School! Note the pleasant Christmas greetings!

To add to the information given by Jane, to the best of my knowledge, the University is open until 4.00pm on Friday 21st December. I gather some people were saying that they would stop work at mid day on Friday because this is what we normally do on the last day before Christmas. This is incorrect and instead of asking you to work until lunch time on Monday 24th, the University is giving you the whole of Christmas Eve off, but it is not giving you half of Friday as well. If you want to take Friday pm as annual leave, please feel free to do so, but ensure this is recorded.

Don't get me wrong..I am grateful and we have very generous holiday arrangements as it is..It was the spirit of the message, not the message itself that was annoying! Hope you have a great Christmas. I expect you are working hard throughout!

I'm always grateful that we have our dogs. We had never been dog owners up until our move but it had been something that we both wanted ...
