it’s that time of the year again… to plan december leaves!
time to caaarrreeefulllyyy engineer and maximise whatever pathetic balance of leaves left for the year, and minimise the total time spent in the ghost-town office that month.
now, let’s all flip to the last page of the calendar, shall we?
07/12/07, friday: eve of birthday. good time to arrange for some kind (any kind! frisk me for all i care!) of medical appointment, which equals to an MC, which saves me one day of leave.
10/12/07, monday: aniq’s birthday. aren’t they always encouraging us to spend time with our children and families? yes, yes, must take leave to ‘celebrate’ this special occassion. even if it’s just to sleep in longer and let the birthday boy run amok around the house.
11/12/07, tuesday: eve of payday. that means there should be some $ in the kitty for that MCR concert, no? ok, KIV that. it *would* be nice for a little time-out for mummy and daddy. hmm.
21/12/07, friday: woah, another hari raya! always good to rest after all that, err, kambing action and mutton rendangs.
24/12/07, monday: well, why stop at hari raya? let’s get jolly and celebrate the eve of xmas too! (and no, husband, i am SO not up for that long drive to m’sia, nevermind that we have a bigger boot space now for aniq and me to golek-golek around in.) (wait, didn’t we plan to go on a REAL holiday this year? bah. stupid bank account.)
31/12/07, monday: new year’s eve. ah, what the heck, who wants to come to work on the eve of new year, AND a monday at that? sheesh.
*counts* hey, five days in all! not bad, and i still have a balance of, err, 3.5 days, which would probably be squandered away this month alone. (forget about bringing over to next year, life is short, baybeh, spend it all while you can!)
oh and in between that, there are always child care leaves, courses, and unnecessary meetings to be arranged. 
so, ho ho ho, and merry leave-taking, everybodeee!
