Last weekend was "Early May Bank Holiday". I had to look that up since everyone just called it a "bank holiday". The beautiful thing is that these bank holidays in the UK are four day weekends where everyone goes on vacation.... everyone that is, besides the Americans. Sure, I could have taken the day instead of Memorial day but the Brits and Eurpoeans get more bank holidays than we do in the states so I would eventually end up short somewhere anyways. (Besides, it is like that week between Christmas and New Year's where your only main responsibility is "hold down the fort" and "deal with issues")
Thankfully I happen to have an American manager - so the two of us "redecorated" the large conference room - much to the delight of the Europeans. Yes, that is dry erase marker. And yes, it might not have been the MOST productive way to spend the quiet time in the office. But... I was merely the accomplice (and made sure everyone knew so - to avoid retaliation) And, we must have been more productive the rest of the day since no one was in the office.... right?
Let's just say, I cant wait for the next bank holiday.
