Holiday booked, off on the sick

Post by simply_the_best »

Had my holiday booked months ago but have been off with a sore foot recently and won't see a specialist for another couple of weeks, anyone know the drill i should follow and what RM are likely to say about this?

They'll probably say your avatar is s**t.
Have you considered changing it?

Booked as in RM know you are on holiday - or booked as in flying away.

If first then nothing you will be able to claim it back when you return to work.

If second then get advice from Doctor to see if it will improve condition, if Doctor okays it then you must inform the DOM and get their permission to go as the sickness guidance says you must remain at home.

Flying away bud, heading down to see the DOM this week so will let him know, It might not be happening for me though as i see a specialist in 2 weeks and might need to get my op when i am due to be away.


Thanks for the reply.

I think he's going to get a new tattoo ..................54 is it :nervous :chuckle :chuckle

Seriously, it's just football and not worth anything more than 90 minutes distraction on a Saturday.

Aye no wonder you've got a sore foot considering you're 'up to your knees in fenian blood'. I've seen some stupid things in my time but using an avatar like that on a site like this must be right up there.

FFS is it no bad nuff seeing this shiat every day on the streets of Scotland without seeing it on here too!?!?!


And no, I'm not a bitter tim, or a tim or anything else, just someone who's sick of all this shiat!

Was really looking forward to this week, no football, no bitterness and then come on here to see it. GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
