The most awkward bank holiday ever

[Elpenor]

Jfc so my Trust rota coordinator just emailed telling me that I was on call for the Mortuary Bank Hol ‘because I was on call until 9am on the Monday and from 5pm on the Monday’. Umm no, that’s my time to sleep??

But I replied yes that’s fine assuming I get BH rates.

She then rung me up to tell me that no it would be day rate and implied I shouldn’t be aiming to capitalise off the Queens death

So I said no quite right, I’ll take my holiday and sleep and watch the funeral to PAY MY RESPECTS instead and you can find someone else to cover paeds 9-5.

She’s now checking with finance that they’ll pay BH rates. I mean wtf I think I should argue for BH rates 9-9 and consider 9-5 bloody tight fisted. Absolute jokers.

If it’s a bank holiday you should be paid BH rates. I can’t believe there’s even a discussion about it

Damn straight Edie, you're not trying to capitalise off the Queen's death, you are (and rightfully) capitalising off your valued skillset

NHS staff have no control over pay scales, banding or staffing levels, but if you're doing a job at a certain time, you should gets the money you supposed to gets, no quibble...

Agenda for Change might be a steaming pile of shit, but it is unambiguous!

I bet she's not. I bet she's now trying to make it look like she's doing you a favour in paying you the appropriate rate.

yeh but there'd be nothing wrong with capitalising off the queen's death to be paid more money

I had a washing machine repair booked

Update:

It's still going ahead

Another complete smasher of a gag! Nice one

That washing machine repair man is clearly some kind of anarchist

I guess somewhere along the way we definitely lost our bearings

Double bubble

Hopefully after Monday herself in her grave won't be the only thing turning

Choice between earning cash in the middle of a cost of living crisis and having to watch nothing but the monarchy 22 all day and it’s easy to see why.

If the pubs were open you’d be fucked.

I've been panic buying as I too suspect nearly everywhere will be closed on Monday.
Fortunately my steam train trip to the Goodwood Revival on Sunday is still on.

And they’ll each have got a free cookie when they checked in, which is a doubletree brand standard

Should be doughnuts.

Just as well as you'd be all washed out.

Thats handy, always thought they were a Miele ticket for the retailers

 

[SpookyFrank]

i'll tell you who's doing very nicely out of this, a team from lancashire constabulary who are being put up at the double tree hilton hotel in the angel, maybe 15 or so of them - saw two carriers and a range rover outside. i wonder who's footing the bill for that, the unhappy denizens of lancs or the unfortunate residents of london

Standard magic money tree stuff.

Have they not got enough filths in London to protect a woman who has her own armed forces and is in any case already dead.

 

[hash tag]

I heard it said that the protection squad is now bigger than the West Midlands force!

 

[Orang Utan]

As a mark of respect, I shall spend Monday morning lying in a state

 

[Louis MacNeice]

Me and Mrs Mac will be heading off into the hills with picnic, friends and cold beer. I'm sick of this idiot childishness.

This was mentioned on the Disney + thread, but they are currently (up until 19th) doing 1 month's sub for £1.99 (usually £7.99, you can cancel any time before it renews and still get the month for £1.99), so if you're going to be stuck indoors Monday with nothing to do and don't already have it/want to watch some of their offerings, that might be an option.

When is is safe to get out of bed tommorow? 12pm?

I really wouldn't bother.
