Yes although on Monday we celebrate Her Madges Birthday here in NZ (and yet strangely it is not a public holiday back in the good old UK), and that does mean a good lie in on Monday morning, it still does not mean a day off from the routine! Whilst everyone else at work makes plans to get away from the city for a couple of days and enjoy the extra day, those of us manacled to our machines thrice weekly will still have to endure the ongoing ritual, at the same time just to round off the long weekend. Of course with no work it does mean we can arrive earlier, but the shift does not change and so I get there at 3pm, the start of the late shift. Dont get me wrong this is not a complaint, just an observation and a reality check to those who ask what my plans are for the long weekend. we don't get a day off from dialysis.
Yes it is a better drive in because there is no traffic whatsoever on the roads, but the drudge is still the same, except for the nurses and technicians who get a day in lieu and time and a half for working on that day. Good for them, they deserve it!
Corgis barking Happy Birthday!
