Yep, we all have to show up and sign in or don't get paid for the day.

There may or may not be something to do...a workshop, seminar or meeting or whatever other busy work they can think of....it's as clear as mud...

As clear as the muddiest lake in the world-just like the 'return to college after the break' memo this morning.......reminded us to be in for student induction at 8 am, but couldn't confirm the actual date! Half the staff are already gone overseas....with no idea if work starts on the 4th or 5th of Jan.

Yep, same here.

Except all of our staff are still here. Flights are booked so any changes that late in the game are rather impossible.

Sunday the 5th may or may not be an official holiday because it is the Prophet's birthday since....well...several hundred years...obviously not enough time to work it out for sure...

Dear grahamb,

Dare we call it "lunacy?"

Regards,

We are at work in Buraimi, but we are having a Christmas Party. All work is to be avoided.
