Managing the Management

My last day of work before The Big (not so big this year) Day. I’m back in on the 27^th though, so it’s not like I’ve got a massive break, but at least it IS a break. I’ve tried to be as kind as possible with my staff rotas, and we are blessed with a couple of employees at a couple of the sites who are happy to work most days, but I still feel bad when I have to ask people to man shifts at Winter Holiday Time.
It’s the downside of working in an industry that barely blinks at Christmas.
Anyway, to offset my guilt at asking people to work the festive season, I’m doing quite a few days myself. But it’s lovely to have Xmas Eve, Xmas Day and Boxing Day at home, and I assure you I am far more excited than I probably sound in my recent postings! It’s just been a long year, as it has for all of us, and I feel more relieved than anything to have actually got to this point and to be in a position to enjoy it.
In case I don’t post again tomorrow – wherever you are, whatever Tier you are in, however you are celebrating this weirdest of Christmasses, I wish you a very happy, very safe, cough-free, super-indulgent, love-filled Merry Christmas.
