Just for a change, I’m thinking of lying to work.
I’ve found a course that I’d like to do at a local college. It’s only one evening a week, for three hours, but obviously my ’management shift pattern’ means that I’m guaranteed to be working at least one Tuesday evening a month so I’d miss quite a few of the lessons. If, however, I can convince work that the course itself would be beneficial to my future achievements within the corporation management structure, then they might be prepared to grant me every Tuesday off. The course starts in January so I need to get a move-on really. Trouble is, with Christmas speeding around the corner like an out-of-control juggernaut it’s hard to pin my superiors down long enough to chat to them. They’re far too busy having inter-departmental conflabs or video-conference-calls with their district-wide counterparts or having slap-up five-star meals at which they briefly discuss Christmas order deadlines to speak to the likes of me. Maybe I’ll swear at another customer tomorrow. I imagine Graham would want to see me pretty sharpish then, and I could mention having Tuesdays off during the disciplinary..
