Things I learned today (Part 2)

Peter Crawley could well do with logging in here. The levels of insult and smack-downs that are commonly used are well above those few feeble efforts he trotted out.

I don’t think “Creepy Crawley” has had a writing gig in the prestigious Irish Times for a couple of years now. CdB had his measure.

Aren’t Communions usually on a Saturday?

[backinatracksuit]

They used to be alright, must be a Covid thing

@backinatracksuit

Schoolteachers are not entitled to a day off to attend their own childrens confirmation or communion.
That was a surprise to me

Can you take a day out of your holiday entitlement?

[backinatracksuit]

I don’t know what that is.

[Juhniallio]

Really? Can you not use one of the holidays youve built up doing personal development courses? I know loads of teachers who do it Nd @RaymondCrotty explained it here before.

[Thomas_Brady]

A course day?

[backinatracksuit]

You can use EPV days of course. But not everybody has EPV days or may have used them for other crucial reasons.
This isn’t me, a colleague said it today, has to take unpaid leave.
I was surprised

You were just asking for a friend?

[backinatracksuit]

I wasn’t asking.

[glasagusban]

Taking a day off for some bullshit and calling it unpaid leave. Your colleague should surely be disciplined for not turning up to work.

[Fagan_ODowd]

@backinatracksuit

I wasn’t asking.

Ok

[anon67715551]

Proof, if it were needed, that every day is a school day. It’s fortuitous that the representative from Mid Ulster no longer attends or there would have been greater outrage.

[backinatracksuit]

[glasagusban]

Bonkers. How on earth did those survive the last few pay agreements.

[Juhniallio]

Ok mr angry. Calm down.

[glasagusban]

Fuckin public service layabouts.

[PasqualePaoli]

Fiat used to serve wine at lunch on a Friday, you didn’t want to get one that was worked on after that

[the_man_himself]

Does that not cover the communion?

[flattythehurdler]

That teachers are surprised they can’t take an extra day off for a family party at the expense of the taxpayer.
