During September my workplace only ever takes one Monday off not two. A now ex work colleague of mine whined about how unfair it was that we had off Monday X and her boyfriends work had Monday Y off. The Monday her boyfriends work had off she phoned in sick and the manager just scarcastically said oh that's a shame Laura. Feel better soon.
