Bank Holiday? I’ve heard of them…

I work for a bank. Today is Easter Monday, a Bank Holiday here in the UK.

Yet I’m sat here at my desk, looking out the window at the sunshine and wishing I was out there….*sigh*

Since starting my shift 5 hours & 45 minutes ago I have handled 5 calls at the very most and our colleagues in India have reported that they are seeing spells of 60 minutes plus between calls. So why am I here?

My mood probably isn’t helped by the fact that I turned up in my usual formal attire only to discover that it was announced late on Friday, when I had a rota’d day off, that today is a casual day. And nobody bothered to let me know. So I could at least be sat here in clothes I find comfortable, but nope, I’m sat here in my smart work wear wishing I could be anywhere else right now.

20:00 isn’t that far away, right? Only 2 hours or so….and then I can go have a nice cold beer and play some pool with my mates!

Thank you for reading the inane ramblings of a bored & frustrated worker on this sunny bank holiday!
