w*rk stuff

Part of my contract with FAME Recruitment states that in the four months I will be working at Multi-Sharp I am to get one week (16 hours) of paid holiday.

I phoned to find out how I am meant to arrange this - obviously I have to speak to Multi-Sharp about it but surely there is paperwork to be done etc, and I obviously need to speak to FAME about it too, if nothing else to let them know when it is.

The lady on the phone was not able to tell me anything about the procedure for doing this and is apparently going to phone me back. It's now 17.15 so I'm not sure about the whole phoning back business.

How does this sort of thing normally work when working through an agency? I've never done agency work before, I've always been directly employed, so I really don't know this stuff.

Thanks, robotcharlie.

The weekend

Friday after work I got a bit of shopping done (crochet hook, wool, unravel-able sweaters), came home and tidied up a bit, and then went to the House of Kitten.

Much lazing around with knitting, went to bed, got up the next day and washed my head, scritched the kittens, put some more hair in... that sort of thing. Stay Beautiful was fun but I got tired dancing a lot faster than I usually do, I think I only danced for an hour. I am becoming unfit. This is bad. To remedy this I am taking all my beautiful hair extensions out, to enable me to go swimming again.

Sunday was also nice, many people, and marnameow let me cook things. I lost my crochet hook and Marna found it again. I did not want to come home, for all the silly wrong reasons. Staying with marnameow and sbp is wonderful. Much faffing about, herding string. I hate packing. Got here in the end, though.

Tomorrow I get to hear Evelyn Glennie! Yay!

Bed now. Tired.
