Working on 19th

***Hibby70*** · 10-05-2012 10:28 PM

Got an email from our IT guys in the US today asking that I log into our system to do a test following some hardware changes. Time of test - yes you've guessed it 3pm on 19th May!

They've been told to do one in no uncertain terms.

I've been told that I am working on saturday night... no I'm not morph suit and sick line already lined up.

Unless I was a member of the emergency services -ie job more important that the game - or Jessica Alba's bra inspector for 1 day only, no job on the face of the earth would come between me and this game.
It's a job FFS

**hibee92** · 10-05-2012 10:37 PM

I asked for the Saturday and Sunday off my work as soon as we got through but was told I'd be lucky to get both, only to be told by my boss that she couldn't get me the Saturday off but, and I quote "I've managed to get you the Sunday off so you can still go to the game".

After explaining that the game was on the Saturday, she came back to me only to tell me, "I've got you the Saturday off but we can't get you a shift for the Sunday, and you're off on the Friday as well.

Best mistake ever.

I'm working in the morning. Not a bad thing really. Take my mind off it (Aye right)

Even then I'd still be taking it off!

***lucky*** · 10-05-2012 10:47 PM

I've decided to Give myself Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Monday off. It was a hard choice but believed I deserved mote than anyone else

***Macaroon*** · 10-05-2012 10:47 PM

2 and a half hour Graphic Communication exam the day before the final..

How I'm gonna pass that one is beyond me

***.Sean.*** · 10-05-2012 10:51 PM

A mate of mine has an exam the morning of the Final.

I don't think I'll be picking up a tool until the Thursday - Work's clean on the back burner when there's a Scottish Cup win to celebrate!

**Sir David Gray** · 10-05-2012 10:54 PM

I'm working til 8:30pm next Friday then I've taken the Saturday as a holiday and I'm off anyway on the Sunday and the Monday as scheduled days off so it's worked out really well for me as I'll not be required at work until the Tuesday.

Even then I could be struggling with the after effects of winning the cup!

My manager is an absolute a******. I don't work weekends, so that is fine but I asked for the fri and mon off. He instantly said no and told me that if I came in drunk on the mon, as there are a lot of yams in my work and I obviously wouldn't be able to help myself to give them a proper GIRFUY if we did win, I would get sacked on the spot.

**Hibs90** · 10-05-2012 11:16 PM

Was originally between me and a yam to see who got the day off but the manager seen sense and has let us both off. Happy days

To be fair I'd be sacked on the spot if I was drunk at my work

Yeah true, but if we win. I ain't going to be able to control myself. Especially looking at a couple of poor faced yams.

You don't need to say anything to them. Every time you make any type of eye-contact with them, out of sight of your boss, give them some of this:

Don't think I could wait that long. It will have to happen on the mon back at work. When I instantly see them. If he sacks me, he sacks me but at least it was for a good cause. :)

I found out yesterday that Ive got the day off for the final. Off the Sunday too. Only thing is I don't finish until 23:20 on the Friday night. :-( no sleep for me then.

Ditto - no point in being self employed and not using flexibility

Will be checked into Hotel in Glasgow by 2pm on Friday

Make sure it's not a Hotel where the Yams are doing pre match Hospitality on the Saturday morning

**hiblander** · 11-05-2012 08:29 AM

Girlfriend was like "We have to go to Salzburg to meet the Father in Law for the first time...19th of May"

I was like "No way" spent an hour explaining the importance of the date, got a result - Salzburg Sunday !
with incredibly big hangover !

"Hello Daddy !"

***danhibees1875*** · 11-05-2012 08:33 AM

I had my last exam on wednesday and don't return to uni until the middle of september.

Oops, thought this was the gloating about time off for the final thread.

Doubt it - anyhow will have an afternoon out with the kids (transport Museum?) maybe helping with display layout at Hampden later..then dinner..kids to bed..brother & I a few libations ....bed...big breakfast...SSEC for Home building and renovation show 10am till 1pm ish then off to Hampden....

No travelling and M8 on match day...nerves could not take accident / huge tail back etc....

lets just hope the second half of long week-end is a joyous one

***Billy Whizz*** · 11-05-2012 08:39 AM

Without tempting fate, what time is the Parade planned for in the 20th? I work on Sundays and need to plan some time off!

**21.05.2016** · 11-05-2012 09:41 AM

I've taken the friday off (need to settle the nerves with a few drinks down the pub with my hibee pal!), saturday off (the big game itself!), Sunday off (the aftermath!) and the Monday (further aftermath!).

Win or loose, I will be in no mind set to go into work monday morning!

**vercol36** · 11-05-2012 09:47 AM

At my work, there are four Hibees, a Jambo and two huns. It's not often that the Huns have to cover the rest of us on cup final day! I've told them to get used to it...

I thought I was unlucky having an exam on the Monday after we win the cup .. shame I can't tell the Uni where to go.
