Ok, so it turns out that the elation caused by finding out that we were to have a whole week off for Idul Fitri was a little misplaced - it turns out that the Bupati (regent or governor of Kabupaten Sikka - Sikka Regency) issued a letter to all the government departments giving this information. However, quite understandably, the hospital management has said that the hospital functions on a 24/7 basis and so hospital staff will only get the minimum leave of two days (Monday & Tuesday). This rules out any plans for a trip to Lamalera, it's not really feasible in that short a time so will just have to wait. Ah well....
I'm writing this in the office on Friday morning at 9 am and it appears that many of the admin staff have just decided not to turn up anyway - there was a certain air of disillusionment around yesterday when the news filtered out so I'm not surprised !
And one of my projects is to write a policy dealing with absenteeism - I wonder if there'll be anyone here to read it.
Well at least the HMS Bounty did make into Cork Harbour (Cob - h)Good luck
