I do wonder what the world is coming to sometimes! In the last week I've heard two accounts of leap year madness...
- an assertion that the extra day means people have to work another day and so should be paid overtime for it
- an assertion that this is a 'free' day and so people don't need to go to work
In all my 45 years I've never heard any such nonsense before (although I do seem to recall hearing that in Germany when they began daylight savings hotels adjusted bills to reflect the extra/lesser hour). Is this just greed gone mad? I always thought the only concession of Leap Year's Day was that women could propose to men - though in our culture maybe that's now just an ancient memory.
Maybe the March madness will be a little more sane?!
Right, no more distraction, must get some admin done before lunch time prayers...
