I came back to work today after a week off. Had a message from my line manager asking if I had any plans to take annual leave off in July and August. I said no, told her it would probably be June or September so if she wanted to take time off at that time I’d be around to cover.
She then said - it’s just that I’ve had holiday requests from the three colleagues with children and I wanted to make sure that you were included in any arrangements if you also wanted time off then too.
(She knows that I prefer to take time off outside school hols but it was nice to think of me at the start).
