leave planning

it's only 3&1/2 months till end of the year. most of my colleagues have checked their remaining leaves for 2003, which they have to finish by end of this year.
how obscene is that. finishing 2004's leave this year. this means that they still have 2005's leave untouched !

hehehe..i've checked with hr as well and found out that i still have 18 days from last year, but..... i've taken 8 days for this year which means that i still have 13 days's left.

our company gives us 21 days leave and allows us to carry forward 1 full years leave. as i'm looking after a dept, this policy does not make sense to me but as a fellow employee i'm happy about it.

bring out the calendar !!
