(no subject)

In order to take one of my holidays as leave on other than one of the designated company holidays, I need to designate it as an alternate holiday:

"Alternate holidays must be based on a specific event or milestone, i.e. employee wedding anniversary, birthday of employee or immediate family (spouse, domestic partner, or child), or commonly observed holidays (regional, cultural or religious) such as those found on the diversity calendar."

Looking at the diversity calendar, I see that the first Monday of the first week in February next year will be Imbolc.

So, I'm asking HR for leave to go to visit friends in the UK for Imbolc. :-)
