Oh yeah, today is Friday for me. � Next week I start 4 days on and 10 days off for the next 2 months.

Sounds like a good deal to me.

...and this should prevent another page defacement.

Yeah, I have lots of leave to burn. I currently have over 7 weeks.

I was told to use some. Damn shame.

Year 64:

July 18 - Great fire of Rome: A fire began to burn in the merchant area of Rome and soon burned completely out of control while Emperor Nero allegedly played his lyre and sang while watching the blaze from a safe distance, although there is no hard evidence to support this claim, and it is worth pointing out that fires were very common in Rome at the time. The fire destroyed close to one-half of the city and it was officially blamed on the Christians; a small but growing religious movement. Nero was accused of being the arsonist by popular rumour.

In Rome, persecution of early Christians begins under Roman Emperor Nero.

Nero proposes a new urban planning program based the creation of buildings decorated with ornate porticos, the widening of the streets and the use of open spaces. This plan will not be applied until after his death.

Lyon sends a large sum of money to Rome to aid in the reconstruction. However, during the winter of 64-65, Lyon suffers a catastrophic fire itself, and Nero reciprocates by sending money to Lyon.

Phoenicia becomes part of Syria.

The Kushan sack the town of Taxila (in present-day Pakistan).

I'll work 12 days out of 50, and use only 13 days of leave. I'll gain another 5 days of leave so it's a net loss of only 8 days. I'll still have over 5 weeks of leave left.

Year 64 BC:

Servilius Rullus, Roman tribune, proposes an agrarian reform law.

Pompey destroys the kingdom of Pontus; Mithridates VI commits suicide after escaping to the Crimea.

Pompey first annexed Syria, then captured Jerusalem, annexing Judea.

In Syria: Antiochus XIII Asiaticus deposed; this is considered by some the end of the Seleucid dynasty.

See 2 posts above the BC post - i've decided to go boldly into the past as well as keeping pace with the page number, so you get 2 history lessons for the price of one!!

One will be the current page number, and one the (page number BC)...

I have a similar syatem, adjusted for the fact I actually work unlike some

, the shift pattern works out at 14 days working out of every 28, so 4-5 days leave means 2 weeks off work. I got extra time at the start of my leave due to the Falklands parade I did, plus the armoury shift is one day further on than the squadron. The end result is I haven't been at work for almost a month

I am starting to go a little crazy though
