Didnt say I didnt enjoy it.... Though recently it has been a bit of a bore.  Im going to see how things pan out in the next few months, if we dont start doing some .NET developing again Im going to have to go.

Had a chat with my manager.  Were still none the wiser if its a law or not, but company policy is Im allowed the time back as I gave plenty of notice(the day after it happened) and provided a written note from the hospital.

Hed already reported my absence as 3 weeks(15 days), not 8 days, so that overlapped the annual leave and as it cant be both, another reason to have annual leave back.

I asked him about how it would be perceived and as far as hes concerned it makes no difference to him.  I did everything I needed to and he also made the point about me doing it for charity anyway, were a charitable company.

If anything, he came up with more reasons why to take it back, than me making reasons for me not taking it.  I brought up the "dangerous" sport perception that Sam made, he disagreed.

So, big win.  

EDIT: Its fair to say Ive always thought my manager was a top bloke, weve always got on very well and so Im not surprised by the outcome.

next time ask the company to match your donations & wangle the time off for free
