See how the land lies Monday and then suggest a half day Friday on Tues perhaps for a medical appointment. Wouldn't tell them it's to do some binkage. You'll get a rep if they know you play poker for wanting time off
Cheers George. They have private medical care, so I can't use doctors or anything, which is a bit sheet.
If your going to take the Friday off then definitely don't say it's to play pokers

Are you allowed to sell the seat ? Why not ask to transfer it to the next one ? No idea what stakes you usually play but if you don't generally play 1k events it would be something to look forward to and saves having to try and get a holiday on your first day at work.
Yea think I am allowed although haven't had it confirmed. Play anything upto £500 live. Rare that i dabble in anything higher tbh.
Can you say you already had it planned but forgot to mention it?
They asked me if i had anything coming up in the immediate future and i said no, so it would knock my credibility well down.
Cheers Cos and Guy, (although expected a different answer from Mr Johnson) seems pretty unanimous. Gonna sigh sell if i can.
Will see if there is anyone decent left wanting to sell a % for a sweat.
Must admit i expected more answers like.. Just don't turn up, take it down and be a baller.
Thanks for the input everyone. Will probs sleep better tonight now.
