Bank holidays, none for ages, then 3 come at once...
My suggestion would be one e ery two months
New years - Jan 1st
Easter - 1st/2nd March (fixed to this date with a large clout nail)
May day - 1st May, ideal
July 1st - "late" may Bank holiday
Sep 1st - "August" BH, near enough
Nov 1st/2nd - "Christmas" BH, ideal for shopping. (What else is Christmas these days?)
If BH falls on a weekend, they are moved to the next week day...
Sorted.
Dyra och försenade – stora brister i statliga it-projekt

Tänk vad 10 lärare extra hade gjort i glesbygdskommuner, eller sjuksköterskor, eller att ha t o m EN (1) polis i närheten ...
Jag kan garantera dig att Skolplattformen och GSIT inte landade i närheten av budget och/eller levererat "värde" 😉 (Jag var med, på insidan, när dessa två rullades ut; merkostnaden för personal och Stockholms Stad är INTE med i "budgeten" - jag vet att det inte är "statliga".)
Näh, nu får jag nog skruva på lite musik och dra upp en server eller två 😊
Jag var precis på väg att lägga till att jag absolut inte förordar annat än ansvarsfullt nyttjande av skattemedel! Andras pengar ska användas med förnuft. Men jag är också övertygad om att det finns gott om IT-system som faktiskt levererar värde och ger besparingar i administration som gör det möjligt att anställa fler ute i verksamheten utan att behöva ta ut högre skatt/avgifter.
Det är de misslyckade projekten som får uppmärksamhet.
Att projekt misslyckas håller jag med om!

🇺🇦🙏 Zelensky: Kharkiv, Dnipro, Dobropillya, our other cities. More than 100 Russian strike drones this night, 375 strike drones since the beginning of the week, more than 190 of them are “Shaheds”.
In Kharkiv, more than 45 people were injured, including two children. The youngest injured person is only five years old. In Dnipro, unfortunately, one person died.
That is why we need pressure on Russia, strong additional sanctions that will work. Pressure from the US, Europe.

Report: A mob chanting ‘Death to Arabs’ shoved & threw objects at a woman in NY.
The men seemed to believe she was part of an anti-genocide protest, "but it’s been reported she was just a concerned resident."
The mob kept up their attacks even as police tried to protect her (see video).
