Travel plans
*biting nails*
I just requested vacation time* for my proposed trip to the UK. Waiting nervously now for my boss to do his usual waffling, "gee, I don't know if we can really commit to letting you be gone for three weeks" song and dance. I always suspect that he's waiting to see if a more legitimate person** in the office has a more legitimate need*** for vacation at the time I'm requesting.
Everyone think good thoughts, 'kay?
*August 18 through September 6
**Which is to say male and/or married
***Involving children

and don't let them make you feel guilty or anything! you deserve your vacation time!!
i've always had to remind my bosses when i was going to take vacation. they would say yes, i would book my tickets and almost inevitably, one of them would schedule a business trip at the same time and would act surprised when i would remind them that they approved my vacation. they would always get this look in their eyes, like they were about to ask if i could postpone/reschedule and before they could open their mouths i would say: non-refundable plane tickets/event tickets at my destination/meeting friends there/CANNOT CHANGE MY PLANS. and that would be that. until the next time we'd have the same conversation again. lol!
