I got the leave I wanted. I grabbed my boss when she got in this morning - I was getting out, fucking night shifts - and asked her;
"Last Tuesday I asked for a leave for the night shift coming up tonight - but I haven't gotten an answer. Today is Thursday. And since it is TONIGHT I want a leave for, I actually NEED one. An answer. To my applying for a leave. Tonight." (I had just finished 10 hours of work, give me a break.)
Oh man, did she look trapped.
She started talking about M., who also applied. I said I knew, and that I knew how M. was told that if she could get a replacement, she could go. Boss started talking about how it was probably a bit late for me to get someone to cover tonight, but HA. I said I'd already talked to one of our temps, who was willing to fill in for me. So basically I gave her no choice but to let me have my leave.
Serves them right for taking more than a week to reply. So now I'm going to sleep, without having to worry about anything else than the actual funeral.
