Where work tries to screw over my holiday
Supervisor: "Riiiiiisa-san."
Me: "Hai?"
"Come to festival."
"Fun. Tanoshiso. Day ha?"
"This...Sun....day."
"Gomen. Sorry. Dekinai. Not this weekend. Oyasumi nenkyuu vacation! Tokyo trip. Nan omiyage ga hoshi ka? What Tokyo present is good for office?"
"But. But. This is work. Monday ha daikyuu. Monday off. Oyasumi. For Sunday festival."
I feel like screaming. I told my supervisor I wanted off for tomorrow so I can go to Tokyo for a three day weekend. Said I would be back to work this Monday. More than a month ago. I took nenkyuu. Booked my tickets. I go for a full 8 hours on Sunday to this stupid festival, and while I get Monday off, it screws up every freaking thing.
AND THEY JUST NOW TELL ME. THURSDAY. WHEN IT IS TOO LATE TO CANCEL MY TICKETS.
Seriously thinking about throwing a mini passive aggressive fit about this. Wondering if it's worth it. GUH. I could be working in Osaka right now.
Literally just told me. Less than 5 hours before I need to board the bus to leave.
Issues. I have them :/ My supervisor doesn't speak English, so a lot of our conversations are in broken Japanese/English. I usually reiterate everything I say in English because he recognizes certain phrases. Our office technically has a "translator" but his idea of translating is having me slow down so he can enter every word I say into an electronic dictionary.
Love my job. Hate my BOE.
Edit - I can have Sunday, my day off, if I take it as a vacation day. I have to use a vacation day....so I can use my vacation. But since I didn't "work" on Sunday, I can't have that Monday off.
I have to take a vacation day.
My brain cannot comprehend this. How does this make sense? I'm thinking I might just cancel my whole trip all together. Or go down tonight still and shinkansen up Sunday morning to make it back in time for work.
Still can't comprehend this.
