Reason 7,000,012 I hate my boss...
So, like last year, my boss announced this spring that we were being imposed a month holiday from July 15th to August 15th...I don't necessarily like it, but ok. Last year I was miffed because he told us this AFTER I asked for a week off in June...so there went 5 weeks...
Anyway, today (48 hours before my vacation is to start) :
evilBoss! : So, are you taking any vacation time this summer?
mems_derynicat : ~_~ ??? WTF??? Well, yes, you imposed from July 15th to August 15th....
evilBoss! : I didn't impose! I thought we were closing for a month, but I changed my mind.
mems_derynicat : and you wait until today to inform me?!!??
evilBoss! : Well, when would you have taken a holiday?
mems_derynicat : October!
evilBoss! : Oh, well if you want to work next week, or more, then you can have a week off in October...
mems_derynicat : well, this would be all well and good if I hadn't made PLANS for the 4 weeks I wasn't supposed to be at work!
evilBoss! : well, just let us know.
mems_derynicat : AAARRRGGGGHHHH!
there may have been a few tears or at least a sniffle or 2 when I explained this to my parents over the phone at lunch, because, no, I STILL can't drive and am stuck at work until 5:30pm
The problem is, I don't actually have any plans for next week (or the week after). I was going to get some major house cleaning done (kind of spring cleaning in July) and made several appointments with doctors that I had been putting off, but nothing that would stop me from going to work...I just don't WANT to! And from August 2nd to 13th I am in London so that isn't even an issue.
BUT my dad is having his 80th birthday this October, and all my siblings and their spouses are coming to celebrate, it would be nice to spend time with them!
So, tomorrow, I may or may not be starting my summer holiday...TBC
And in unrelated new, my laptop crashed AGAIN!
