| Gotta stretch those vacation days |
| 05.31.04 (11:08 am) [edit] |
|
*sigh* See the importance of planning?? *L* (That or giving everyone 6 weeks of vacation as a law....) Life would have been easier if people told me they were getting married before I booked a big vacation (that I already took in January/February). I am always apprehensive about taking vacation early in the year because who knows what might come up at the end of the year. I have 7 days to work with now. I need 5 days for when Wayne visits. I need 2 days prior to my best friend's wedding so I can go help. But... My best friend needs at least another one day for me to scope out the venue and for a weekend of fun and relaxation. My relatives are visiting, and we're taking a weekend to visit another family member we've not seen for a long time. That will require at least 1 day. My cousin is getting married in Australia in November. This is one trip I will not be taking for sure. I don't have a week to. The original plan was to just get away with only the cousins for a trip...maybe go to Fiji or something. My relatives are also taking another weekend to visit my cousin's new pad in Cambridge, MA. I'd love to go to that, but would require another day. And probably money I don't have. I might have to see if I can get things down into half days and work longer hours to get some unofficial overtime. *sigh* Or try to switch working on a holiday in order to take the day off another time. *siiiiiigh* Too bad none of these getaways are on a long weekend :x |

Ugh. It always seems like there just isnt enough vacation time to do everything once wants to do. I hope you are able to work it out.

Luckily, my boss is pretty cool about things as long as we finish our work. I hope to work stuff out with him!!

You could always have a death in the family (wink wink) that's 3-4 days. ;)

My uncle died - granted I failed to mention it was 10 years earlier. Got me out of work for 4 days. (I was afraid of using any other relative that I might have ended up jinxing myself)

Well, I do get the last week in June off from school...it's just a break, but I'm calling it vacation...=) It's the longest break we get, not taking into account holidays and stuff.
