Nice to Know I Do...

OOpsies...that big trip to see my cousin..well, I forgot to ask my boss. I got so caught up in the moment that I didn't even think about asking...soooo

I scheduled the trip and got all excited and it never even once crossed my mind that I should ask for the time off. Big, Huge Mistake! I should have asked.

I was of the mindset that since I have worked so hard and even went almost a month without a day off that there would not be an issue. My mistake...

Big issue, enough for him to say that I could not be gone etc etc...

What to do? Ticket paid for. Hotel paid for. Expectancy there.

Permission DENIED.

After 24 hours of trying to convince him that it was a relatively short time period,,,Still DENIED.

Then, I opened up and explained that I have not seen this family member in at least 25 years and explained the circumstances. Permission granted!

It has been a rough couple of days. And I am not the begging type...but... After explaining and  something that is akin to begging, Permission Granted!

Here are his words: "Didn't know you gave a shit about anything but work, nice to know you do".

I give a shit (rudely put) but true.

I guess I'm human after all. Nice to know I do, give a shit that is.
